Leading Fitness Expert Kathy Smith Coming Soon to Naturaljourneys™

New Deal to introduce the innovative Matrix System, "The Next Generation of Fitness"

Click for PDFCAMARILLO, CA. (January 9, 2005)—Naturaljourneys™, a division of Goldhil Entertainment, and fitness industry icon Kathy Smith have joined forces to get America in shape with the progressive Matrix System. Kathy earned her title as "America's Trainer" by launching the home workout movement in 1980, and she has achieved platinum status by selling over 16 million videos worldwide with over 40 popular fitness titles. Her speaking engagements alone reach millions of people each year, and she has appeared on The Today Show, CNN, Oprah and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"I'm really excited about working with a company as focused on fitness as I am," says Smith. "The Naturaljourneys brand has a great track record, and together we're going to give people the wellness solutions they deserve for a strong and healthy lifestyle."

Kathy Smith's new programming, slated for spring of '06, will introduce her vast audiences to the innovative Matrix System—an integrated training philosophy that has been called the "next generation of fitness." Fans can also look forward to the re-launch of many of Kathy's most popular workouts starting in May. These will include the classic programs coupled with contemporary bonus features.

It is no wonder that Sports Illustrated says "Kathy Smith is Fitness in America!" Whether it's pregnancy or menopause, Kathy's commitment to her audience is a result of her own quest for good health. Most recently, she was named "America's Body Guru" by More magazine, and Fitness magazine voted Kathy Smith the top DVD workout for 2006. On the Today Show with Katie Couric, Kathy was chosen to discuss how "50 is the new 30." This continuing legacy shows us that it is possible to be unstoppable… and that is truly inspiring.

Currently, Kathy is Yahoo!'s premium fitness expert, where her health blog appears twice a week with exposure to over 101 million unique visitors per month. Look for it at www.Yahoo.com.
