About this title

Synopsis

Uncommon guidance for those who fall short of their diet and exercise goals

Although there's no shortage of books that offer advice about getting in shape, there are none that address the real hidden blocks that will often prevent your success. When Working Out Isn't Working Out is a cutting-edge fitness guide, geared to supply the clues you need to reveal and move past UFOs (Unidentified Fitness Obstacles). By providing a wealth of little-known facts and self-diagnostic tests, this book helps you find the missing links in your quest to be optimally fit, including:

-How family and cultural influences can affect how you view getting fit
-How food and chemical allergies limit your energy, weight loss, and strength
-How common disorders (SAD, ADD, depression) can often be UFOs
-How you emotional history can be a barrier to improved health
-How diet and exercise fallacies can help you from reaching your goals. . .

. . .And much, much more!
