Summary: Making the Most of Time!
Review: Time, the missing ingredient in American lifestyle is finally tackled in a brand new book combining quick, delicious, healthy recipes -- and workouts you can do in a flash. Three authors, Williamson, Sweetgall and Zak, each share their expertise in a most unique 3-point book covering: (1) Ten-Minute Meals and More (69 great
recipes.)
(2) Wonderful Walking Workouts (22 walks
for weight-loss, cardio-conditioning, stress
and brainpower.)
(3) Core-Muscle Strengthening and Stretching
(30 smart postural/toning exercises that
can be done in your car, kitchen or living
room.) The whole strategy of Ten-Minute Meals and Five-Minute Workouts is to give people quick solutions for healthier eating and exercise in a time-crunched world. The "Ten-Minute Promise" book introduction explains how fast food and sedentary living has afflicted 60 million Americans with high-blood pressure, 18 million with diabetes, and created over 100 million overweight Americans In this book, Williamson, Sweetgall and Zak clearly show how improving health takes only a few minutes a day. Workouts do not have to consume 30 minutes of precious time, nor does meal preparation have to consume an hour. Good health is only minutes away. In this combination cookbook - fitness guide, Darcy Williamson has whipped up quick-fix dishes that take 10 to 20 minutes to prepare. Her recipes are without red meat, pork or poultry. Recipes include Low-Fat Spinach Lasagna; Quick Breakfast Burritos; Enchiladas with Mozzarella Cheese and Kale; Curried Couscous Salad; Robert's Lemon Garlic Salmon, and Tofu Kung Poa. Most meals are family-sized and will serve between four and six people. There is even a section of recipes just for children. Williamson also offers tips on how to reduce preparation and cooking time, as well as a list of items for a well-stocked pantry. Robert Sweetgall advocates walking as a natural lifestyle activity, requiring no special equipment. Sweetgall offers a menu of walking workouts that fit into a busy schedule --walks to strengthen the heart, walks to lose weight, walks to reduce stress and walks to stimulate thinking. These walks include the "M&M Walk," the "One-Cent Walk," "The Let-It-Be Walk," and "The Memory Walk." Pat Zak, P.T. presents exercises that stretch, strengthen and tome muscles without stressing the body. They can be done anywhere in the home, car or office. Not only does Zak explain how to do each exercise, he also gives tips to prevent injury. "Gain Without Pain," is Zak's philosophy.
