How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy! Paperback – February 15, 2004

Very well illustrated and written. Anyone can read this book and get great value from it. However, I will say that I think it would have been better to have broken this up into a number of books. There is a tremendous amount of information in it, which for many practitioners is probably fine, but for the public I think it can be problematic.The author Paul Chek has largely focused on training fitness professionals like myself and other Physical Therapists, as well as sports conditioning coaches. This is one of the few public works he has put out and I'm glad he did, as I would prefer that my clients read this instead popular magazines, which I recommend they throw out. There is so much conflicting information within popular magazines and many of those articles are written by people who simply want some publicity. It can be a good marketing vehicle to write an article or give a presentation, whether the supposed "expert" knows what they are talking about or not. Just writing an article seems to make a person an "expert."Paul Chek on the other hand has spent over 20 years in practice and training industry professionals, which is a very tough crowd, given that they have a background in this area. I have a number of his courses, but I started in 2002 with one of his all day seminars. That seminar revolutionized my training philosophy and methodology. I've been a Certified Personal Trainer with a Medical Exercise/Post Rehab background since 1998 and since taking his courses for credit I have created amazing results for my clients. He has so many courses out there for professionals that he created a five level training/study program in functional exercise and a three level program in nutrition and lifestyle. He is rigorously scientific and holistic, which makes a very powerful pair capable of sure shot results that last a lifetime. He has a thorough understanding of the human body and how important individually designed programs are, instead of the "cookie-cutter" programs and diets you see plaguing the market today. For this reason, his book has assessments that you can take so that you know where you are today and then learn what's the next best step for you.I highly recommend this book for both the general public and for fitness professionals, as well as nutritionists. I would say that the public should be patient with it and spend all the time they need just practicing and developing facility with one chapter before going onto the next.

If you know who Paul Chek is, then you know that this is fundamental reading and a vital tool when exploring some of his training principles. If you don't know who this revolutionary, fitness guru is then you need to. It's a thorough book that's filled with a ton of valuable academic information but it is written in a straight forward, non-textbook sort of tone. I appreciate that. It also covers a lot of unconventional concepts associated with wellness that may not seem valid or even all that complex in the beginning. But over time I've grown to really respect this book and have incorporated a lot of it with my training clients. Another great thing is that it's also written as a workbook of sorts so it's not just theory but guided tasks, worksheets, outlines and tutorials that allow you to practice this stuff on your self AND have resources to use when working with clients. Best thing I can say about it: I've had to buy this book 3 times because friends/colleagues "borrowed" mine, loved it and never gave it back!

There’s not much more I can say that others haven't. I was first told about the book from a fitness instructor. As a former athlete, I thought I knew it all when it came to fitness and training...boy how wrong I was. For example, I used lift a lot of weights, but wouldn’t stretch unless I was about to play basketball. Even when I did, it was minimal stretching...and I wondered why I kept re-aggravating old college injuries, and why my body wouldn’t "heal" like it used to. I know better now, even though I’m still a work in progress, there have been great improvements in fitness and how good I feel every day. I also eat MUCH better, and get more quality rest going to bed by 10 (well around 10, I'm not perfect, lol)I have even given out copies of this book to both younger and older family members as well. It’s been a great benefit to me and my family, and I highly encourage EVERYONE to read this book and make the positive life changes to have a healthier, happier life.

The book is loaded with standard information to every one who wants to get fitter, stronger and healthier .i hope every one gets the discipline to live there life healthier with is book !!!!!

Este livro é muito bom, nele contém diversas informações que valem para a vida toda. Um ótimo guia de leitura pra quem busca uma vida saudável e longe de doenças cronicas e câncer. Recomendo a qualquer tipo de pessoa.

this is remarkable publication that makes a great deal of common sense, i purchased it after having committed myself to a paul chek fitness program (organised specifically for my condition by one of his trainers)great advice like: gluten will probably inflame your joints, organic red meat is not bad for you but processed food is !the only advice i didn't like was that eating roasted nuts means you are eating stale oils that probably release free radicals thus effectively making you age quicker - who needs that ?the best thing about this book, and the way that paul chek thinks, is that it allows you to chose a diet and an exercise regime that suits you holistically, in other words you do not end up with a 'one size fits all' solution - you create one that specifically tailored to your needs
