Moms feel overworked and under appreciated. Fit Moms For Life acknowledges the challenges and struggles moms face in getting in shape, but provides a road map that is very doable because of the short workouts and eating plan that is designed for moms on the go.

About the Book
Fit Moms for Life: How to Have Endless Energy to Outplay your Kids chronicles the successes of 31 mothers who used Dustin Maher’s fitness and weight loss program with stellar successes. Armed with personal stories with before and after photos, Dustin takes the reader through the five pillars of fitness: Mindset, Nutrition, Strength Training, Burst Training, and Environment. Ultimately leading to the end goal: Staying Fit for Life.

Fit Moms for Life is perfect for Mothers (and women in general) who want a fitness program that works. Dustin Maher says:

Traditional Cardio Doesn’t Lose Fat
You Can’t Work Out to Compensate for Poor Eating
See Results 9 Times Faster With Burst Training
Learn ONE Exercise That Shrinks a Waistline WITHOUT diet changes
Burn Fat While You Sleep
A Healthy Environment Equals A More Fit Family

Each chapter contains 3-4 stories of moms who have already conquered their weight loss battles and share their wisdom and advice to the moms reading Fit Moms For Life. Their stunning before and after pictures are a reminder of what is possible. The workout plan is anti-cardio based. The author believes that long distance cardio goes against the goals of weight loss, therefore it is not prescribed at all.

Dustin has helped more than 5,000 women get into shape and owns one of the largest bootcamp programs in the country and has sold over 10,000 DVDs without any paid advertising. Dustin has been seen on TV nearly 100 times and is a regular guest on public radio. He has also appeared on the cover of magazines and been featured in many other magazines and newspapers throughout the country.

Dustin’s close relationship with his mom has driven him to create the best programs to transform the lives of moms all over the world.

Fit Mom For Life groups are sprouting up all over the place and the goal is to have over 14,000 of them, one for every McDonalds in America.

My Thoughts

If you are like most moms in the United States, being overweight or eating unhealthy is what you are used to. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of diet/exercise books that promise to help take off a few pounds or to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. So what makes this book different?

As the title implies, this book is all about an approach which will work for LIFE. Don’t expect to lose all your weight in a week, and be realistic about the changes that you AND your family will need to make. Those that follow Dustin Maher’s program have achieved impressive, amazing and LONG LASTING results.

In his approach, there are five pillars to physical fitness, which are explained in depth throughout the book. He also gives some specific workout as well as suggested meal plans. And there are over 30 individual stories of women who have successfully used his program to dramatically improve their physical condition/appearance.

Losing weight is not a miracle or some type of magic trick – it requires work and effort. But if you are ready to make the commitment, then this book is great how-to guide. The women featured in the book inspire you to “go for your goals” and will encourage moms all over the nation to get up and get moving again!For those who want more in-depth, how to programs, Dustin also offers a variety of DVD programs. This book is a great start but if you want more, you will be able to find the resources here. With the purchase of the book, there are some online bonus material available as well.

The thing that impressed me the most about this author and his book, is that he has a goal of developing local communities and support groups. It is so important to have support groups or like minded women to support and hold you accountable if you truly are looking to get fit for life. I would love to start one up, or even find a friend/family member who would support my goals.

I would highly recommend this book to moms of all ages, and look ahead in the future to community programs that will encourage you to be fit for life.
