Fit Moms for Life: How to Have Endless Energy to Outplay Your Kids is a great book to read if you are trying to lose weight. This book shows the successes of 31 mothers who used this fitness and weight loss program with stellar successes (before and after pictures included). I love that this weight loss program looks at you as whole. The book talks about the five pillars of fitness: Mindset, Nutrition, Strength Training, Burst Training, and Environment. It also teaches you how to burn more fat without cardio (LOVE!) and even includes one exercise that can shrink your waistline without diet changes. They have a whole chapter where you write your goals down (both short term and long term) to keep you accountable. It is a fairly quick read, and is very interesting. You’ll often find yourself nodding as you read.

Each excercise is about a page, so you can quickly read it and do it. There is also plenty of personal experiences in this book too. I love when you find someone else who feels like you do (that’s actually why I got into blogging).
