I Know I Should Exercise, But...: 7 Steps to Removing Your "But" from Exercise

"Slow and steady wins the race." ~Aesop's Fables If thinking about exercise has you running away from your treadmill and hiding behind a remote control, this might be just the book to get you motivated. Not only are the chapter witty and filled with wisdom, they make sense. The author has encouraged more than 30,000 people to pursue a healthy lifestyle. He is very active himself and loves bicycling across America and mountain climbing when he is not giving classes in fitness at a world-class fitness resort. Even Oprah has taken his exercise classes. In the past thirty years, Joe Sweeney has taught gymnastics, volleyball, hand gliding, board sailing, swimming, diving, soccer, tennis, walking, water sports, weight training, stretching, yoga, Frisbee and juggling. In this book, Joe Sweeney will encourage you to: Start an exercise program that will fit into your busy life. Stay Motivated by making exercise fun Find time to exercise while you are traveling Stay active during the busy, stressful times Throughout the chapters, you can find strategies that work for you. Then you can build on your success. You will also be amused at all the excuses that sound all too familiar. "I have no time" is my favorite or how about "I'm too tired." "If you wish to remove your 'but' from exercise, you must start at a sensible pace and learn to keep to a healthy speed limit." ~J. S. Joe Sweeney is so correct when he says: "when you slow your approach to exercise, you can actually progress faster." Every single time I jump in too fast, I stop exercising rather quickly. There are some interesting and helpful ideas about walking, buying a bike, and how to not worry about your weight. Joe says when you worry about your weight, you actually take the fun out of exercise. What I loved most about this book is the section on how to incorporate exercise into your life through everyday activities. I really also enjoyed the quotes. There are so many inspirational quotes. Highly Recommended. ~The Rebecca Review

I Know I Should Exercise, But. . .is an excellent tool for everyone who has abandoned an exercise program or who has never started one. It is also valuable, even to people like me, who have exercised for decades. Joe Sweeney has brought humor and his expertise to the exercise arena in a way that motivates, inspires and educates the reader. This book is a fast, enjoyable read and should turn any reader into an exerciser.

I expected I KNOW I SHOULD EXERCISE, BUTŠ to be excellent, and it exceeded my expectations. It is a simple book, easy to read and loaded with practical information. This book really motivated me to make exercise a regular part of my life, and I have been walking everyday since I read it.

As a professional fitness instructor and certified conditioning specialist, I want to compliment Joe Sweeney on a truly unique approach to help motivate someone to begin exercising. We all know the benefits of regular exercise and yet we find any number of barriers that prevent us from beginning or continuing an exercise program. Joe uses his great sense of humor to breakdown those barriers and instill a feeling of:"I can do it!". It will probably be the least expensive, most rewarding self-improvement step you can take. Get it today!

Joe tells it like it is. His humor takes you through simple and easy to follow instructions that make you realize you CAN remove your "But" from inactivity and feel much better physically and mentally. This is NOT a quick-fix book. It is a guide to motivate and show you that there really is a simple way to improve your fitness level and get the most out of life. It's nice to see that someone really understands the need to keep it simple yet effective. This book is great for "the average Joe". It would make a great "gift for life" for your inactive loved ones regardless of age.
