Encourages a Fun, Healthy Active Lifestyle

"Slow and steady wins the race." ~Aesop's Fables

If thinking about exercise has you running away from your treadmill and hiding behind a remote control, this might be just the book to get you motivated. Not only are the chapter witty and filled with wisdom, they make sense.

The author has encouraged more than 30,000 people to pursue a healthy lifestyle. He is very active himself and loves bicycling across America and mountain climbing when he is not giving classes in fitness at a world-class fitness resort. Even Oprah has taken his exercise classes.

In the past thirty years, Joe Sweeney has taught gymnastics, volleyball, hand gliding, board sailing, swimming, diving, soccer, tennis, walking, water sports, weight training, stretching, yoga, Frisbee and juggling.

In this book, Joe Sweeney will encourage you to:

Start an exercise program that will fit into your busy life.
Stay Motivated by making exercise fun
Find time to exercise while you are traveling
Stay active during the busy, stressful times

Throughout the chapters, you can find strategies that work for you. Then you can build on your success. You will also be amused at all the excuses that sound all too familiar. "I have no time" is my favorite or how about "I'm too tired."

"If you wish to remove your 'but' from exercise, you must start at a sensible pace and learn to keep to a healthy speed limit." ~J. S.

Joe Sweeney is so correct when he says: "when you slow your approach to exercise, you can actually progress faster." Every single time I jump in too fast, I stop exercising rather quickly.

There are some interesting and helpful ideas about walking, buying a bike, and how to not worry about your weight. Joe says when you worry about your weight, you actually take the fun out of exercise.

What I loved most about this book is the section on how to incorporate exercise into your life through everyday activities. I really also enjoyed the quotes. There are so many inspirational quotes.

Highly Recommended.

Enjoyable spin on a subject many of us want to avoid.

I Know I Should Exercise, But. . .is an excellent tool for everyone who has abandoned an exercise program or who has never started one. It is also valuable, even to people like me, who have exercised for decades. Joe Sweeney has brought humor and his expertise to the exercise arena in a way that motivates, inspires and educates the reader. This book is a fast, enjoyable read and should turn any reader into an exerciser.

This is an excellent book for encouraging more exercise.

I expected I KNOW I SHOULD EXERCISE, BUT? to be excellent, and it exceeded my expectations. It is a simple book, easy to read and loaded with practical information. This book really motivated me to make exercise a regular part of my life, and I have been walking everyday since I read it.
