Create the body you’ve always wanted with Harley Pasternak
It isn’t just celebrities like Kayne West and Alicia Keys that sing (and in their case, literally!) the praises of fitness trainer & nutrition expert Harley Pasternak.
The Shopping Channel is lucky enough to have Harley back in our TV studios today. Tune in at noon, 4PM and 9PM ET today as Harley takes us through the research and benefits behind his 5 Factor program & demonstrates workouts you can do at home using his Harley Bar.
Here’s what other customers of The Shopping Channel have to say about Harley Pasternak’s fitness program:
I love these workouts. All that is required is a small amount of space and some basic equipment, hand weights, possibly a chair and a mat. I love the flexibility to make the workout as easy or as hard as you need. I was a very disciplined exerciser for many years and recently lost motivation. When I saw Harley on TV I liked his enthusiasm so I thought I would give his system a try. I like the simple exercises and Harley gives you options to make the workout more intense or less intense. I feel it is a get back to basics system that doesn’t use gimmicks. I have been using these DVD’s for a few months now and I feel I’m back into a good exercise routine again. I purchased this for the DVD’s. However I did read the info on the diet plan and it too is a get back to basics, sensible eating plan. Overall I like Harley’s common sense approach to diet and exercise. - Lisa from Brampton, ON
After losing 40 lbs and with 20 to go, I lost motivation even though I have a lot of fitness equipment including a high end treadmill. I ordered this program on a whim, thinking I might use it once in a while for a little variety. WRONG! I cannot get enough and the rest of my equipment and DVDs might end up collecting a little dust. I like it so much I have ordered Harley’s book and looking at the other items he has to complete the set. Don’t hesitate, you will not be sorry with this purchase. - Donna from Eilliot Lake, ON
I purchased the DVDs 4 weeks ago and can’t get enough. It’s 25 mins in total which provides a total body workout. All you need is a small set of weights, a mat and a small workout space. It’s not a huge time commitment but if you challenge yourself….you’ll get a great workout and feel better. I highly recommend the 5 Factor Fitness DVDs. - Richard from Ottawa, ON

My “I’m worth it!” promise - update #4
Well this week I am seeing the pounds start to come off. I’m down to 125lbs and I’m still dropping inches off my waist. I have really been trying to watch how many carbs I eat in a day. Carbs are important, but it is the type of carbs and when I’m eating them that makes a difference. I am also starting each day off with hot water and a squeeze of lemon. It is a great morning pick me up.
I decided to set the bar higher for myself and book a vacation with the kids to Florida. The thought of the beach is heaven but the thought of the drive there and back solo is daunting. I am hoping the idea of a bathing suit keeps me motivated. As soon as school is out we hit the road!
I really enjoyed seeing the difference this week in how my clothes felt on. We had some great new tops and dresses that I tried on and they fit so much better. I particularily liked how flattering the Kim & Co Blockbuster Set and Red Coral Sleeveless Dress.
I have really noticed how when I am completely stressed that rebounding on the AeroPilates machine helps. I just close my eyes and jump. With the nice weather here gardening has also been good exercise. Hauling topsoil, mulch and digging holes for planting has given me a workout. Don’t forget to wear your sunscreen and we sell a great selection here.
Thanks again for all the comments. Kudos to those of you who are keeping up with the healthier living. I want to hear your progress!

My “I’m worth it!” promise - update #2
So I am continuing my quest to get healthier. One of the things I thought a lot about this week was why do we sometimes turn to food as a crutch? We all have triggers that make us do things we regret. My weakness is chocolate. I spoke with Marjolein Brugman and we agreed that a little cheat for me was better than depriving myself completely and triggering a total pig out day. So, I am allowing myself a tiny piece of dark chocolate each day 
The question remains though: what is it that triggers me to want bad foods or to not take care of myself? I think at times we all feel inadequate. I went years trying to meet someone else’s expectations of how my body should be. The fact that I could not meet those standards resulted in me giving up. I was going about it all the wrong way. I should want to be healthy for me. Pressure from others is never helpful - in fact I think it has the reverse effect.
It is a change of mindset that will get me further. We have some great books for success here at The Shopping Channel. Some target your mindset (Dr. David Posen) some target outer beauty (Dr. Perricone), some look at taking control of your health (Suzanne Sommers) and some give you fitness & nutrition plan (Harley Pasternak). Take at look at your own mindset and offer it some expanded knowledge. Not to mention that just the simple act of reading is a great way to unwind.
The workouts are going well and I am getting at least 5 workouts in per week. The healthy eating is also getting easier. I will post some updated measurements next week, but I am already receiving comments from people that I look better. Encouragement. That’s what we need.
Remember it is about you and how you feel.
Keep it - we are all worth it.
