Are you ready to be a contender? Sly's action-oriented program for
getting fit and eating right is a revealing portrait of one of
Hollywood's biggest slaves
Sly Moves--part candid autobiography, part nuts-and-bolts training
manual, part motivational handbook-- is a refreshingly sensible guide to
getting immediate results that last a lifetime. It's also a provocative
inside look at the trials of a body-conscious star rising in the most
image-conscious industry in the world.
The truth is, Sly's personal battle to stay in shape has been as tough
as any fight he's waged on screen. The book begins with a very personal
history of Sylvester Stallone's famous physique, as the Rocky star
shares never-before-told stories about his being bullied as a child,
finding comfort and strength in the gym, and then later, the wild ride
of fad diets, crash-training regimens and workout disasters that fringed
on obsession. Sly knows what works and what definitely doesn't, and
these experiences formed Sly's unique fitness and nutrition plan. Part 2
consists of Sly's program for getting physically fit without sacrificing
life's other pleasures. All he requires is three hours a week--that's
all Sly needs--for a total body workout, an engaging regimen involving
all the major muscle groups and aerobic fitness. The step by step
program includes four different levels of exercise: classic, advanced,
women's, and for those who dare, The Sly Challenge, a hardcore session
pushing it to the max.
Sly has tried every diet imaginable and so in the Sly Moves nutrition
plan he highlights a unique meal plan for a lifetime of good eating. He
offers his unique perspective on what works and what doesn't and offers
an alternative for health-conscious readers who want great-tasting
satisfying food that can become a way of life. In the section Gonna Fly
Now inspires and encourages readers to make Sly Moves part of a
long-term picture of health, fitness and well-being. This motivational
section includes separate chapters on everything from setting and
keeping goals to relaxation techniques to lessons learned from his
reality-based boxing show The Contender.
