Customer Reviews:

Great cards!.......2006-11-22

I am very pleased with these cards - sketches, posters & scenes from movies. I will have fun sending these. And, 100! What a price for 100 cards!

Great bargain!!.......2006-08-22

This was a great set of postcards, real high quality paper stock. My intention was to use them to mail to my nephew away at school, but once my kids saw the cards, they all took some for their walls to hang. With 100 cards there is plenty to go around. My favorite is the old man from the toy story shorts...

Pixar Fans, you gotta get these!.......2006-03-12

When I bought this, I was expecting them as the description states, coiled and in a box. When they arrived, to my suprise, they are not coil bound at all, but each postcard is loose and kept inside the box. This was great, as I was planning on putting some of these in frames around the house anyways.

The price....let me tell you, they are worth it. If you work it out, thats about 17¢ each, where most generic postcards go for $1 or more. The artwork covers all the features and shorts from Pixar to date, including their upcoming feature Cars.

After showing these to my animation collegues, they agree, this is one purchase you cannot be without if you are a lover of Pixar's work.

Book Description

Dr. Maffetone's unique training system for champions proves that the kinder, gentler approach actually works the best. This fitness regimen has worked for champions and non-athletes alike- because it's based on Dr. Philip Maffetone's deep understanding of how the body works. Maffetone has used that knowledge to develop The Maffetone method, his successful low-stress fitness program, which can be tailored to any individual. It means "training slower to go faster," says Mike Pigg, world champion triathlete and Maffetone client. The Maffetone Method includes: A ten step program to reduce stress and increase overall fitness; Exercise techniques designed for increased results with decreased pain; The real lowdown on some of those fad diets. In short, this is a fitness regimen for champions that everyone can use to reach their own goals whether it be running a marathon or walking around the block.

Fantastic book.......2007-07-19

An excellent, educational read for anyone who wants to maximise performance, or just get healthy.

Hits plenty of issues often neglected.......2005-03-08

His take on fitness is unique. While I tend to dismiss chiropractors, his ideas make some sense. He also has clinical experience to support his ideas.

His overall diet ideas are sound. That advice will take you far. I'm not so convinced by the low-carb test, but its worth a try. My low-carb experiences have been less than pleasant. Probably give it a try again his way in the next few months.

His stress on aerobic stuff is questionable as well. Plenty of good evidence supports more build mass and speed approach. Before an injury limited my exercise, I was following his approach on the treadmill and it seemed to be working. But my "experiment" was cut short.

Finally, I am glad somebody has covered at least a bit on issues like stress reduction, breathing and footwear.

A lot of good.......2004-04-27

I read this book because a coworker very strongly recomended it to me. He also recomended that I try it. Initially I dropped some weight and was pretty well convinced that it worked but I held out the final acceptance until this past weekend when I ran a half marathon and came within striiking distance of a personal best.

I do not agree with all of the arguments of the book. But I have tried running at a slower rate to maintain my lower heart rate and it has worked out well for me. I suggest reading this work and implementing the parts that are right for you.

very well written, full of good information.......2003-08-13

The Maffetone method is not revolutionary and is not a break-through. Hence the title of this book may be a bit misleading. The MAF method is simply low heart-rate walking in order to burn maximal amounts of fat (instead of carbs) while exercising.
The author makes a very strong case for something that any runner knows: slow running builds fitness, is easy on the joints, and also is maximally effective in promoting weight loss. What makes the book strong is the author's ability to take the time and explain the rationale behind this method of slow aerobic burn. I appreciate mixing theory and practice and presenting his case in an intelligent and learned manner.
For those who are not exercisers and who are looking for weight loss, this is a very important book to explain the rationale and get one going.
The book is best used in conjunction with a heart rate monitor.

Interesting but..........2003-06-25

...I wonder truly about the efficacy of training at a % of 180 beats per minute.

Treat your body to a better diet.......2007-08-21

I think this book is absolutely great. It is very easy to follow the three week plan with the easy set up week by week. It is short and easy reading with great pictures. What I like is the fact that I could still join my friends for lunch or dinner and stay on the diet. After completing the three weeks, I felt great and lost weight as well.

Somewhat simplistic, good basic review.......2006-11-02

This book is smaller than expected, but still it has a lot of good common sense information in it. There is no new magical information in it.

Don't waste your money!.......2006-07-23

This book is 8" x 7" and 72 pages. If I had seen it in the bookstore and browsed through it I would NEVER have bought it. It contains many photos - so it's not even 72 pages of text - and gives advice like "eat healthy foods" and "get adequate sleep."

Energize Your Life

Author: Peter Bennett, N.D. and Stephen Barrie, N.D.
Bindu Publishing
2005
ISBN #0-9760178-0-6
www.energizeyourlife.com

"Energize Your Life" comes to us from the authors of the "7-Day Detox Miracle". Peter Bennett, N.D. is a Naturopathic Physician with a practice in British Columbia, Canada. He is a board certified acupuncturist and a homeopathic practitioner. Stephen Barrie, N.D. is an international lecturer, and founder of the Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory. The wisdom in this book comes first hand - from working hand-in-hand with their own clients.

The premise of this book is that we have the choice of living a healthier life, regardless of our past, present, or even future circumstances. This material presents a three-week plan that will change the way the reader looks, feels, and lives. The book is organized into three sections: the first section describes the problem, the second section outlines the solution, and the third section pulls everything together into an action plan.

The first section looks at three questions: "Why am I tired?", "Why am I overweight?", and "Why am I stressed?"
The second section covers simple principles about what to eat, how to move your body, and how to relax.
The third section, which comprises approximately half of the book, presents the Three-Week Plan for reaching optimum health.
Throughout this book there are numerous charts and graphics, all done in sharp, realistic colors. They act to help the reader focus, rather than detracting from the presentation...
This is an excellent beginner's book for someone truly interested in making some important lifestyle changes.

Book Review from the upcoming issue of Health Action Magazine.......2005-12-20

Energize Your Life, a new book co-written by Dr.'s Stephen Barrie N.D. and Peter Bennett N.D., discusses straightforward solutions for health and wellness. This new book includes a plan for "healthy eating (with [the aid of] sample recipes), a program of functional movement, especially walking, and relaxation tools, which together can increase energy, help to lose weight and transform stress". Dr. Bennett says that Energize Your Life is written for people who are confused by the "massive amount of conflicting advice on health in the media".

Energize Your Life is presented in three sections. The first part outlines common reasons for poor health or low energy. The second section discusses long term solutions for optimal health, and the third section lays out a three week diet and exercise program.
I found the whole book very easy to read and understand. There are ample pictures and diagrams to explain the text of the book. Dr. Bennett gives the reader a specific three week plan to follow, and includes recipes, a daily and weekly schedule, and an easy to follow exercises, including breathing and relaxation exercises. This exercise plan is fairly gentle; it includes walking and basic stretches.

This book lays out a lifelong plan to good health, and gives the reader the tools to attain optimal health and body performance. The book is intended for a person who is interested in becoming healthy and active, but is unsure how to begin or sustain this kind of lifestyle. As Dr. Bennett says, good health "takes time and has to be sustained over many years. Energize Your Life presents a program which looks at life [and health] as a marathon, not a sprint. You have to be able to settle into a pace you can sustain. It is a lifetime performance".

This review will be appearing in the winter issue of Health Action Magazine.

I am so glad to have discovered Gayle Reichler's ACTIVE WELLNESS! Not only does it offer helpful and accessible information on adopting a more healthy lifestyle, but the author's guidance is made all the more powerful by the fact that she followed the very same program herself.

TriEnergetics.......2006-03-07

The TriEnergetics Program is an absolutely necessary tool to assist in maintaining a healthy lifestyle in these days of more stress and less time for ourselves. Excellent, easy to understand steps to feeling better and looking better.

Simplicity...........2006-01-19

I've read this book, cover to cover. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this book out. I truly thought the meditation approach along with healthy eating is absolutely benificial to the mind! Especially, getting "in tune" with your body. I highly recommend this book to any one who wants to incorporate a tranquil, healthly, sound and body *plus easy to do exercises" way of life!

TriEnergetics.......2006-01-08

This book is an excellent source for a no nonsense approach to health and well-being. Incorporating body, mind, and spirit in a daily routine that is easy to apply and works!

TriEnergetics.......2005-12-31

Trienergetics brings mind, body, nutrition together in a way that makes health easy to understand. Success comes by doing the work as laid out in this book. It is a great read.
