A music production is produced in a recording studio, with the help of a music producer.

MusicMuscle Stress Relief

Music MuscleŽ- Exercises for anywhere. . .

Sparx designed this fitness routine to relieve the
stress of travel and keep their bodies fit while they toured.

It's great for everyday. You can do this workout
anywhere- even in a small hotel room.

Music MuscleŽ is a forty-five minute workout using some
elements of Yoga and Aerobics. The only equipment you'll need
is a cassette player and two half-liter bottles of water for
resistance for the arm exercises.

Business Travel Is So Glamorous?

You've just arrived at the hotel. You're tired and looking "hangdog". You have five phone and nine e-mail messages. On top of everything you have an important dinner to attend in two hours. You could:

- Take a nap (and wake up feeling and looking like you could use 8 more hours of sleep)
- Head to the bar (and in two hours you're surely be "fun" at dinner)
- Slip the Music MuscleŽ tape into your player and listen to the soothing sounds and enthusiastic directions for a stress relieving, tension reducing and mentally rejuvenating session. Experience the sounds of Joan and Anne playing Rodrigo, Mozart and Bach while they focus your mind and body on these areas:

1. Breathing
2. Stretching
3. Upper body
4. Arms
5. Lower body
6. Legs
7. All-out workout
8. Cool down

Thanks to Music MuscleŽ, after a soothing shower you will emerge from your hotel room like Clark Kent from his phone booth.
