I have met Lani Muelrath a couple of times at the McDougall program here in Santa Rosa where I live. She helps out at the Advanced Study weekends and I often drop in to check out what is going on.
When I heard that Lani had a book coming out, and that she also loves her pressure cooker, it was time to spend a little time with her. We met virtually and I am sure that we are now good plant-based friends and colleagues.
I had a chance to look at Lani’s Plant-Based Blueprint on her website and I think that you will find it interesting. It gives you insight into what Lani eats and has 16 recipes. It’s an amazing bonus. You can get to it here.
Now that I have had a chance to take a more in-depth look at this book, I can tell you that it’s packed full of gems related to exercise, how you think and what you eat. If there were just one book to get for motivation to start the year off right, I would get this one. It is being released very soon.
So, if you want to win the book, you need to leave a comment about why you would like to get more fit, following Lani’s sage advice. I will do anything that takes just 5 minutes and makes me look and feel better. What about you? I can’t wait to hear from you.
I am choosing the winner on January 25th at 9 pm PST. Good luck.

Lani Muelrath,
I appreciate your sharing the story of your book with everyone. It is a book that I want to take when I travel. I love that it is practical because people often think that if they can’t put in a half hour or more that it’s not worth exercising. So not true, as you prove with your new book.
Thank you again for being here – Lani and everyone else.

Brandy,
You’ll be pleased to know that I came up with the Fit Quickies concept out of travel needs! True story – which I actually detail in the Fit Quickies book in the section “The Story of Fit Quickies”. I picked through my arsenal of exercises and pulled out my favorite body shapers, and tucked those in during busy global travel. And the way I was able to keep my shape as well as stay in shape – there is a difference – told me I was on to something. You’ll love ’em!

Cindy,
I LOVE that you mentioned stress and anxiety. Stress protection is often overlooked as one of the key values of moving your body – and research tells us that 3 – 5 minutes of it make a huge difference in mental outlook. So much so that I have a whole chapter in the book devoted to it called “Wind up your Willpower” !
Lani

Roberta,
Fit Quickies are a perfect match. The collection is a focus of over 30 years as a fitness coach – I sifted through my exercise arsenal and some of the top moves for changing the shape and strength of your body – worked with a PT to fine tune and had them all approved by an exercise physiologist. In other words, they’ve been run through the wringer to deliver the cream of the crop to you – and this means you have something targeted and focused for all those hot spots – the muscles most responsible for shaping your body.
