Customer Reviews: Do you have serious fitness goals, AND obstacles to overcome in reaching them? Here's the answer: The Real Sexy, Smart, and StroSeptember 11, 2009 LaSara Firefox(Northern California) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
David Patchcell-Evans's new book, The Real Sexy, Smart, and Strong,
is another one of those messages that the universe delivered to me
right on time. As someone who experiences stress- and depression-induced chronic pain when I'm down (in my case a side-order to living with bipolar disorder), "Patch's" message of successes in fitness against the odds really had an impact on me.
His personal story is also not just engaging, but emotionally affecting. A person who lives with chronic pain himself, I believe him when he says that it's possible to live a physically, spiritually, mentally engaged life even when you feel like you can't move a muscle. Seriously.
Patch's daughter was diagnosed with a severe form of autism at an early age. In The Real Sexy, Smart, and Strong, Patch explains how his experience in overcoming debilitating pain helped him to support his daughter achieve a life that is way beyond the prognosis and predictions made for her upon diagnosis.
In The Real Sexy, Smart, and Strong, Patch offers his story as inspiration, but more importantly he offers seriously helpful instruction in getting your land-legs under you! Working from where ever you are this book is bound to help you set and achieve your own health and fitness goals.
Another notable thing about Patch is his amazing generosity. Not a percentage, but all the proceeds from the sale of Patch's book are going to research on autism.
I've only had the pleasure of reading the advance chapters so far. Once the book is available for review I'll be sure to give a more complete picture of what Patch has to offer. I'm not sure when his buying incentive program ends, but if you order early enough you get tons of extra, complimentary items - for free. It's good stuff. I got a sneak peek!
For now, let his writing speak for itself. Enjoy the excerpt below or buy now!
EXCERPT:
Now that you've got the big picture, here's a bigger one.
When people first start an exercise regimen, they often judge
themselves harshly. They focus on their short-comings or on how far
they have to go, rather than congratulating themselves on showing up,
seeing the great gift they have given themselves, and acknowledging how
far they have come.
I have found that exercise has not only been a source of physical joy,
but it has provided me with moments of spiritual connection as well. I
have frequently said that your body will thank you for exercising--you
have more energy than you've ever had before and your body will feel
fantastic. Sometimes you get an even better surprise--the gift of
feeling that your mind, heart, spirit, and body are truly one. . . .
The health of your body influences what you experience in your mind.
There is no mind/body split. If you can engage your whole spirit in the
pursuit of fitness--not just your intellect, not just your emotions--but
instead everything inside you that is truly you, you'll discover what
it is to be a whole person.
Your body needs and wants exercise. Your mind needs exercise. Your
heart (the loving part of you) needs exercise. Your spirit needs
exercise. All aspects of you live within your body. All these parts of
you allow your soul to be free because when your body, mind, heart, and
spirit are in sync, you resonate with life itself. You really can
experience fitness for the soul.
Fitness made FunOctober 12, 2009 M. V. Frawley "Patch" Evans is giving us a fun and easy way to get 0ur bodies moving into shape and good health. "Just half and hour three times a week that is all it takes to become fit and healthy and stay that way". The book is helping me choose my food wisely and also to be wise in selecting my Gym. I love "Did you know" and "Do This"
because it all adds up to a great compact book helping me become a better and fit person.
Good practical advice, and easy to follow!December 28, 2009 iloveabargain(Houston, TX USA) A great book with practical advice! My suggestion: read a little bit at a time (a chapter or less), then follow the advice. If you do a little at a time, making good, positive changes in your life is completely do-able.
not worth itOctober 11, 2009 Debra Stem Jones Tiny little book with well worn anecdotes and basic information about body and exercising. A five dollar book being sold for twenty based on the name of the man writing it. Wait till you can get a used one for a buck.
It is for a worthy cause though. So just donate if you are so inclined
