GEN The 10 Woman reading magazinesI have just one piece of quick advice based on a few patients I have seen in my clinic in the new year. Don’t try to achieve your 2016 fitness goal all at once! Whether you are trying to run a marathon, lose 10 pounds or anything else, take enough time to allow your body to recover after workouts. If you do too much too fast, you risk getting hurt. Then you might delay your goal, miss the race or fail altogether!

Now let’s get to the books and articles!

Book I read this week: Bulletproof: The Cookbook: Lose Up to a Pound a Day, Increase Your Energy, and End Food Cravings for Good by Dave Asprey. I am going to give the Bulletproof Diet a try. Hopefully this cookbook will help me add variety to my meals so I don’t burn out quickly. I’m really excited to see if I feel and function better. Plus if you are interested, Asprey explains the diet, cooking techniques, toxins to avoid and nutrients to obtain so that you can decide what is best for you.

 Book I’m reading next week: The Millionaire Messenger: Make a Difference and a Fortune Sharing Your Advice by Brendon Burchard. I have followed Brendon for a long time and attended several of his conferences. I’m excited to read this book about building a business around teaching people.
