Product Description

How Fit is Your Lifestyle? To lose weight, you may hire a Registered Dietitian to design a healthy eating program. To get in shape, you may hire a Certified Personal Trainer to design a fitness program. True fitness however, is fitness from the inside out. That means that not only do you look better, but ALL aspects of your life are fit, healthy and whole. What about your emotions? Your stress level? Your relationships? Your spiritual needs? Unfortunately, when it comes to these aspects of health and wellness, we may either overlook them, or merely look for tips and suggestions. While advice in these categories can be extremely valuable, it's not enough if we want to look, feel and live our best.

Customer Reviews

A great book for stay-at-home moms who want to feel better about themselves, i.e., about how they look and what they accomplish

I loved this book. It was outlined extremely well. And it covered what the titled told me it was going to cover: A Lifestyle Fitness Program. I enjoyed the writing style. And I agreed 100% with the content included in the book. There were basically six chapters with numerous subchapters as follows:

1. Nutritional fitness program (16)
2. Stress control fitness program (7)
3. Physical fitness program (9)
4. Emotional fitness program (7)
5. Relationship fitness program (9)
6. Spiritual fitness program (6)

I'm not a religious person, so Chapter 6 did not have much for me. But back in high school I balanced the material covered in chapters 1 though 5 as I graduated from school at the end of grade 11 and road my bike to a national cycling championship. In this book the author has condensed my old lifestyle and given it a slant for moms instead of high school athletes. Great job!

The author is trained to be expert on the material she covered in chapters 1 and 3. And she has done a good job of supplementing that material with information about stress control, emotional balance, relationships, and beliefs. I thought the book could have been a little better if it had not been so weighted to nutritional information. That subject had 16 subchapters and all the other chapters only had about half that amount of subchapters.

As I read this book I couldn't help remembering the material Anthony Robbins covered in a book I read once quite some time ago. He talked about how people need to find a balance in their career, emotions, family, financial, physical, and beliefs. For me he seemed to cover more of the bases with his six topics as opposed to the six topics covered in the instant book.

I think the book could have been better if there had been chapters on career and financial, too. As I say above, I can relate to the material covered in the book back when I was in high school. That was a time when I wasn't worrying about a career or finances. I was being "kept" by my parents. But the target audience of this book is moms, i.e., adult women. And I don't think the book covers all the issues that these women have to balance to be successful at nutrition, workouts, and stress control. A career (or lack of one) and finances will play a significant role in whether woman can successfully use the material in this book. And the inclusion of two more chapters on these subjects (career and finances) would probably be advised. 5 stars!

A fitness book that I liked and continue to follow.

I hesitated to mention I have adapted many of the ideas in this book into my life since I am neither svelt or fit. But I am always looking for a book to coach me when I decide to make positive changes in my life.

The Lifestyle Fitness Program is that book. Debi Silber, known as "the Mojo Coach" takes the reader through easy to understand concepts that if adapted can make positive changes in the reader's health and life. Covering all aspects of healthy living, this deceptively simple book takes each concept, distills it into a three or four page chapter. There is also a website that compliments the book. What makes this so readable is the vast array of subjects touched upon... daily stress, family obligations, nutrition, exercise, relationships spirituality and others and presents the reader with easy to read suggestions to evaluate the impact on the reader's own life and ways to make it work for the reader. This is written in an easy to read format and is very reader friendly and the suggestions are things that a real person can actually commit to. This is a book that will provide a great foundation and structuring for your upcoming New Year's resolutions.

Recognize the Crave and Live the Life Purposed for You
Finally, a well-written, easy to read and well-organized fitness program to support a busy mom's lifestyle. The lifestyle fitness program covers: nutrition, stress control, physical fitness, emotional well being, relationship issues, and spiritual fitness. This is a workbook meant to be used, written in, shared, highlighted, noted with paperclips, and littered with post-it notes. The anecdotes, motivational tips, and inspirational insights will encourage anyone needing to transform their life.

Sibler is an expert in nutrition, a certified personal trainer and skilled whole health coach. She has worked with busy mothers for nearly thirty years and she has combined all of her years of training both textbook and on-the-job in this total resource manual. Sibler takes the many facets of being a mother and uncovers them one issue at a time. There are several caught my attention:
* recognize and fulfill the crave
* learn the words (baked, broiled, roasted, creamy, sautéed, ) that help you know if the dish is fatty or not
* control the lapse - find out why you made a relapse, deal with it, control it and make a decision to regain control
* categorize your stress, manage the issue, delegate and let go
* modify your idea of weight loss success - its not all in the poundage
* pay it forward by sharing your successes with others

THE LIFESTYLE FITNESS PROGRAM is a unique workbook that will provide eye opening advice for the dedicated mom. This is not a guide to guilt you into making changes but a motivational tool that encourages you to make incremental modifications that you can easily incorporate into your everyday life. Oh, did I mention the free audio download and emailed emotional support...more than a book it's a personal trainer/wellness coach that you can carry with you.
