"The Ultimate New York Body Plan" Selected as January eBook of the Month
Monthly content promotion provides free access to new and notable releases

BOULDER, COLO. NetLibrary, in partnership with McGraw-Hill Professional, has selected USA Today bestseller "The Ultimate New York Body Plan" as the January eBook of the Month. Written by David Kirsch, personal trainer and a fitness guru of the TV show "Extreme Makeover," "The Ultimate New York Body Plan" will be provided with free, unlimited access January 1-31 to more than 12,000 member libraries and their patrons.

Supermodels Heidi Klum and Linda Evangelista, as well as celebrities such as Liv Tyler, have turned to David Kirsch when they needed to get to their level of optimum fitness--fast. By crunching his famous six-week training course into a 14-day high-intensity program, Kirsch has streamlined his proven formula of proper nutrition and exercise to target the problem areas--and transform the body in the shortest time possible.

Kirsch outlines a training plan that combines highly intense workouts with a sensible nutrition plan that prohibits alcohol and limits carbs and unhealthy fats. For readers wary of protein shakes, he offers the "The Ultimate Recipe Collection," filled with delicious meals including Roasted Red Pepper Frittata, Mediterranean Chicken Stir Fry, and Turkey and Spinach Burgers. Readers will also find inspiring true stories and personal questionnaires that help provide the motivation they will need to transform their bodies.

To help libraries promote featured eBook of the Month titles to their patrons, NetLibrary has developed a tool kit of free promotional materials that includes print-on-demand bookmarks, sample press releases, and electronic support materials.
