Genre - Healthy Living & Wellness
Publisher - Notion Press

A beautiful book for the aspiring fitness enthusiasts. Unlike the traditional one where fitness is all about looking trim and fit and especially sporting Six-Pack abs, this book differs from them which makes it unique/special.

The book discusses about the reality without beating around the bust which makes you feel instantly connected with the content. Receiving testimonials Kiran More and Pullela Gopichand is no mean fact which shows the reach of this book and the quality of the content it carries.

 

The book is divided into 4 stages

Stage 1 – Set your identity blueprint

Stage 2 – Lock-n-Load your arsenal

Stage 3 – Unlock Yourself

Stage 4 – Let’s get to brass tacks!

 

Each of these stages are further subdivided into various chapters which consists of crisp and quality content.

The book removes the misconception of the term “Fitness” which according to the present day is all about sporting a “Six-Pack abs” but the reality is different. There are quotes from famous personalities like Tony Robbins, Frank Zane, Napoleon Hill, Henry Ward Beecher, Dr Maxwell Maltz, Vince Lombardi, Aimee Mullins, Mark Twain among others which gives you a detailed account that is related to the subject.

The three of pillars is something you wouldn’t want to miss:

Pillar 1 – The Pillar of Vitality

Pillar 2 – The Pillar of Eating Right and

Pillar 3 – The Pillar of Rest

The book is all about self-realization. It doesn’t preach but shows the way as to how one could lead their own fitness regime. There are some Do It Yourself (DIY) tasks which would help you to self-retrospect as to where you stand.

Loved the way some concepts were presented with pictorial graphs especially in the chapter Habits - A Reboot, The 7 Habits of Unfit People and in Some Ground rules for Habits.

The 7 bad habits:

1.       I will begin only when…

2.       I was up till late, let me sleep…

3.       I’d like to order salami-sausage medium pan-crust pizza…

4.       Can I get a light?

5.       Waiter, pour me another one, pls!

6.       Can you give me a tip or two?

7.       Munch munch

The harsh realities of smoking and being alcoholic were explained in detail which shows the dark side of these tempting habits for which millions are falling prey every year. The numbers are scary and even if this book acts as a catalyst thereby changing the habits of few, I would say that it is a grand success. If one is serious enough about his/her health, I am sure that they would act upon it, sooner or later, after finished reading this book.

Th 21-Day Challenge is something one should try as they have proven to be effective in many cases. As you could see from the above that the book has covered lot of aspects regarding the health and the habits, each of them are inter-related and can lead to a healthy life.

The book also discusses famously about the 7 common excuses we make which includes:

Excuse 1 – I don’t have enough time

Excuse 2 – I can’t wake up early

Excuse 3 – I am A Foodie

Excuse 4 – This is not A good gym

Excuse 5 – I can’t afford this…

Excuse 6 – I will begin when…

Excuse 7 – I am not into fitness

Do you know what are the 5 traits of a healthy individual?

Wait… If I keep writing about all of them from the book, then there is no point in buying the book, isn’t it? Now go ahead and place an order for your copy here

You would appreciate me later 😊
