The 7-Day Energy Surge
Jim Karas
If you have to slap the snooze button three or four times before getting out of bed, doze off during daily activities, or only perk up after your 5th cup of coffee, Jim Karas has the solution for you in only 7 short days!
Named one of the best personal trainers in the country by Allure, Karas has worked in the weight loss and fitness industry for more than two decades and speaks nationwide on the topic of optimizing energy. Through his work, he has learned that a host of common complaints-excess body weight, pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, stress, and depression-are tied to one's energy and the common behaviors that deplete it.
In THE 7-DAY ENERGY SURGE (April 14, 2009; Hardcover; $26), Karas lays out a plan that puts you on the road to achieving energy beyond their wildest dreams. He exposes the bad habits that sabotage energy, lays out the principles for increasing your energy, and offers simple strategies that are easily customizable for anyone to use anywhere, at any time.
What's more energy-positive habits also translate into weight loss. Plus, by maintaining that lower weight, exercising regularly, sleeping well, breathing deeply, and keeping a positive mindset, you will not only experience a surge of energy but you will fight pain, fatigue, headaches, stress, depression, disease, and aging.
With just a few moments of planning each day, and by adopting energy-positive habits, you can possess a large bank of energy, lose weight, look great, stall the aging process, have great sex, enjoy peace of mind, and feel better than ever before.
