'This ten-week programme is a fantastic example of Simon's thoughtful and effective approach to fitness.' Tom Hiddleston

'With Simon, I understood that the work and preparation you have to do before starting a shoot is just as important as what happens in front of the camera. Filming a movie is like running a marathon – if you don’t arrive well prepared, you will pay for it at the end.' Diego Luna

'Simon is a no-nonsense trainer – without pretension. He has an incredible wealth of experience. What he says makes sense and his workouts just work.' Rachel Weisz

The ancient Greeks trained in the nude in the gymnasium and also competed in the buff in the Olympic Games – they literally had skin in the game. The ancient Greek word for gymnasium – gumnasia – means to train naked. However, the ancient Greek gyms were not just for physical training but also had dedicated spaces for intellectual exercise, for philosophy, teaching and conversation.

To train naked is to show up just as you are – no pretences, no masks, no BS. We train to compete, we practise in order to nail a presentation. We should also be training to become better human beings, to craft meaningful lives, do work that matters, and to thrive in chaos. Pierre du Plessis’s daily reflections, meditations and practices presented in this book are a call to train naked, to practise for the ultimate marathon, and to have skin in the game.

Train Naked is a curated selection of short reflections – prompts to get skin in the game – on building a meaningful life and doing work that matters. Combined with a selection of ancient practices, such as meditation, Pierre’s thoughts and ideas aim to inspire each reader to take charge, to try, to act, to learn and to do.

Daar is soveel teenstrydige inligting beskikbaar oor watter dieet om te volg, hoeveel oefening om te doen, hoeveel water om te drink, watter medisyne om te neem, ensovoorts.

In hierdie boek wys dr. Dawie hoe die pasient medeverantwoordelik is vir sy of haar eie gesondheid.
