Becoming lean and fit is not a matter of training for a few weeks, like Rocky, to become a world champion. That only happens in Hollywood movies that portray professional athletes exercising for hours every day until they are exhausted. Real athletes never do that. They train only to the point that they can recover for the next day s training. Their progress comes in small increments, not heroic triumphs. Unfortunately, movies have persuaded people that they can become lean and fit virtually overnight. Even the weight loss and fitness industry bought into this distortion and began pushing people to become like Rocky. When that approach failed, because people were injuring themselves or burning out or jumping from one program to another, trainers began to entertain their clients instead of finding solutions to their problems. If you want to become truly lean and fit, you must work at it like an athlete, following a structured routine and that is easier and more pleasant than you may expect. The principles that work for athletes also work for ordinary people of all ages. Athletes, of course, have coaches. The Happy Body program, on the other hand, will teach you everything you need to know to be your own coach. This innovative program establishes, for the first time, exact scientific and testable methods and goals to engineer your own weight loss and fitness within precise time periods. That empowers you to self-correct your progress at every step. The Happy Body is a total health program, not just an exercise or diet plan. It will teach you to safely lose 1.0 to 2.5 pounds every week, and keep them off, without getting stuck at plateaus. You will have full control over the process, right down to the ounce. In addition to teaching you how to lose weight, the program will also help you to restore the flexibility and posture you had as a young child, and to be leaner, stronger, and faster than you have ever been. In essence, The Happy Body program will not only make you as youthful as you were at twenty, but twenty a...

This will undoubtedly be the most surprising and unusual book you have ever read on the subject of physical fitness. It will challenge your assumptions and turn your thinking upside down. The book begins with a concise review of humanity’s five thousand year quest for health, fitness, and longevity. With the benefit of this perspective, what have been our true best practices? (Hint: proper breathing, form, and range of motion are important; gallons of sweat are not). It ends by detailing an eminently practical and low-impact exercise routine for people of all ages and fitness levels. In between is an entertaining, often humorous, occasionally tragic “fitness fable” that readers will quickly identify with, particularly baby-boomers. Refreshingly absent are the mind numbing case histories, lame before-and-after photos, product line pitches, and self-promotion that fill so much of the genre. The dominant theme is that physical fitness is a mental challenge, not a physical challenge. The leveraging of the psychological aspect of life-long fitness is what especially sets Joe X apart from the rest of the field. Joe X is a fast, enjoyable read, packed with both timeless wisdom and poignant advice. Its content can be put to practice immediately. A gem of a book, you’ll want to share it with loved ones, friends, and colleagues.

Every member of the Dean family was overweight and out of shape. Within twelve months, Tony Dean, his parents, and his five brothers and sisters had lost more than 500 pounds. And they did it without pills, special foods, counting points, or buying any special equipment. They had all tried to lose weight before, but despite the occasional small success, the weight loss was always temporary. So how did this ordinary family manage to overcome a lifetime of weight problems to achieve such remarkable results? They did it together following the F.A.S.T. (Families Always Succeed Together) diet, a program Tony created that encouraged everyone to eat better, exercise more, and hold themselves accountable for maintaining their individual health while encouraging others in the family to stick to their own diet and exercise regimen. And it worked. The Deans are in the best shape of their lives, slimmer and healthier than ever before–and they plan to stay that way. In The F.A.S.T. Diet, Tony Dean shows you how to create your own team–of friends, coworkers, or anyone interested in losing weight–and harness the power of teamwork and accountability to help you succeed. The F.A.S.T. Diet will show you how to:• Eat the foods you want and still lose weight• Host weekly weigh-ins to maximize your loss potential • Motivate yourself to go to the gym even when you don’t want to • Use the support of your team to get you through the tough days In just one year, the Deans transformed their health and their future.
