Download or read book Scuba Diving Fitness the Fit and Healthy Diver Manifesto written by Israel Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for the best exercises for scuba divers? Or the latest nutrition program to make divers burn unwanted fat by mere invocation? You will not find them here! That is not what this book is about. Scuba Diving Fitness: The Fit and Healthy Diver Manifesto is the diver's wake up call to an ugly reality. Not only are scuba divers in terrible physical shape as a group (7 out of 10 are either overweight or obese), they also adhere to such outdated exercise guidelines and myths, the few who actually exercise see little to no results. Coach Izzy speaks from the heart. He has seen many who should have succeeded fail miserable because they chose to embrace the easy way out. He is frustrated and his tone is more stern -some may even call it harsh- than usual. But he makes no apologies and he is not afraid to speak the truth. Coach Izzy reveals how for too long mediocrity and conformism have been pampered under the guise of self-acceptance and political correctness. How for too long they have made it OK for divers to concoct excuses and accept inferior fitness. He unmasks these misguided, damaging, and over-entitled mantras without regret. Irreverent, thought provoking and sincere, Coach Izzy made this the first of the series and a must reading for participants of The Fit and Healthy Diver Project because he knows that unless divers understand this message, nothing else is possible and results will never materialize. He understands many will get motivated and many will be offended but he is only looking for those with the courage to face reality and understand change takes both effort and guidance. If you have been wondering about Scuba Diving Fitness, this manifesto addresses what others are afraid to bring up and is guaranteed to start you on the right track. Question is, can you stomach the truth?

Download or read book Deep Descent written by Kevin F. McMurray and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-07-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the danger of diving the Andrea Doria, the "Everest" of deep-sea diving, by an award-winning journalist and photographer. On a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only fifty-one of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the Andrea Doria is still taking lives. Considered the Mount Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the Andrea Doria, pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance to explore her—and not all have returned. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you inside this elite club with a hard, honest look at those who go deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than others would ever dream. Deep Descent is the riveting true story of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal risks traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling these adventures in his page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic photos, McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to which few will ever have the skills—or the courage—to go.
Download or read book Scuba Diving Fitness the Missing Component Extortion Bribes and Shysters Cannot Get You written by Israel Sanchez and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sure, you figured out your gear. Sure you figured out the decompression tables. Why should figuring out your diver fitness be any different? So yes, you figured out your diver health program. Or so you thought. You had the motivation, the resources, and the guides. Just like a good dive plan, you had your exercise and food plans perfectly laid out. Your excitement was unparalleled, and this time, you'd conquer that stubborn scale. Fast forward three months. The mettle to continue is no longer there. Going after your diver fitness dreams is no longer fun or rewarding. Despair replaces excitement, frustration usurps the place of motivation, and confusion ensues as you cannot figure out where you went wrong. And it won't be the first time. The feeling will be all too familiar as you find yourself in this spot yet again. What do you keep doing wrong? Why is no program effective? Why do results evade you? Statistics show the failure rate for health and fitness programs is 88% within the first three months and 99% within one year. The latest advances in exercise science, nutrition, and medicine have done little to improve them. Could it be that it's time to discard the madness of focusing on the latest research, and focus instead, on what really matters? Failure is rarely due to lack of effort. Very few are as willing as scuba divers to invest time and resources to work on any factors that will improve their diving. The problem is that all the hard work and efforts are not channeled properly. The good news is that by learning to direct those efforts correctly, results materialize and become permanent. And this is what this book reveals. A solid foundation is crucial for the success of any endeavor and divers know this well. Unfortunately, when it comes to health and fitness, most people have little idea of what a solid foundation is. Good intentions and plans are excellent, but useless - and occasionally harmful - if done under the misguidance of a poor foundation. The book focuses on the largely ignored but irreplaceable foundation of preparing the mindset and its role in making your goals come to fruition. Many make the mistake of seeing it only as an emotional component, and erroneously believe that it is exercise or diet what creates lasting results. This book is written to help you, the diver, build a solid foundation that will allow your health and fitness dreams to flourish. It does so by reshaping your mindset and making it receptive to new -and occasionally conflicting- concepts. It will show you how the foundation of the mindset is largely ignored because it is so evident. It will show you how tapping into the power of the mindset is not the esoteric trickery to which it has been degraded, but rather, a continuum now widely recognized by science. As a diver, you are well acquainted with the power of the mindset and will be able to apply the lessons immediately. It was your mindset after all, what allowed you to conquer the fears that keep many away from the water. You will learn to harness this power to turn your dreams of a fit and healthy diver into a permanent reality.
