No Gym Required

Book excerpt: Jennifer Cohen has worked as a celebrity trainer with many film and music industry executives and artists. Her focus on using body weight instead of the latest gadgets, coupled with a clean-living diet to maximize health and strength, has created clear results. "No Gym Required" brings Cohen's years of experience to a general audience. This no-nonsense, one-stop fitness and health reference, written in the same enthusiastic style the author uses in her training, doubles as a healthy-lifestyle guide. It covers food, fitness, and motivation, with a strong message of cultivating one's positive attributes rather than trying to unrealistically emulate celebrities. Illustrated with more than 60 detailed photographs, the book provides a targeted, concentrated topic approach, focusing on back-to-basics information in four sections devoted to Smart Eating, Power Moves, Goal Setting, and Menu Planning.
