I first realized that I was a bit on the heavy side when I tipped the scales at 200lbs. At 5ft 9inches, I was certainly overweight. My height did help a little with the evenness of my weight distribution but I was still chunky in all the wrong places. A little too much junk in the trunk and love on the side. I finally decided that enough was enough and I changed my eating habits but changing my diet was not enough. I needed to do something to burn the calories so I started working out on my own. The trouble was, I felt the areas that I needed to work on the most to get my body the way I wanted were not getting the exercise they need.Any time you start a workout program you need to set some goals for yourself. Secondly don't try to do it on your own. Like the tips Stephen provides on consulting a fitness instructor. The best thing is for you to start your plan with consulting a professional, then continue on your own when you are confident that you have a good grip on things. Stephen paved a road for you to follow by taking your from the starting point of consulting an instructor to seeking support. He outlines a healthy approach to achieving the body you dream of. You learn how to maximize your fitness program and your diet. I like the fact that he focused on your mental well-being as well as physical.What you put into your body will certainly manifest itself in your physical form. This book was a very positive guide to getting into a healthy and it is in keeping with the new definition of health these days. You will save yourself a lot of money and disappointment by reading this book and following the advice it contains. As Stephen points out we need to exercise. As we get older we tend to ignore how important exercise is for our health. We forgot how exhilarating it was to climb trees, swing from branches and run till our little feet could not take us any further. Play is a form of exercise for children that helps keep their energy up. But as adults we lose that desire exert ourselves. As a result we pack on the pounds and then have that epic moment when the scale reads a number that is as high as your monthly bills.If you are already on a program that is working for you but you want to get the most out of it then this is the book for you to read. Stephen dismisses the idea of fad diets immediately in the beginning so you don't try purging yourself and following his advice. The advice is very useful, easy to follow and fun.
