- EVERGREEN, COLORADO--19 OCT 92: Remember when only encyclopedias came on
- CD-ROM? Cordillera Press will become the first electronic publisher to market a
- complete personal fitness training program on CD-ROM when it begins shipping
- copies of "THE OUTDOOR ATHLETE: Steve Ilg's Cross-Training Guide for Wholistic
- Fitness and Sport Performance" on November 1. "The Outdoor Athlete" CD-ROM
- combines text, QuickTime video with narration, and interactive files for
- journal keeping to provide a personal training program which can be tailored to
- individual sports and ability levels.
-
- "The Outdoor Athlete" CD-ROM is designed to take advantage of the recently
- released Apple Macintosh Performa 600 CD, part of Apple's plan to expand its
- product line among first-time users, and its high-end counterpart the Macintosh
- IIvx CD. The CD-ROM features QuickTime video of thirty-three exercises; sport
- specific training programs for many outdoor activities, and Steve's
- inspirational and informative essays. The interactive journal files permit one
- to record daily workout routines and then total cross-training hours monthly
- and annually.
-
- Steve Ilg is one of America's most creative personal trainers. His total
- training concept of "wholistic fitness" has been featured in "Outside",
- "Climbing", "Triathlete", "Rock & Ice", and other outdoor and fitness
- magazines. Wholistic fitness blends strength training, cardiovascular training,
- kinesthetic (flexibility) training, meditation, and nutrition into a balanced
- cross-training program. Steve's first book, "The Outdoor Athlete: Total
- Training for Outdoor Performance", was originally published in 1987 and is now
- in its fifth printing.
-
- In addition to the Apple Performa 600 CD/Macintosh IIvx CD, The Outdoor
- Athlete CD-ROM works with any Macintosh having a 68020, 68030, or 68040 central
- processor with at least 4 megabytes of memory, running System 7.0 or higher,a
- color monitor, a CD-ROM drive, and a hard drive with at least 2 megabytes of
- free space. The CD also contains a black and white version without QuickTime
- for use on Apple PowerBook models. "The Outdoor Athlete" CD-ROM retails for
- $39.95.
