Product Description

How Fit is Your Lifestyle? To lose weight, you may hire a Registered Dietitian to design a healthy eating program. To get in shape, you may hire a Certified Personal Trainer to design a fitness program. True fitness however, is fitness from the inside out. That means that not only do you look better, but ALL aspects of your life are fit, healthy and whole. What about your emotions? Your stress level? Your relationships? Your spiritual needs? Unfortunately, when it comes to these aspects of health and wellness, we may either overlook them, or merely look for tips and suggestions. While advice in these categories can be extremely valuable, it's not enough if we want to look, feel and live our best.

A fitness book that I liked and continue to follow.
 
Review Date: November 7, 2008
Reviewer: Mary G. Longorio, Eagle Mountain, UT

I hesitated to mention I have adapted many of the ideas in this book into my life since I am neither svelt or fit. But I am always looking for a book to coach me when I decide to make positive changes in my life.

The Lifestyle Fitness Program is that book. Debi Silber, known as "the Mojo Coach" takes the reader through easy to understand concepts that if adapted can make positive changes in the reader's health and life. Covering all aspects of healthy living, this deceptively simple book takes each concept, distills it into a three or four page chapter. There is also a website that compliments the book. What makes this so readable is the vast array of subjects touched upon... daily stress, family obligations, nutrition, exercise, relationships spirituality and others and presents the reader with easy to read suggestions to evaluate the impact on the reader's own life and ways to make it work for the reader. This is written in an easy to read format and is very reader friendly and the suggestions are things that a real person can actually commit to. This is a book that will provide a great foundation and structuring for your upcoming New Year's resolutions.
A comprehensive overview of wellness for moms
 
Review Date: October 1, 2008
Reviewer: Ann Dunnewold,
This book is chock full of excellent practical ideas for taking control of your life in every realm: physical, emotional, spiritual, relational. It is a quick, manageable method for making change in a busy mom's life, with a particular emphasis on weight and fitness. I particularly like the "one goal at a time" focus of this book. Moms need to heed this aspect, for some readers may easily get overwhelmed at all the possible changes the author outlines. Very readable, with realistic steps each reader can tailor to her own situation.

Review Date: July 27, 2008
Reviewer: M. Bruner, Oklahoma!
Finally, a well-written, easy to read and well-organized fitness program to support a busy mom's lifestyle. The lifestyle fitness program covers: nutrition, stress control, physical fitness, emotional well being, relationship issues, and spiritual fitness. This is a workbook meant to be used, written in, shared, highlighted, noted with paperclips, and littered with post-it notes. The anecdotes, motivational tips, and inspirational insights will encourage anyone needing to transform their life.

Sibler is an expert in nutrition, a certified personal trainer and skilled whole health coach. She has worked with busy mothers for nearly thirty years and she has combined all of her years of training both textbook and on-the-job in this total resource manual. Sibler takes the many facets of being a mother and uncovers them one issue at a time. There are several caught my attention:
* recognize and fulfill the crave
* learn the words (baked, broiled, roasted, creamy, sautéed, ) that help you know if the dish is fatty or not
* control the lapse - find out why you made a relapse, deal with it, control it and make a decision to regain control
* categorize your stress, manage the issue, delegate and let go
* modify your idea of weight loss success - its not all in the poundage
* pay it forward by sharing your successes with others

THE LIFESTYLE FITNESS PROGRAM is a unique workbook that will provide eye opening advice for the dedicated mom. This is not a guide to guilt you into making changes but a motivational tool that encourages you to make incremental modifications that you can easily incorporate into your everyday life. Oh, did I mention the free audio download and emailed emotional support...more than a book it's a personal trainer/wellness coach that you can carry with you.

Review Date: July 4, 2008
Reviewer: Rena M. Reese, Potomac, MD United States
As I started reading Debi Silber's book I was ready for some advice to incorporate into my life. I had my light blue highlighter in hand because I quickly figured out that this book is not just to be read, it is meant to be "used".... written in, highlighted and doggie-eared. It is just as much a workbook as an instructional tool, motivational tool, myth buster and cheerleading squad to boot. The problem was that I began to realize that I was highlighting the MAJORITY of each page. She has so many nuggets of INSPIRATION and tips to SUCCEED between the covers. She has so much interesting data, real numbers, trends, scientific info in understandable terms that "highlighting my book" was truly highlighting "the book!"

If you have tried everything, tried nothing, feel hopeless or hopeful about transforming your life as a mom in an effort to include more joy, balance, as well as physical and spiritual vibrancy this book is a tool for you.

Debi really wants her readers to succeed at creating a life they love. This is obvious here. It is also evident by the EXTRA BONUS she gives readers,a free audio download and the incredible website support that is available for anyone ready to dig in and create their best life and body.

This book has a heartbeat.
Finally, great advice for changing your life
 
Review Date: June 13, 2008
Reviewer: Stephanie Manley, Houston, TX
Debi Silber puts together an advice book on many areas of your life. What I liked the most about this book is that she doesn't ask you to radically do anything, but make decisive changes in slow steps so you really can change your life. I like she doesn't ask you to radically change everything overnight, she knows you are busy, but you want to get your life back under control.

She writes about your life in many different fascets, we are not one sided, and neither is her approach. She gives a great deal of advice on nutrition, relationships, emotions, spirituality, stress control, and yes, fitness. Her advice is basically to take baby steps to make progress, for example trying to cut back on eating? Decide how much you will drink at a party before you leave, alternate your drinks with water, cut your drinks with spritzer. Order an appetizer instead of an entree.

So often advice books ask you to make radical changes that are difficult to stick with. I think that Debi Silber has really grasped that small changes made over time add up to lasting change. I think being a mom, having children, relationships with others, are taxing enough. Putting yourself through radical change is only going to heap more stress upon you. Stick with this book and the advice given, and you will see those changes that you desire.

Product Description

Judith Hanson Lasater has been teaching an annual yoga retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, in Helena, Montana, for 28 years. When she learned that one of her students was collecting Lasater’s thoughts — which she called “Judith’s aphorisms” — Lasater decided to collect them in this book. Featuring one thought for each day of the year, along with a suggested practice, these brief, powerful insights reflect the author’s knowledge of classic yoga philosophy and years of experience. Humorous, inspiring, and surprisingly down-to-earth, they guide seekers both on and off the yoga mat. These aphorisms address love, asana, fear, trust, expectations, pranayama, suffering, laughter, presence, the Yoga Sutra, and much more. They emphasize the experience of being present to one's self and to life’s ups and downs — day by day, breath by breath, moment by moment. A Year of Living Your Yoga is a gentle invitation to readers to know themselves on a deeper level.

Product Description

The Bowflex PR1000 home gym is a great way to strengthen your muscles and add a bit of cardio training to the mix with over 30 strength exercises and a built-in rowing station. With up to 210 pounds of Power Rod resistance, this versatile machine helps work the abs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, and lower body.

They're precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested 4 separate times to ensure quality and durability. The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out.
