Prancercise(r): The Art of Physical and Spiritual Excellence, is a
whole new way of thinking and approaching fitness. To be really fit
we need to consider more than just ourselves; we need to also
consider the conservation of the environment (as through
vegetarianism), and non-violence, through our thought process and
behavior. This book is a true literary resource well researched and
documented, not just propaganda. It's a recipe for fitness, health,
and self-fulfillmen
It's no secret that most of us get flabbier the older we get, and
it's no surprise that the biggest spike in weight happens in the
early stages of parenthood. Mark Macdonald knows the struggle
himself, having gained thirty-five pounds after the birth of his
son. It happened to him even as a nutritionist and former fitness
model, so he knew he wasn't alone in the struggle. Along with his
wife, Abbi, Mark has created this proven eight-week program
specifically geared toward parents to help them shed the weight,
discover new amounts of energy, and most importantly, create new
sustainable habits to keep it from coming back.
This quick and easy-to-read book of humorous vignettes, taken
from the author's daily life, provides readers with profound yet
practical strategies to personally explore everyday occurrences.
Readers are coached to step into their own authenticity, while
embracing ambiguity and a sense of the unknown. Building on the
book "Rushing to Yoga," this book delves into a deeper level of
self-exploration and personal insight. It is a must-read for anyone
who is questioning their own sense of purpose.
Get fit the old school way. These four routines from the late
1800's and early 1900's are time-tested and practical. Includes
text and pictures direct from the old exercise manuals themselves.
These full body strengthening routines are easily adapted into a
weekly rotation. With the exception of one dumb-bell routine, the
remaining three routines require no apparatus and are good for
staying fit on the go. These routines are accessible enough for
middle-agers to regain their fitness, yet still challenging enough
to serve as a tool for those training in their athletic prime.
