Why Is the Year of Free Fitness. I don't think that was the intent. Jan 20, Hal rated it liked it. This is my second book on health by Dr. I like his common sense and humorous take on health. His medical advice to pay attention to health matters we can control, or somewhat, is on the mark.
I, like so many, do not pay as much attention to the healthy things I can do to live a fuller and prolonged life. The recommendations do not seem all that difficult but they do require discipline and focus and the pay off definitely of great benefit.

The first sixty-seven pages go over the basics of anatomy and physiology to get you acquainted with your body and how it works. If you know about the stress response and pain and diabetes, it might be possible for you to skip this first part of the book. It gives the information in a paragraph or two of text followed by a series of essential points that are accompanied by a fun illustration. In the chapters themselves, there are seven of them as you might have assumed from the title.
Each of them is split further into seven reasons for doing what it suggests. Among them might be anecdotes and stories about his time helping people because of his profession or full case studies done by research hospitals or schools. Ultimately, you are the one in control and the one who chooses a healthy meal over a brownie or a walk in the park over a pack a day cigarette habit.
I mostly got this book for advice in terms of weight-loss but you can use it for smoking cessation or other types of addiction. Roizen from talking about the scientific names and designations of hormones and other things in body chemistry. The book gives solutions and supports the solutions mentioned with evidence.

For those who hate the cutesy pictures in this book and in the YOU series written with Dr. Oz, I strongly recommend Dr. These are scientifically written and contain only information that has been verified by five or more meta-studies, including long-term, epidemiological studies and controlled lab tests, always double-blind and peer-reviewed.
This Is Your Do-Over, like the YOU books, certainly counts as one of the cutesy ones written to entertain a nonscientific audience, whereas the Real Age books are aimed at intelligent readers who hope to increase their lifespan while living in top form.
I once saw Dr. Roizen interviewed about why he and Oz had written the YOU series and he said, without seeming to want to flatter women, that the YOU books were a "dumbed-down" series aimed at men, who, overall, have less interest in the minute scientific details of weight loss and health. In a culture that devalues overweight women, it makes sense that women would read enough books and articles on weight loss to become highly literate in the science of health.
All that said, I have to rate this book highly in spite of the cutesiness because Dr. Roizen has proven his trustworthiness in the Real Age books and there is new information here that is so helpful it outweighs the silly pictures. Highly recommended. Aug 04, Beth rated it liked it. This book contains a lot of common sense stuff around eating, exercising and managing stress. Good reminders, but nothing ground-breaking. Specifically worth highlighting, IMHO, "It is very, very easy to out-eat your activity, because in the grand equation between how much you burn and how much you eat, the average person will never be able to out-burn a bad diet.
Aug 21, Kerry rated it liked it Shelves: health. I am sorry to say, but I really didn't gain much from reading this book. I gave it a 3 stars because that is probably because I've read a ton of health books so maybe this is just better if you're just starting to care about your physical body. I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love. Then again, I never thought I'd be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career.
And all of it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McCrory. I am broke. I am disgraced. I am alone. I am a sucker. But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood. Lisa Frank never made me so mad before. Just when I needed a rescue, I got one -- in the form of help from my biggest rival. He can't bring back my money. He certainly can't bring back my reputation or my pride.
But there's one thing he can bring back to me. A sense of hope. Maybe even love. Ian sees something in me no one else does, and he's relentless about making me see it, too. As we grow closer, I'm starting to see that while my entire life used to be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present -- and it's a truth I like very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.
But I have to be careful. I can't be too -- That's right. And ends with a surprisingly cheesy happily ever after.
Of course it did. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Until it was too late. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day.
The perfect job! Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. They arrange other soft, round-ish objects. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.
