Sly moves : my proven program to lose weight, build strength, gain will power, and live your dream

Are you ready to be a contender? Sly’s action-oriented program for getting fit and eating right is a revealing portrait of one of Hollywood’s biggest slaves Sly Moves―part candid autobiography, part nuts-and-bolts training manual, part motivational handbook― is a refreshingly sensible guide to getting immediate results that last a lifetime. It’s also a provocative inside look at the trials of a body-conscious star rising in the most image-conscious industry in the world. The truth is, Sly’s personal battle to stay in shape has been as tough as any fight he’s waged on screen. The book begins with a very personal history of Sylvester Stallone’s famous physique, as the Rocky star shares never-before-told stories about his being bullied as a child, finding comfort and strength in the gym, and then later, the wild ride of fad diets, crash-training regimens and workout disasters that fringed on obsession. Sly knows what works and what definitely doesn’t, and these experiences formed Sly’s unique fitness and nutrition plan. Part 2 consists of Sly’s program for getting physically fit without sacrificing life’s other pleasures. All he requires is three hours a week―that’s all Sly needs―for a total body workout, an engaging regimen involving all the major muscle groups and aerobic fitness. The step by step program includes four different levels of exercise: classic, advanced, women’s, and for those who dare, The Sly Challenge, a hardcore session pushing it to the max. Sly has tried every diet imaginable and so in the Sly Moves nutrition plan he highlights a unique meal plan for a lifetime of good eating. He offers his unique perspective on what works and what doesn’t and offers an alternative for health-conscious readers who want great-tasting satisfying food that can become a way of life. In the section Gonna Fly Now inspires and encourages readers to make Sly Moves part of a long-term picture of health, fitness and well-being. This motivational section includes separate chapters on everything from setting and keeping goals to relaxation techniques to lessons learned from his reality-based boxing show The Contender.

is There A More Inspiring Song For A Workout Than The Theme From Rocky? Is There Anyone Who Could Better Embody The Ultimate Action Hero Physique Than Stallone? Of Course Not, Which Is Why This Guide To Getting Buff Hits The Nail On The Head. Tales Of The Struggling Young Actor Eating Raw Eggs In A Kitchenless New York Apartment Give Way To An Explanation Of How Stallone Got In Shape For The Rocky Movies And Rambo. His Routine Boils Down To Doing Cardiovascular Activity; Eating A Balance Of Proteins, Carbs And Fats; And Pumping A Lot Of Iron. Stallone Explains Why Diets Don't Work And Lists What's In His Refrigerator (buckwheat Waffle Mix) And Freezer (ice Cream). As A Workout Guide, The Book Isn't Perfect; It's General And, While It Does Offer A Substantial Number Of Weight-lifting Exercises, Certain Sections Are Puzzling (e.g., Stallone Says, Forget Stairmaster, It's A Waste Of Effort, Yet The Accompanying Photo Shows A Woman Poised On One Of Those Very Machines). But Stallone Wants To Make Every Reader A Winner, And He's Incessantly Empowering. Photos Of Him Doing Pushups And Bench Presses Are Inspiring, And The Book Wisely Includes A Number Of Photos Of A Female Model Doing Exercises, Too. (may) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
