Scuba Diving Fitness: The Fit And Healthy Diver Manifesto: The Ugly Truth of Fitness in Scuba Diving (Volume 1)
What? No exercises or diets in this book?Boo! How am I going to get fit?Allow me to be honest. There are many books out there with excellent fitness programs for divers. Some of my works address that specific area and you are more than welcome to check them out. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say you have been searching for the ideal exercise and nutrition program for quite some time, otherwise you would not be reading this. Question is, with so many excellent programs available,why is it that you have not had permanent success? Why is it that program after program are not giving you the results for all your efforts?Any diver can be fit and healthy and any program can help you get there, yet the success rate is dismal at best. My experience spanning two decades in the field shows me that no matter how meticulous or well designed a program or system may be, it becomes a frustrating empty promise in the hands of those not ready for the task.And that, my fellow diver, is what I address in this book.If you have been trying to get fit without results, it is time to find out whether the system you are following is the problem, or you are the problem, or if it's a combination of both. If you are taking your first steps into fitness, this is what you should know to prevent inflated delusions and wrenching heartbreaks.This book is dedicated to the divers who had enough with being unfit and frustrated with their fitness efforts. It is time to get your head in the right place before you undertake another program and ensure you no longer stumble in the same roadblocks.Will this message help?I can say with confidence, yes, it will! I love witnessing those who earn their health and fitness freedom by facing the hard truth and discover they were their own saboteurs.Will it offend?Without a doubt! It has created harsh reactions in the past and it will continue doing so. My experience has shown me those who dismiss it as angry drivel seem to forget it is called a "manifesto" for a specific reason. They are more preoccupied with looking for non-existing shortcuts rather than having to face the arduous task of thinking on their own.That's fine, only a small number is ready for this message and the responsibility it demands. Then again, it is only very few who enjoy great health and lasting results.Make no mistake! I did not write this with the purpose of painting purple flowers and bright kittens. The purpose is to separate those who are ready to change their lives and health from those who chose to drown in denial. Going straight to exercise or diet programs without recognizing the factors outlined in the manifesto is a sure recipe for failure and the major weakness of the current exercise and fitness models. I am not holding back when I present them in their guttural truth. Being fit involves a lot more than exercise and diet, and it is my belief that divers should be among the fittest people on the planet.I wish you a productive and satisfying health and fitness journey.
