ANDREW OYE’S “THE ONE-MINUTE WORKOUT: REAL DEAL FITNESS & NUTRITION”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

===========================================

THE ONE-MINUTE WORKOUT: Real Deal Fitness and Nutrition
by Andrew Oye, C.P.T. & Robert Dothard, C.P.T.

THE ONE-MINUTE WORKOUT: Real Deal Fitness and Nutrition (Hilton Publishing; September 30, 2008; $19.95) is a results oriented health and fitness guide that combines a basic, yet effective, training and eating program that will change the body and health habits of its reader.  The exercise component is a simple plan based on a one-minute principle: train each major muscle group with one minute of resistance exercise using moderate resistance split by one-minute aerobic intervals. This unique and innovative approach to exercise offers optimal results for those with limited time.  

In addition, fitness coaches Robert Dothard and Andrew Oye incorporate the R.E.A.L. concept (Rest, Exercise, Appetite and Lifestyle) to help readers develop healthy eating and living habits.  The result is a well-balanced approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  

Conveniently designed, this essential manual can be used while on the treadmill, working out at the gym, or while engaging in exercises at home. The One-Minute Workout offers three books in one: a nutrition guide, a training guide, and the One-Minute Workout program. These tools work together to help launch and manage an exercise routine, eating plan, and lifestyle habits. With this quick and easy reference guide, Oye and Dothard inform, inspire, and coach readers to reach their goals.

In our fast paced society, where we have to cram so much into our days, THE ONE-MINUTE WORKOUT is a must-have for anyone who wants to get serious about his or her health but may not have a lot of time to do so.  Dothard and Oye remind readers that “like life, true health and fitness is a journey and not a destination.  As you take the journey, you may arrive at good health, but to stay there, you must keep at it…We all have work to do to reach our full potential in all areas of our lives…The best we can do is strive each day to be a little better, happier and healthier than we were the day before”.
