When Working Out Isn't Working Out: A Mind/Body Guide to Conquering Unidentified Fitness Obstacles

"This book has solved years of frustration becuase I have been working out for years and years and for that amount of time have done nothing. Were still fat and unfit. The people who trained me were worried for the nutrition and the trainings. Have tried dozens of diets and routines for years, and nothing happened. Those were not the problems, but no one could see which one were; even by myself. This book is not about training secrets, or nutrition tips. Is about knowing yourself and identify those little things that can ruin all you are working for. I you are going nowhere, not because you cannot add more muscle, but because you cannot begin to add muscle, or when you begin to progress suddenly something happens that makes you lose it all; then, this reading is a must. There are a lot of other books out there to help you build excellent routines and nutrition programs, but this is the only one to help you with problems you cannot imagine existed. If you pay fot the gym, supplements, trainers, food and muscle mags. Why not spend some bucks to make sure everything is perfect in your trainings, nutrition and yourself? The worse thing can happen is to realize that nothing on the book were intended for you, and that are going to be good news. After a year, I am thin and muscular for the first time of my life. And all I needed were in one page of the book. Are you willing to take the risk of not reading it?"

"Wow! Finally, someone has written about the dirty little secret of dieting and fitness programs. Some people (whisper it) eat right, work out and yet....don't lose weight.

A friend of ours had the sleep apnea checked out. He was very overweight, to the point of threatening his life. He couldn't stick with any exercise program because he was horribly tired. He slept at work. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea, got a device to assist his breathing and now is awake at work and walking for exercise. We think this book saved his life.

Even very fit people sometimes plateau in their workout programs. Could it be a food allergy? Bad time of year? This book gives some important clues as to what might be holding you back. Even if your fitness and weight loss program is going fine, why not make sure you aren't being held back by one of these "UFO" or Unidentified Fitness Obstacles. Great, great book."

"I found this book to be a plethoric resource. If a corporation commissioned a team to compile all of the information found in this book, it would have to consist of at least a dozen experts working round the clock for years. Yet it's all presented in a very non-intimidating way. I found the author's style to be inclusive, considerate, and encouraging. While it's clear that he's open to many schools of thought, the guidance he provides is objective and firmly rooted in common sense. And instead of implying that there's only one right way to achieve success, he suggests many different tactics to help readers accomplish their goals. How refreshing! For anyone who lacks the motivation to diet or exercise, or who does exercise regularly, but is dissatisfied with their progress, this book is a must read!""

"As an exercise physiologist and health club manager for six years I started many people on exercise programs. About four percent actually attained their goals. Most of the time the people who stopped couldn't even say why. This book would have been invaluable to me, as it gives the real reasons so many people have such a difficult time sticking with their programs and the ways that these problems can be corrected. This book ought to be mandatory reading for all people in personal training programs as well as for people who are starting to work out. With this information the percentages will be much higher. Great book!"
