Publisher's Synopsis
Many years ago I noticed that as adulthood took over and my priorities in life changed, I began to let my body get out of shape. This led to the usual problems of weight gain, aches and pains, lost sleep, and general fatigue; the stuff we assume are normal signs of aging. Problem was, I could not accept the idea that growing older meant getting fat and unhealthy. I needed the energy and durability of youth. Life was not slowing down to accommodate me. Just the opposite!Thus began my search for proper exercise and dietary habits that, when discovered and adapted to my life, quickly became so natural that even after some thirty years, they are easy and automatic for me to maintain. I have distilled what I learned and practice into this short guide that anyone can follow. There is no dogma here, just tested ideas that work for me, and if followed and adapted, will also work for you. Growing older does not mean learning to live with pain. Life is too difficult to face with a tired, unhealthy body. You owe it to yourself and those who care about you, to take care of yourself. This guide will show you: - The exercises that are best for a healthy body - How to properly perform them - How often you should exercise - How eating right is really just about simple eating - Vitamins and supplements, save your money - The three (and only three) pieces of equipment everyone should own - Why you should exercise your eyes - And more. Functional conditioning goes a long way to help us as we take on life's challenges. Exercise should be brief but intense, not some protracted manual labor we engage in as a form of escapism. You need short, efficient and productive workouts that become investments in time that pay you back in energy and stamina. Training Your Body For Life is a commonsense approach to what's important and it should be a part of your strategy.
