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divers in terrible physical shape as a group (7 out of 10 are either overweight or obese), they also adhere to such outdated exercise guidelines and myths, the few who actually exercise see little to no results.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 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.

Download or read book Scuba Diving Fitness written by Scott Van Hoy and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most dangerous scuba dives such as deep wreck dives or cave dives are not what kills divers. 3 of every 4 diver mishaps have 2 things in common. 1) The victim was over the age of 50, and 2) the victim was overweight or obese. Many scuba diver deaths are completely preventable by staying in shape into the retirement years. Scuba diving fitness is the missing piece of open water diver training that all scuba divers should know. This short, useful, and to the point health and fitness book teaches divers the essential but often overlooked realities of living a healthy life, and thus preventing a dive mishap. Topics covered include an overview of nutrition and exercise basics, workout planning, goal setting, meal planning, and weight loss. All discussions are linked back to diving, but this book is useful for divers and non-divers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So you have been battling the stigma of superfluous pounds, for a long time. But so far, nobody has shown you the best exercises to flatten your tummy or the best foods to burn fat all day long. Could this finally be the book you have been searching for? Will this book tell you what the best exercises for weight loss are? Nope. What about what to eat? Not really. What is this book about then? It is about more than you may be ready to handle. Starting with diet and exercise may be the done with the best of intentions but the overwhelming long-term failure rate of most programs clearly indicates this approach is not the most effective. At the request of his many readers, Israel "Coach Izzy" Sanchez adapted the message of The Fit and Healthy Diver Manifesto to make it suitable for the non-diving population. As one of the most respected strength and fitness professionals, Coach Izzy creates controversy yet again as he questions the popular health and fitness norms and the prevalent attitudes when it comes to weight loss. He reveals how they are responsible for the poor success rate of most weight loss programs and how these thwarted approaches are deceivingly disguised to the point they become widely accepted. Qualified as an uncomfortable read and one bound to upset many, it is a must for those tired of poor success for their efforts, and for those who feel the system has failed them. It is the first step to what Coach Izzy refers as "the path to a better health and body through liberated thinking" and he wants to make sure you understand that unless you absorb the simplicity of this powerful message, no program will ever make a difference.

Download or read book Operation Rising Sun written by David W. Jourdan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944 Allied codebreakers learned the Imperial Japanese Navy had dispatched the cargo submarine I-52 to occupied France with tons of military supplies and payment—in gold—for German assistance. I-52 undertook the mission as part of the Yanagi missions, a military program meant to alleviate Japan’s desperate need for military material and technical knowledge. After tracking I-52 from Asia to the Atlantic, the Allies destroyed the vessel in a battle that ended the Yanagi missions and left I-52 an unlikely treasure ship on the seafloor. David W. Jourdan adds to the history of I-52 with a spellbinding account of his efforts to find the sunken submarine. One of the first joint American-Russian research expeditions, the search for the wreck combined a team effort, exhaustive detective work, and a dramatic battle with the sea. The effort paid off when the group found I-52’s nearly intact hull three miles down. The expedition also earned an unexpected historical dividend when it uncovered one-of-a-kind recordings of American Avenger torpedo bomber attacks on an enemy submarine. Part war tale and part seagoing adventure, Operation Rising Sun tells the story of the two very different missions to find submarine I-52.
