A new book aims to help Baby Boomer and Generation-X professionals avoid getting weighed down by poor health and discouragement because they cant find time for exercise or make poor nutritional choices at work and home.
Part informational, part inspirational, “Back in the Saddle to Fit: 10 Steps to Reclaiming Athletic Fitness for the Busy Professional” (ISBN-13: 978-1478704218; 114 pages; Outskirts; June 12, 2013; $ 20.95 on Amazon.com) provides strategies from a 40-something marketing communications professional and certified fitness trainer for adhering to a workout plan that requires less than 4 percent of the busy professionals week.
Research shows that Americans spend almost three hours each day watching television but only about 20 minutes exercising if at all, says author Darryl Ewing. We dont have to spend all day in the gym to reclaim athletic fitness. But if we believe we cant spare 3.5 percent of our time each week investing in our long-term health, then things are out of balance.
Back in the Saddle to Fit discusses the physiological realities of the 40-something athlete and the role exercise and better nutrition play in slowing the effects of aging. To overcome statistics that show an overwhelming number of people drop out of exercise after only six months, “Back in the Saddle to Fit” focuses on mind readiness to reject thoughts of Im too old or Its too late. The book includes inspiration from past and present professional athletes like Texas Rangers executive and former catcher Jim Sundberg and Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross and professionals who integrate fitness into their daily routine, like attorney and marathon enthusiast Larry Macon and Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen.
Reclaiming athletic fitness isnt only about the gym. “Back in the Saddle to Fit” promotes eating like an adult, which means stocking a healthy desk pantry at work to stave off hunger, and using the 60/40 Proposition and a 55/25/20 carbohydrate/protein/fat ratio to make smart nutritional choices when faced with unhealthy food options. “Back in the Saddle to Fit” also includes a Six-Pack Plan for achieving lean abdominals, in part by eliminating the big three nutrition saboteurs excessive fat, salt and sugar.
Many adults of all ages never achieve a lean waist or six-pack abs not because they dont put in the work in the gym, Ewing says. Its because they unwittingly sabotage their hard work with poor food choices.
“Back in the Saddle to Fit” is written with the busy Baby Boomer and Gen-X professional in mind. Its only about 115 pages, getting readers through the book and back into the gym or on the basketball court in no time. Beyond the workout plan and nutrition chapters, the book discusses:
