Praise for Move Yourself

"Move Yourself is a timely and user-friendly guide to better health. I could go on, but it's time for me to get up and get moving!"
--Tom Brokaw

"The science is clear: staying healthy means moving our bodies more, choosing more of the right foods in the proper portions, and avoiding unsafe behaviors like smoking. In Move Yourself, you'll find the kind of sound advice and strong motivation you'd expect from an expert personal coach."
--Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S., 17th Surgeon General of the United States and Vice Chairman of Canyon Ranch

"Being fit has always been important in my career, both as a martial artist and as an actor. But what I learned long ago is that a physically active lifestyle also improves every aspect of living. The good news is that you don't have to train like an athlete to receive these tremendous benefits; you just have to make it a priority. In Move Yourself, Drs. Mitchell and Church explain just how easy it can be. With just a little commitment and a little know-how, you too can make yourself feel like a champ!"
--Chuck Norris

"As a former couch potato, I can attest to the incredible health benefits that come from physical activity. Move Yourself shows that you don't have to become a gym rat--here's everything you need to get moving at your own reasonable pace."
--Jack Challem, author of Stop Prediabetes Now and The Food-Mood Solution

great book that has one making little effort for big results

Wonderful book. Very sound, with current health information and then a step by step way to get healthier. The beauty is that it is user friendly and gives one both a reason to get healthier and a way to do it that isn't overwhelming. This book is very psychologically sound.....many of us resist action when the changes we have to make seem too difficult. The authors seem to know what we can comfortably do to make life changes and give us a way to do it and see results quickly (another thing we need to do fast!!!) The menus are easy to do for busy people!!

Happy in Motion

"Move Yourself" is a book that motivates you to do just that. Get up and move it! This is a friendly and very motivating book which allows you to feel positive about any level of exercise you're involved in.I have read so many books which made me feel that you MUST go for the marathon and if you didn't, well, you were just wasting your time. Let's face it, we're not all cut out to be marathon runners.
This book not only contains valuable health information in relation to exercise, but also has some great tips which can be used as you go about your daily life. By using a variety of these small and fun activities you can make a big difference in your mental and physical health, as well as, your overall well-being. When I exercise, I feel like the authors are cheering for me!

An easy & practical way to bet back on track to good health with no effort!!

This book, along with a step counter, is the most
fabulous birthday gift you can give for sedentary
friends and relatives. The book tells you why you
better get moving OR ELSE and then shows you all the
fun ways of becoming physically active. I really
liked the way the program eases you into motion and
into higher gears.

Move Yourself got me moving!!

I found this book to be an easy read and very inspiring. I was motivated to get off my butt and start moving. It explains that we don't have to set records, just walk and be active for a few minutes every day. Well done!!

Five Stars for this book that every couch potato should get !

I'm an active guy and I found great tips here on how to hone my exercise program. But for sedentary people, this is powerful jumpstart information that will get them moving in a fun way that incorporates activity in their daily life. I'm getting the book as birthday gifts for my slacker friends.
