People annually spend billions of pounds Chr(45) needlessly - on
vitamins, minerals, herbal concoctions, ergogenic aids, fitness
equipment and apparel, and alternative health-care treatments. Dr
Larry M. Forness provides the critical tools to help you evaluate
the many health-care and fitness services and products available
today. Using actual ads as examples, Forness presents the best ways
to keep from ever being duped again by an industry that is rife
with deception and ignorance, and also includes specific tips from
industry "insiders". The ultimate goal is to make you
self-sufficient in appraising industry hype, and to give you the
criteria to test real-world results against marketing claims. By
judicious use of VIPs - Very Important Points - and concise
checklists throughout the book, readers are given the most
important facts in a readily usable form. Topics covered include
the real meaning of "scientifically proven"; methods for
quantitatively analysing such claims as "more energy" and "improved
strength"; fad diets; fitness equipment; ageing remedies; abuse of
the labels "certified", "registered", and "licensed"; plus an
extremely useful glossary. Before you begin yet another weight-loss
or fitness program or buy some new health-care product, you owe it
to yourself to read what Dr Forness has to say.
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.
'Jumpstart ' takes a multipronged approach to heath and wellness
that provides impressive results quickly.
Rest is vital to our well being. As important as adequate hydration
and nourishing foods, the human need for rest is often overlooked
and can be the first thing compromised when we are stressed and
busy. We are having difficulty sleeping and even more often, never
feeling truly refreshed. In "The Power of Rest" readers will learn
about the crucial four types of rest: physical, mental, social, and
spiritual. This 30 day innovative program is based on the author's
years of research and experience with rest-deprived patients.
Through step-by-step instructions, readers will learn how to engage
the body's power to restore, renew and replenish. This program
serves anyone feeling sleep deprived or fatigued as well as
offering a potent program for those wanting to lose weight or heal.
Also, the lack of cellular repair is a major contributing factor to
aging. This program can reverse that tired look that often prompts
the call to a plastic surgeon. Developed by a highly regarded
physician trained in sleep medicine, psychiatry, occupational
health, and internal medicine, Dr. Matthew Edlund brings to us the
perfect blend of knowledge and experience. In this program, rest is
literally restoration as Dr. Edlund skillfully teaches you how to
repair, reproduce, rebuild, and renew the cells that determine our
vitality.
"Exercise, Aging, and Health" examines how social, cognitive,
biological and contextual forces influence activity patterns. First
discussing the pros and cons of physical activity for older
persons, the author summarizes the scientific evidence regarding
the effects of exercise among older adults, and then contrasts it
with the known risks of physical activity among the elderly. The
author provides guidelines for safe and easy movements that will
increase both strength and mobility. Additionally, the book
explores the theoretical reasons for which older people do not
pursue regular physical activity and how seniors may overcome this
reluctance.
"Exercise, Health and Aging" promotes awareness of the necessity
for physical activity among the elderly, and examines implications
for future health and social policy. It is essential reading for
professionals in gerontology, sports psychology, health psychology,
physical education and social science programs that deal with older
populations and community resources. I hope you'll consider this
book for review.

*I'll Start Again Monday is a newly revised and condensed version
of Lysa's bestseller Made to Crave.* Have healthy eating plans left
you feeling defeated? Based on her bestseller Made to Crave, Lysa
TerKeurst offers a new perspective to all those stuck in the cycle
of losing weight and then gaining it back, equipping you with the
deeper spiritual and emotional motivation you need to make lasting
changes. So often we characterize our food cravings as bad,
especially when dieting has made us feel even more disappointed and
discouraged. But the reality is we were made to crave. We just need
to realize God created us to crave more of Him instead of
misplacing that craving by overindulging in physical pleasures and
unhealthy choices that will never truly satisfy. In the midst of
her own personal struggle with this, New York Times bestselling
author Lysa TerKeurst invites us to embrace a new outlook that
leads to enduring change. In this newly revised and condensed
version of Made to Crave, Lysa encourages you to: Break the cycle
of "I'll start again Monday" and start taking steps toward
consistency that lasts Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and
make peace with your body Replace rationalizations that lead to
failure with wisdom that leads to victory Reach your healthy goals
and grow closer to God through the process This is not a "how-to"
book. This is not the latest and greatest dieting plan. This is the
necessary resource to use alongside whatever healthy lifestyle plan
you choose that will help you find your "want to" and lead to a
spiritual satisfaction that goes far beyond the physical.
