Day 1:

You may or may not know why the title to this blog is Day 1.

Last night while flicking through the top free books in the Ibooks store, I came across “impress the world with your body in seven days” by David Madows. I’ve always been sceptical of these kinds of books that promise so much and usually deliver very little. Although as I’ve just started my blog up again I thought this would give me plenty to tell you about and say if it actually works.

The book is set into 7 days and each day you take a different part of staying healthy and try to make it a habit, and so at the end of the 7 days you should be doing all the right stuff to keep your body young. In day 1 all it tells you to do is to say every day for the rest of my life “I have decided that I will change my life. In a short time I will be thinner, stronger, healthier, younger looking and more attractive. I am ready to start!” and that’s it for day one. This doesn’t really fulfil me with confidence as I’m still sceptical about whether it will actually do any good.

All he gives you as a reason for why it works is his word (which I’m not really prepared to believe all that much because he’s only written this book to make money). He does go on to say research it more though. Surely to make it sound more believable he could have quoted some research that backs up his theory in the book.

He also says this is going to take time in the book so here’s the deal, if I feel better in all these ways at the end of the week I will continue with it and if not there will be a bit of a rant about how much I worked to fulfil it. This said, he does say you will feel a difference at the end of the week.

He has a list at the front of the book saying how it will change you and I just thought I would share it with you

Better balance/posture
Bowel regularity
Decreased blood pressure

As you can see this is quite a list that this book is saying it can help me achieve, let’s just see if it actually does what I says on the cover.
