Gold`s Gym Workout Journal

This comprehensive workout guide, from the world-famous gym in Venice, California, provides specific information on exercise and diet so that readers can set goals and meet them. It provides scientific muscle-to-body fat ratios, helps readers determine just how much they need to exercise to burn off body fat, and what ratio of macronutrients (fats, carbs, and protein) they need to ingest for each meal. Cathy Sassin writes that one should eat a macro-balanced meal every four hours, as this keeps the brain running with sufficient glucose to prevent tiredness, which then leads to the cycle of sugar cravings. The other half of the regime is the workout, and Sassin, a seasoned champion of endurance race competitions, is no slouch. She focuses on tailoring cardiovascular exercises and weight-lifting to specific goals, and includes pages for recording progress in exercise and diet. For those ready to commit to the dietary and lifestyle changes Sassin demands, the rewards are ample, including looking and feeling better than was thought possible. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
