A touching memento reproduced on the pages of SLY MOVES is a photo of Steve Reeves in full gladiator costume driving a chariot, autographed to Stallone: "To Sylvester, a man who knew what he wanted and knew how to get there and didn't compromise."In a way this is the closest thing we're probably going to get from the notoriously inarticulate Sly Stallone, and he does have some amazing stories to tell along with the tips on how to lose weight and maintain perfect muscle definition.Did you know he used to clean the lion cages at New York's Bronx Zoo?Frank Capra told Sly that ROCKY was a movie he wished he (Capra) had made!Now, that's a compliment.Elvis invited him to Graceland.Charlie Chaplin asked him to visit Switzerland!His dreams had all come true. SLY MOVES reprints the poem Muhammad Ali wrote in praise of Sly:"You fought and you worked
You're a determined guy.
Rocky is great
And we all love you, Sly."
His tips include frequent napping."I'm not suggesting you sleep the afternoons away.That will make you even groggier.Ten minutes max is usually all you need to feel energized and to restore a sense of peace."Lie on the floor with your feet above your heart, he says--resting your ankles on a chair."Just do it when the boss isn't looking," he advises tongue in cheek.As for eating, Sly opens the refrigerator door and lists all the food he sees there."2 dozen large organic eggs, a bowl of grapes, 1 small bottle of cinnamon flax seed oil, 1 jar of olives, 1 jar gourmet mustard, 1 six-pack of Diet Pepsi," etc.It's a private peek into the innermost life of a great fitness buff and superstar.I expect that this book will be a big best seller, because everyone wants to look good and few look as good as Stallone even on his worst day!
