You are a "node" when you use the Sleeping Beauty Workout

Although not directly using the internet while working out in your sleep with our product, the Sleeping Beauty connects you directly to our database so that we can track your body's progress.
As the machinery on The Sleeping Beauty collects the calories burnt, your muscle composition, and your weight intervals, these statistics will be sent to my blog so that I can collect the data for our database.  In this way, you are acting as a "node" on the internet in the same way you would be when using social media, researching, or just surfing the web.  This information will NOT display your name, so no need to worry.  It is just for the organizational purposes of this product, and also to help YOU. You will be able to log on to the blog and see your progress in an organized manner.
There is a unique security code on the back of each machine that will be used in the database, and that is how you will find your statistics online.  This way, we are doing it for you- no need to step on the scale, see how your muscle tone is changing, and so on and so forth.  By checking online, The Sleeping Beauty team will present your progress right before your eyes (and in the mirror, of course)!

Perez Hilton- an entrepreneurial blogger

Perez Hilton is an American blogger who tracks the fast life of Hollywood and it's new and old stars.  He is known for posts addressing gossip about actors, songs by musicians and his/the nation's feedback, and even current events.
Perez Hilton's blog is very addicting.  Once you are on this website, there are hundreds of pages that go back covering merely the past 4 or 5 days.  There is so much that he puts up in so little time, it is almost hard to imagine how anyone can accomplish such a busy and successful blog.  He does this, however, by addressing the most interesting aspects of both celebrity life and real live news.
I love Perez.  It is almost as if you get to know him through his blogs, as his personality really shines through in each and every piece of "gossip".  Although very silly at times, most of his posts are extremely informing and interesting to follow.  Check it out for yourselves, hope you guys like it: http://perezhilton.com/

The Sleeping Beauty- multitasking benefits

The Sleeping Beauty blog will have many components in its final product.  As I have mentioned, I will include videos, tutorials, pictures, statistics, and more on my blog for your benefit.  The multitasking component on my computer will make this much simpler and more efficient to execute.
Multitasking, as defined by its name, allows a user to navigate and complete multiple tasks at one time, on one computer screen.  When I am uploading videos, pictures, and graphs to my blog, I will need to use many different programs at one time.  Such programs will include Microsoft Excel, Photoshop, Final Cut Express, perhaps iPhoto, and more.  Multitasking will enable me to do this without confusion and in a much faster time span.
The multitasking characteristic of my MacBook Pro makes this entire process much easier.  Think about it- how much more efficient is a person who is able to multitask compared to one who cannot? The same applies for computers- it just makes it simpler!

Pictures in High Definition using Lossy Compression

On my blog, I will soon post pictures of the final product- The Sleeping Beauty.  In order to get the best quality picture onto the computer, I will need to use something called "lossy compression". Lossy compression works to minimise the amount of data that needs to be held and transmitted by the computer.
Lossy compression is also used in mp3 players, and it works to discard the sounds that cannot be heard by the human hear (below 20Hz and above 20kHz), so that the sound is cleaner, clearer, and more defined.  I will be using this tool in the same way, but to help to improve the quality of my images.  Medium compression, which will contain 92% less of the information used in un-compressed photos, will result in the best quality image.
The images that I upload will contain close-ups of the small machine (where you plug in the statistics of your workout), the wires and where/how they connect to your body, and before and after images of The Sleeping Beauty's users.  I hope this helps! Thanks guys!!

The Sleeping Beauty- RFID Chip as a safety device

The RFID chip is one of the coolest and most innovative inventions I have ever heard of (aside from my Sleeping Beauty).  Well, lucky for me, I get to incorporate this piece of technology into my workout machine.  Just as an RFID chip can monitor an athlete on the playing field, the chip will be integrated into the Sleeping Beauty to monitor the sleeper/exercise model in his or her sleep.
I have gotten a few messages with questions concerning the user's heart-rate while using this product in one's sleep.  Can one die in his or her sleep while using this product? How do you know it is safe? What if one's heart-rate skyrockets in his or her sleep while on this machine? This product is too good to be true...etc.  Well the chip will monitor one's heart rate to make sure this does not happen.  Further, it will monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and a number of other variables to ensure that the user of The Sleeping Beauty will have a productive, healthy, and calorie-burning sleep.
No worries to all of my viewers, followers, and potential users! If anything appears irregular, the machine will sound off, like an alarm, waking up the user and bringing levels back to normal.  Aside from those who will use this product for an improved body image, this product can ALSO help those at risk of a heart attack, for the second heart-rate is irregular, the alarm will awaken the user and, if in severe condition, our product will give this user the opportunity to get to the hospital on time.  So, not only is the Sleeping Beauty going to improve your body image, but it will also protect you from any unhealthy conditions in your sleep.

Testimonial- you will see how the Sleeping Beauty works in the near future!

Using progressive download, I will be able to display a video of the Sleeping Beauty doing its work on a client.  This video will first show how to set up the machine, attach it to your body, and get it running. It will then proceed to show how the Sleeping Beauty works the muscles.  I am very excited for all of you to watch this video and see why I am so enthusiastic about my product.
Progressive download, though you cannot fast forward and skip to parts of the video, is very efficient, cheap, and simple to use.  As opposed to streaming, where you can fast-forward the video, progressive download can never damage your computer, and it is compatible with all machines.
Also, because you cannot fast-forward while watching my video, I am hoping that you will take it in and really get to witness the Sleeping Beauty do its magic :)! Progressive download is yet another tool that is helping me along with my innovative process, hope you guys like it!

How I will prove to you that this product really does work- managing my statistics

Microsoft Excel is a wonderful tool.  It is a special kind of spreadsheet software that allows you not only to store data, but it performs calculations on the data that you store.  I'm sure most of you have already used this software, but now I'm going to use it for your benefit.
Before the Sleeping Beauty is sold commercially, a few tests will be run over the course of three months.  Twenty candidates will try the Sleeping Beauty- all using it without attending the gym and partaking in their regular workouts, ten while on a normal, healthy diet, and the other ten while eating whatever they please.  The Sleeping Beauty is designed to tone any body, whether dieting or not, but will, of course, bring the best result to someone who maintains a healthy lifestyle.
I will organize this data using my favorite tool- Microsoft Excel.  Excel will organize this data in a very straightforward, easy to read way: the twenty men and women and whether or not they've been eating well while using my product, their starting weight, their resulting weight, their starting pant size, their resulting pant size, and how much weight they lost/how many pant sizes they went down. All I'll have to do is plug in the numbers, and by using the SUM and AVERAGE functions, you will be able to see the miracle that the Sleeping Beauty brings to its users.

*This spreadsheet will eventually be available on my website for all to see.
