IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FITDECK JOINS FORCES WITH WARNER
BROS. CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO HELP KIDS GET ACTIVE WITH
SUPERMAN EXERCISE FLASH
CARDS
San
Diego,
July 19, 2006 -- Coinciding with the release of Warner Bros.
Pictures’ epic action adventure
Superman Returns, FitDeck announced today a partnership
with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Comics, to
create Superman
Exercise Flash Cards for Kids.
FitDeck is an innovative
deck-of-cards workout that flew off the shelves when it was unveiled
two years ago as an affordable alternative to expensive gym
memberships. The company has created a new line of
Superman-themed cards
designed specifically for children.
By adding more wild cards to
the deck, the Superman
Exercise Flash Cards place a bigger emphasis on fun. In the
deck these action-oriented wild cards are based on
Superman and include
such characters and attributes as
Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, X-Ray
Vision, Kryptonite
and Faster than a Speeding
Bullet. An accompanying booklet lists over 70 different
games to play using the cards.
Each card depicts a boy
or a girl performing a different exercise. Cards are color-coded by
muscle group and offer three different levels of repetitions for the
beginner, intermediate, and advanced player.
“I have four-year-old
twins, and they’re crazy about
Superman,” says Phil Black, founder of FitDeck. “If I
asked them to turn off their video and join me for some push-ups,
they’d never listen. But they’ll listen to the
Man of Steel. The
Superman cards turn
exercise into a game. I’m thrilled that Warner Bros. Consumer
Products has agreed to work with us. Now we have a DC Super Hero on
our side to help get kids exercising.”
Superman
Returns is
expected to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer.
FitDeck is hoping that renewed interest in the
World’s Greatest Super Hero
will inspire kids to begin exercising and get active.
