BUSTING YOUR BUTT AND GUT £10.99
BUSTING YOUR BUTT AND GUT
Minimizing Your Maximum Areas
Marty Tuley

Getting and staying in shape is neither quick nor easy. The secret to success is not about your daily calories or how often you're exercising. It's not about what gym you belong to, your age, your gender or how busy your day is. It's about a mind-set. It's about getting off your ass and feeling good about it. Marty Tuley shows everyone how to foster the habit of regular exercise. Everyone stores a large percentage of excess body weight on the stomach and hips. The Butt & Gut Programme focuses on those two areas, but it is an overall fitness regimen, not a “spot-reducing” programme. It's not magic, easy or quick. It's work, but only for 20 minutes, 6 days a week, for 120 days. It's an effective fitness programme that can fit into anyone's schedule. Marty lays out an exercise schedule built around squats for the butt, crunches and leg lifts for the gut, and running stairs for conditioning. It will improve your posture, coordination and balance, not to mention the effects on strength, power and conditioning. To keep it interesting, the book includes fifty different butt exercises and fifty different gut exercises. Marty also offers tips on how to adopt healthier eating habits. His “stair-step” approach to dieting makes it simple to incorporate better nutrition. The Butt & Gut Programme needs no weights, no dumbbells, no bench, no exercise balls, no bike and no treadmill. You can do the exercises anywhere - on the road, on vacation, in your office or in your bedroom. You need nothing for this programme but a pulse and an attitude, with Marty as your no-nonsense personal trainer.

Getting Healthy and Staying Healthy-Together
Knute Keeling

One of the most important jobs parents have is to pass healthy eating and exercise habits on to their children. But parents are up against some formidable adversaries that are conspiring to keep their kids (and too often themselves) from getting the physical activity and nutritious foods their bodies need. As a result, American children (and adults!) are getting fatter and unhealthier with each passing year.

In FAMILY FUN AND FITNESS, personal trainer and father, Knute Keeling, shows parents how to flex their creative muscles and start taking control of their family's health. His approach to healthy weight and fitness, in this practical, easy-to-use guide suited to parents of young children, focuses on cultivating an early love of physical activity and wholesome, healthy foods.

Keeling's Fit Family Plan is packed with enjoyable ways to make good food and exercise a central, positive aspect of family life. The plan focuses on the formative years (from pre-conception to primary school-age kids) when the stage for optimum nutrition and fitness is being set. At each stage, Keeling tells us what foods and nutrients to promote and what to avoid, what age-appropriate activities to encourage and which to limit and what problems to expect and simple strategies to use for getting around them. For parents, in these same sections, Keeling includes nutritional advice and easy workout routines (with photos) that incorporate cardio, resistance and stretching movements to help pregnant mothers, new mums, and busy parents stay fit and best of all teach their children by their own good example.
