Cooper Clinic Director Says MOVE YOURSELF
New Book by Dr. Tedd Mitchell Includes Three Activity Plans
for the 75% of Americans Who Don't Exercise
DALLAS — To help inspire the estimated 75 percent of sedentary Americans to get off the couch and get moving comes the new book MOVE YOURSELF: The Cooper Clinic Medical Director's Guide to All the Healing Benefits of Exercise (Even a Little!) by Tedd Mitchell, M.D., Tim Church, M.D., Ph.D., and Martin Zucker (Wiley/March 26).
Based on cutting-edge research and results from 85,000 patients at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, the world-renowned preventive medical center, MOVE YOURSELF reveals the amazing life-changing benefits of physical activity, even in low doses. The book shows readers how just a few minutes of activity each day, much less than is generally recommended, immediately generates major health and quality-of-life improvements.
The authors argue that readers do not need to join a gym-all they need to do is follow one of three simple physical activity plans in the book, based on their own level of activity from sedentary to moderately active. MOVE YOURSELF is customized with special cardio, nutrition, and weight-resistance advice for each type. In 30 days, readers will experience many healing benefits and improvements in their appearance, mood, levels of stress, memory, energy, and sex life.

"Being fit has always been important in my career, both as a martial artist and as an actor. But what I learned long ago is that a physically active lifestyle also improves every aspect of living. The good news is that you don't have to train like an athlete to receive these tremendous benefits; you just have to make it a priority. In Move Yourself, Drs. Mitchell and Church explain just how easy it can be. With just a little commitment and a little know-how, you too can make yourself feel like a champ!" – Chuck Norris
