Wow!!! Dr. Sobczyk has put 20 years of a physician's expertise in one easy to read book. If all my patients read her book and were able to understand what they should look for, how to accurately describe their symptoms, what to ask their doctor about and how to take care of themselves, I would have the healthiest patient population in the country.

Do you want to live longer, be healthier and happier? Do you want to lower your medical bills and insurance rates? Here it is...Dr. Sobczyk's Your Body Your Health. This book is to adult health as Dr. Spock and Dr. Brazelton are to infant healht and development.

This is a great cookbook. First, it is a pleasure to look at, with gorgeous full-color pictures for every recipe. It's easy to follow, with clear instructions and ingredient lists.

Most importantly, the recipes work. The recipe for sesame chicken with apricots and snow peas is fabulous, and there are many more that look equally wonderful.

Although this is a cookbook with healthy recipes, some of them are a bit higher in fat. The book notes that when you eat one of those, it's a good idea to balance out your diet with some lower-fat foods. In general, though, this book gives you some great ideas for eating in a healthy way without sacrificing taste and pleasure in food.

Let me start by saying that before I discovered this book, I hated to "eat nutritiously" because it was a hassle to prepare healthy meals and in addition they always tasted so bland; I would end up craving sweets to compensate. In her book, Jeanne convinced me to try a new way of eating: 6 small meals which are high in protein and include a bit of low sugar carbs and a tiny bit of fat. After just one day of eating this way, my energy soared! My sugar cravings went away, and I didn't feel hungry and want to snack all day like I used to do.
Also, I don't know what to rave about first: the fact that her menus are incredibly easy to prepare or the fact that the food is genuinely delicious! Last night I had pasta with pesto covered with broccoli and turkey sausage stirfried in olive oil. Yum! It took about 15 minutes to prepare.
Finally, she has a section in the menus called, "If you're still hungry..." which tells you what you can add to that particular meal if necessary. (Surprisingly, I haven't needed to do this - the meals satisfy me.) You won't starve on this plan and you'll be amazed at how easy it is and how good it feels to eat this way.

As any Fondette (A follower of Jane Fonda Aerobics) or fitness enthusiast will tell you, one of the hardest things is to maintain your fitness program whilst on the move. Now, thanks to Jane Fonda's Complete Workout audio tape, you can just bring your walkman where ever you go and play!
What is so great about this workout?
Jane has taken her most popular workout (to this day it is still popular) and modified it for using in different than normal places (small spaces) It comes with a poster so you can follow along. You can still burn alot of pounds with this, just like the visual verson.
A must!

The Walkout Package comes with two cassettes (which is three classes) and a booklet in which Jane gives tips on stretching, calorie burning & fat burning tips.
I've used this walkout as part of a fitness routine, and it really works!
This is excellent for those wishing to slowly get back in to a fitness regime or to condition their body ready for more aerobics to come. Or, if like many of the people I know; you can use Jane Fonda's Walkout for maintenance - you've lost weight and now want to keep fit, this is for you.

Regular Fonda exercisers will be happy to hear Joey Carbone wrote the music for walkout (he wrote music for "Low Impact Workout" and "Workout with Weights/Toning & Shaping"

What the back says: With Jane Fonda's Walkout, you are just steps away from a healthier body and mind! There's a good reason why virtually every cardiac program in America bases its program on walking. By placing less stress on the body than other aerobic activities (including running) and by allowing conditioning to take place gradually, walking is an ideal form of exercise. - not just for the overweight or out of shape person, but for the physically fit as well.

You'll learn how to warm-up, cool down and walk your way to health with this specially designed program. Jane Fonda's Walkout contains two hours of music and narration on two audio cassettes for use with portable headset players.

A special handbook details correct walking posture, what to wear and where to walk, and offers realistic fitness targets as well as diet and lifestyle pointers. Let Walkout set the pace. Why you keep pace with the Walkout program, you're promoting cardiovascular efficiency. Walking is also an excellent way to lose weight, tone your body, improve your posture, reduce stress and strengthen your muscles and joints.

All of which add up to physical health and mental well-being! Jane Fonda's Walkout is a scientific approach to America's favorite form of exercise. Using motivating music for encouragement and stimulation, it progressively challenges you with a regular regime of brisk walking for a set period of time. And, it's designed for the individual - from the slowest pace of walkout 1 (3.75 mph for 30 minutes) to the quickest strides of "Walkout 3" (4.25 mph for 60 minutes)

As an experiment, I decided to use this book for two weeks with the suggested music. To my amazement, it really works! I'm just 20 and so it is a huge novelty not to follow a tv screen.
In the book, Jane doesn't just address aerobics, but where society places people in life, the enviroment and healthy eating.
I now have this workout on DVD so really use the book as reference to healthy living.
You would have thought that it would be hard to follow a book to workout with. But it isn't. For every move there are professionally taken indepth photographs with descriptions.
You really use this book until you remember the moves off by heart. But it's use doesn't stop there as it is jam packed with so much information.
And the funny thing is it feels better working out in the absense of a television screen.

This is the best book on athletic injuries I've used. It's old, but the sound advice hasn't been improved upon. I had a chronic hamstring injury when I got the book (back in '86) and for the first time in years I was able to rehab it completely and compete pain free. I've since referred to it for advice on knees and shoulders. Most recently I had an early stress fracture only a few weeks before an important competition. Following Garrick's guidlines, I was able to recover completely before the event. Garrick understands an athlete's need to stay active and take positive action to recover from an injury and tells you exactly how to do this. He also realizes that an injury that is "cured" by rest and cessation of the activity most often returns when the activity is resumed unless active rehab has been performed.
Highly recommended. The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is it's brevity. I wish he would write a much longer and more detailed reference.

Great analysis of cause and practical approach to cure. Especially good with joint issues. Thanks Dr. Garrick, your efforts have limited my pain and time in recovery! You should be everyone's first responder to sports injury...another edition??
