'I Count(TM): 10 Simple Steps to a Healthy Life': Time and Money-Strapped Americans Find Balance, Better Health with New Book
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- There are some people
who seem to have it all: success in a career, a great outlook on life,
a sleek physique ... an all-around "glow." While it may seem that luck
is always on their side, the key to their success is a tried-and-true
model: set a goal and work to achieve it. "I Count(TM): 10 Simple Steps
to a Healthy Life" (published by iUniverse) reveals that by applying
this concept to health and fitness goals, dramatic results will be
achieved.
Authored by two former high-profile professionals, the book speaks
to career-oriented individuals through the program's STAR(TM) Process,
encouraging followers to Set, Track, Achieve and Reward daily wellness
goals. Like a successful business model, the program focuses on meeting
daily metrics, holding the reader personally accountable for making
this daily goal.
The heart of the program is walking -- a low-impact, inexpensive
exercise that can be done just about anywhere. Teeming with compelling
statistics on the power of walking, "I Count(TM)" encourages readers to
set and track goals measured in steps, achieved by walking, running,
biking or any number of exercises. In addition, the book provides
realistic, affordable tips on health topics from nutrition to finding
others to support your goals. Co-authors Susan Parks and Patricia
Bonavia share tips, tools and best practices to make the journey a
success -- without having to devote countless hours and dollars.
"Fitness can be achieved, no matter how busy and budget-constrained
you are," said Susan Parks, co-author of "I Count(TM)" and Founder/CEO
of WalkStyles, Inc. "When I started working 15-plus-hour days, I made a
commitment to myself to walk 10,000 steps each day. I made this happen
each and every day, and through this, found fitness, balance and
focus." Parks engaged her co-author Patricia Bonavia to track her steps
and the two began to compare their progress. "Even with my
responsibilities of leading a financial institution and being the
mother of two, I found setting wellness goals gave me the discipline to
do something healthy for myself each day," Bonavia said.
