Busting Your Butt and Gut

Getting and staying in shape is neither quick nor easy. The secret to success is not about your daily calories or how often you're exercising. It's not about what gym you belong to, your age, your gender or how busy your day is. It's about a mind-set. It's about getting off your ass and feeling good about it. Marty Tuley shows everyone how to foster the habit of regular exercise. Everyone stores a large percentage of excess body weight on the stomach and hips. The Butt & Gut Programme focuses on those two areas, but it is an overall fitness regimen, not a "e;spot-reducing"e; programme. It's not magic, easy or quick. It's work, but only for 20 minutes, 6 days a week, for 120 days. It's an effective fitness programme that can fit into anyone's schedule. Marty lays out an exercise schedule built around squats for the butt, crunches and leg lifts for the gut, and running stairs for conditioning. It will improve your posture, coordination and balance, not to mention the effects on strength, power and conditioning. To keep it interesting, the book includes fifty different butt exercises and fifty different gut exercises. Marty also offers tips on how to adopt healthier eating habits. His "e;stair-step"e; approach to dieting makes it simple to incorporate better nutrition. The Butt & Gut Programme needs no weights, no dumbbells, no bench, no exercise balls, no bike and no treadmill. You can do the exercises anywhere – on the road, on vacation, in your office or in your bedroom. You need nothing for this programme but a pulse and an attitude, with Marty as your no-nonsense personal trainer.
