Feeling Good For Life manages to explain the most current research on the connection between mood and exercise--but without being over the head of a casual reader interested in getting in shape and putting some new focus into the daily routine. Mr. Salazar's passion for the subject is evident...and judging by the illustrations of his exercise techniques that accompany the step-by-step planner, he practices what he preaches! An upbeat and practical first effort.

Feeling Good For Life by psychologist and certified personal trainer Marcos Salazar offers the reader a diet and exercise system for significantly improved health and demonstrably better muscle tone that will substantially help to overcome the darkness of depression and enjoy life to the fullest. Individual chapters address the benefits of incorporating aerobics, weight training, proper nutrition, and much more into one's life. An excellent and thoughtful guide to personal improvement, Feeling Good For Life is recommended reading for anyone seeking to improve their physical and mental well being.

I had never encountered a book before which specifically addresses the relationship between depression and exercise in a clear and fun format- anyone feeling a bit low or anyone looking to figure out exactly why they feel so great when they are exercising regularly should grab a copy of the book! I particularly found the photos in the back depicting the author performing various weight baring exercises to be an excellent template for my own training. (He's pretty damn hot too!)
