Do you secretly despise working out? Having trouble sticking to a program? Millions of people try and fail to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But what if it's "exercising" that's the issue, not you?

No Sweat distills years of exercise and motivation research into a simple four-point program that will enable you to finally break the cycle of exercise failure. You'll learn why you should abandon willpower and stop gritting your teeth through workouts you despise. Instead, you'll be motivated from within and begin to crave physical activity. You'll be addicted!

We must first change our minds before we can change our bodies in order to achieve long-term fitness. Segar demonstrates how in No Sweat. She helps readers broaden their definition of exercise, find pleasure in physical activity, and discover realistic ways to fit it into their lives by translating twenty years of research on exercise and motivation into a simple four-point program. We repeat activities we enjoy, making this evidence-based system more sustainable in the long run than a rigorous workout regimen. Even if we don't sweat, we benefit greatly.

The success of the clients Segar has coached attests to the effectiveness of her program. Their stories pepper the book, entertaining and inspiring readers to finally break the cycle of exercise failure. Getting in shape has never been easier—or more enjoyable.
