While many self-help and fitness gurus offer crash courses in weight loss and silver-bullet solutions for getting fit, Shannon Leavitt, MS, RD, does something else entirely.
She offers you the chance to get healthy-physically, spiritually, and emotionally healthy-once and for all.
A certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, registered dietitian, and health coach with more than twenty-five years of experience, Leavitt knows the only way to actually lose weight and keep it off is by getting and staying healthy. She also knows that being fit means a lot more than a number on a scale.
Drawn from Leavitt's successful programs to help clients achieve their fitness goals, this workbook-format guide to holistic health incorporates yoga, strength training, meditation, and personal reflection to help you bring every aspect of your being into harmony.
Leavitt believes cultivating a deeper awareness and practicing mindfulness are critically important to weight management and fitness-yet those aspects are often overlooked by most conventional fitness and weight-loss programs.
Empowering, enlightening, and incredibly practical, Learn to Be Lean will set you on a path to physical health and emotional and spiritual wellness for the rest of your life.
