Synopsis

Dr. Pamela Peeke's New York Times bestseller Body-for-Life for Women has helped thousands of women transform their bodies. Now, in Fit to Live, she shines light on our 21st century lifestyle, with its fake food, desk jobs, clutter, and endless stress, and asks listeners, "If your life depended on it, could you run up four flights of stairs right now? Are you Fit to Live, not only to survive, but to enjoy life?" For most people, the answer is no and they don't know it.

Combining her trademark in-your-face wit with heart-stopping reality checks, Peeke offers an active health/lifestyle assessment and helps listeners gauge just how much fat—mental, nutritional, physical, financial, environmental—to cut to become Fit to Live. After following the plan, listeners will adjust better to life's stresses; get a stronger, leaner body; enjoy greater financial security; and create a healthier living space. Help Peeke help you become Fit to Live and lead a dynamic and exciting life, both now and for the future.

Overall, this was an inspiring read. It is written in a conversational tone with many side notes and success stories from Dr Peeke's patients.
