by Denise Austin (Author)
From Denise Austin comes the perfect health book for anyone who wants to live better but just can't seem to find the time. Much more than just another excercise book, Denise's Daily Dozen covers a whole range of health- and diet-related concepts yet manages it all in a no-stress, time-conscious program of 12's. At its core, this book contains the minimum daily requirements to keep the reader flexible, strong, and trim. Organized simply into seven chapters, following the seven days of the week, it covers a full week in daily allotments. Each day will have its own focus, from Monday being "fat burning day" to Sunday's "recharge and rejuvenate."
Denise has created a total body program, including a 7-day balanced meal plan that includes healthy recipes and a workout that encompasses 12 exercises done in 12 minutes each day. Everyone can take just 12 minutes, at whatever time of the day works for them, and turn it over to these simple and fun exercises. Cardio, toning, yoga and breathing exercises...they're all here, but in a way that maximizes effect while minimizing time.
Beyond a dozen exercises for each day of the week, this book will include many other of Denise's "dozens" for each day.
