The Couch Potatoes Guide to Getting Fit


Book Description

What if I told you that it was possible to lose body fat without dietary or caloric restrictions? What if I told you it was also possible to increase muscle mass and strength without physically moving? Scientific studies over the past decade prove, you can in fact, lose body fat and gain muscle mass using just the power of your "thoughts." Results that are comparable to actual physical exercise, and in some cases, exceed the positive effects of traditional physical exercise. How is that possible? Brain imaging scans show that thought exercise activates the same portions of the brain as physical exercise. In other words, your brain does not know the difference between thought exercise and physical exercise. This book presents the latest in cognitive research in a concise and humorous way. Get ready for the Couch Potato revolution!
