8 Minutes in the Morning

Jorge Cruise represents a new wave of personal trainers who don't simply put their clients through their paces at the gym, but rather act as coach, nutritionist, therapist, and cheerleader. In his best-selling 8 MINUTES IN THE MORNING, Cruise outlines a simple weight-loss and metabolism-boosting plan that requires no cardio, just easy strength-training moves, supplemented by warm-ups and stretches, that can be done at home in about eight minutes. Cruise has also designed an eating plan that includes lean protein and vegetables but is not strictly low-carb. Most importantly, Cruise encourages readers to make peace with themselves and their weight issues. He suggests specific journaling and self-inquiry exercises that foster a sense of well- being, positivity, and self-love, and he features inspiring personal stories and before-and-after photographs of his clients. Notably, the clients are not super-models, stunning beauties, or excessively slender people, just everyday folks who wanted to get healthier and happier. This emphasis on health and inner serenity is a refreshing change from many popular fitness programs that promise unattainable physical perfection.
