"Dieters of varying fitness levels who are tired of the same-old "miracle cures" may find this refreshing." (Library Journal Online, April 8, 2008)
From the Inside Flap
Exercise can decrease your risk of heart disease, improve your memory and your mood, help you sleep better, and slow down the aging process. And yet most of us can find plenty of excuses for not exercising. In this surprising new guide from the medical director of the world-renowned Cooper Clinic, you'll discover how, in just minutes a day, you can dramatically improve your health—without running a marathon, joining a gym, or even breaking a sweat.
Move Yourself offers an innovative, easy-to-follow prescription for infusing your daily life with just a few minutes of low-dose physical activity—and reaping big health benefits from the start. Dr. Tedd Mitchell of the Cooper Clinic, fitness research expert Dr. Tim Church, and veteran health writer Martin Zucker present a manageable program that will have you up and moving, eating better, and feeling great.
First, you'll get a clear understanding of how physical activity protects you from a wide range of common diseases, as well as never-before-published information about the ways movement improves quality of life. Then you'll customize your plan by selecting one of the three Move Yourself programs packed with cardio, nutrition, and weight-resistance advice tailored to your needs.
Filled with lessons from the authors' thousands of patients and study participants, this medically sound program gives you the tools to:
Start logging your daily activity
Add movement easily into your daily routine
Get moving when you're tired, traveling, busy, or depressed
Optimize your cardiovascular health
Strengthen your muscles safely
Increase your joint flexibility
As you get healthier with more movement, you'll make better eating choices with the book's 14-day menu suggestions. You'll also get plenty of inspiration for sticking with the program and staying positive. Being more active doesn't have to be difficult, time-consuming, or expensive. All it takes is the desire and support you need to Move Yourself.

This book, along with a step counter, is the most
fabulous birthday gift you can give for sedentary
friends and relatives. The book tells you why you
better get moving OR ELSE and then shows you all the
fun ways of becoming physically active. I really
liked the way the program eases you into motion and
into higher gears.

I'm an active guy and I found great tips here on how to hone my exercise program. But for sedentary people, this is powerful jumpstart information that will get them moving in a fun way that incorporates activity in their daily life. I'm getting the book as birthday gifts for my slacker friends.

I consider myself fairly active and reasonably smart when it comes to nutrition - however, after reading this book, I was surprised and improves memory, energy, digestion - and most importantly (at least to me!), improves quality of life.
This book is motivating, practical and incredibly easy to read.
