Sly Moves My Proven Program to Lose Weight Build Strength Gain Will Power and Live your Dream
Are you ready to be a contender? Sylvester Stallone’s action–oriented program for getting fit and eating right is also a revealing portrait of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Sly Moves is more than just a handbook on fitness and nutrition. It’s a provocative and candid inside look at the trials and triumphs of one of Hollywood’s most famous stars. Throughout his career, Sly has always been body conscious, and as he experimented with intense training methods for various films, he has learned – often the hard way – what works and what definitely doesn’t. His goal here is to help readers change harmful fitness habits, learn to counter reckless eating, and appreciate who they are even when they don’t feel much like action heroes.
Part 1 is a history of Sylvester Stallone’s physique, as the Rocky star shares stories about his being bullied as a child, finding comfort and strength at the gym, and then later, the wild ride of fad diets, crash–training regimens and workout disasters that fringed on obsession.
Part 2, The Sly Moves workout, outlines four exercise programs: classic, advanced, women’s and hardcore. The workouts only require a commitment of about three hours a week (exactly the same amount of time Sly works out).
The Sly Moves eating plan (Part 3) is Sly’s nutrition guide, highlighted by a unique meal plan for a lifetime of good eating.
Part 4 gives Sly an opportunity to inspire and encourage readers to make Sly Moves part of a long–term picture of health, fitness and wellbeing, with tips on everything from keeping goals and relaxation techniques to lessons learned from The Contender.
User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Sly is on GROWTH HORMONE, this book is a lie
OK. Everyone knows that Stallone got busted for having Growth Hormone on him recently. He didnt get his body because he did the things in this book, he got them by juicing up!! Sly is just a cheater, doing the easy thing and juicing up instead of working out. This book is lame, because Sly is a cheater and a liar.
5 Stars He knows what he’s talking about.
This billion-dollar diet book industry is a sham. Mr. Stallone’s book speaks the truth. You don’t need to count points, or cut out ice-cream, or only eat meat. Who among us really wants to do any of that? Who here really wants to never eat pizza again? And in this book, he shows you you don’t have to adhere to these silly diet notions. For that matter, no one really wants to be on a diet. You just have to eat sensibly (aka no pint of Ben & Jerry’s every day) and you have to exercise. It’s a shame more of the big media (like Oprah) decided not to help promote this line of thinking!
5 Stars Definitely not your usual fitness book!
I enjoy this book very much. Mr. Stallone gives the reader a good look into his life that most people are unaware of, he’s an interesting guy. He talks about what was going through his mind as he prepared physically for each of his Rocky & Rambo movies, and also a few of his other movies.
The book was written before these last two Rocky & Rambo movies, so there’s no behind the scenes stuff on those…I have a feeling that all the reminiscing done for this book may be what lit the fire to do these two latest movies.
The final two thirds of the book walk you through his simple & informative fitness formula that anyone can use in their routine…from a fitness novice, to a “set in their ways” diehard fitness expert.
It’s easy to read, informative & often humorous, cuts through the BS & gets to the facts. I would recommend this book for anybody.
5 Stars Better than I thought.
The book is great!It gives some great but short insight into his personal life aswell as his films.I think he definitely needs to write a full biography.The workouts are great!
5 Stars Age is just a number!!!
This book is typical of the life Sly Stallone…he lives the attitude of never say die, everyone is an individual, you alone are responsible for your life. His philosophy in a nutshell is don’t try to fit in, try to stand out. Don’t compare yourself with anyone. Don’t listen to anyone else’s idea on what you should be and do. Go for it!! There is no restrictions, rules and limitations…if your heart is in the right place and you remain focused you can accomplish anything you desire. Very inspiring and motivational!!
