Stephanie Oakes' Burn Off 10 Pounds a Month: The Ultimate Exercise Program for Quick (and Lasting) Weight Loss - Tapa blanda

Críticas

am a huge fan of fitness books and have begun looking for decent books on walking. Unfortunately, most of them are rather cheesy in my opinion. I really wanted a book that was not boring and would encourage me to continue (progress) my own walking program. This book is exactly what I was looking for! Stephanie Oakes is a busy mother of two as well as a fitness and health expert. Like me, she has a hectic schedule, which often leaves little time for exercise. Oakes has designed a very sound and easy to follow exercise program that anyone can do, regardless of health or time constraints. This simple four month program has many different walking routines - spread out in such a way that you are not doing the same old same old, day after day. You can even customize the program based on your fitness level - beginning routines as well as intermediate and advanced are featured here. Her ideas leave little room for excuses: there is a baby stroller workout (great for new moms who are often time crunched); Mall walks (my shopaholic daughter will like this one); treadmill walking (no more cold weather excuses); outdoor walks and more. My favorite so far is the "Now and Later" routine, where you divide your walking routine into three separate 'mini walks' of ten minutes each. The catch - you do it on a treadmill at 4mph and a 6 incline. My legs surely felt this and I burned a ton of calories. The beauty of a walking routine is that it is convenient, cheap, and easy on the joints (I have hip and knee issues). I've started this a few weeks ago and have already lost a few pounds! I only have about 5 more to lose and this will certainly assist me in my goals. --Sparkle Reed
