Review of Move Yourself: The Cooper Clinic Medical Director's Guide to All the Healing Benefits of Exercise (Even a Little!) (Hardcover)

I consider myself fairly active and reasonably smart when it comes to nutrition - however, after reading this book, I was surprised by how much I still had to learn. If you weren't actively exercising and eating healthy before, this book will definitely convince you that it is in your own best interest to start doing so immediately!

The authors use their research to describe the undeniable benefits of fitness, even at the most basic levels and offer lots of simple tips for becoming more fit.This book isn't about training for a marathon; it is about incorporating even the smallest amounts of exercise into your life on a daily basis.One of the easiest things I did was to buy a very inexpensive pedometer and see how "sedentary" I actually was...Honestly, my results were shocking.I want to be a healthy example to my children and this book gives me the tools to do just that.

The book concludes with some nutrition information and sample menus.I can't believe how much more energy I have and how much better I feel following some of the authors' simple guidelines.

The focus is on fitness.And according to the authors and their extensive research, being fit helps prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, depression - and improves memory, energy, digestion - and most importantly (at least to me!), improves quality of life.

This book is motivating, practical and incredibly easy to read.
