Get in Shape Before It's Too Late

by Stu Segal, Stephen H Segal (Illustrator), Karen Hohe (Editor)

So you know you ought to be taking care of your body better than you have been — but that’s a scary thought. Right? It feels like you’ve waited too long, like you’ll never be able to overcome the obstacles that have kept you from staying fit up until now. Well, here’s some great news for No matter what state your body is in today, it is absolutely not too late to improve it. Meet Matthew, who chose at 24 to change his 270-pound weight. Meet Michelle, who chose at 38 to start taking care of herself as well as she took care of her children. And meet Marty, who chose in his 50s to begin doing the things every day that would keep his weakening knees and back strong enough to lead a happy, pain-free life. They’re all regular people who let their bodies get out of shape. And then they decided to take care of it. Learn how thirteen regular people transformed their bodies and their lives. Because it’s never too late. For them — or for you.

You can find him annually at the World Science Fiction Convention, the Westminster Kennel Club Show, rock concerts, motorcycle events, on the internet, and sometimes in the French Quarter. Wherever he is, you can find him every morning in the gym.

Stu's early years were spent in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He went into banking as a coin wrapping clerk, and concluded a banking career 24 years later as vice president of a global bank, and on the Board of Directors of the New York Cash Exchange.

In 2011 Stu began writing non-fiction, always focusing on subjects close to his heart, subjects he hopes will help others.

[Carolyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book of stories about people that made positive, lasting changes through exercise and good nutrition. The author has a nice, conversational style and it made me feel like I knew all of these people. I was very inspired!
