Do What You Can: Mini Wins for Mega Health [9780316616140]

Overview

From the TODAY show’s Stephanie Mansour, the health and habits book for readers who are looking for small, high-impact ways to upgrade their routines—more tiny wins, fewer atomic overhauls!—with simple swaps that fit into the realities of our busy lives.

Stephanie Mansour knows it’s the smallest changes that produce the biggest results. As a certified personal trainer and TODAY fitness contributor, she’s realistic about how much time her clients have (not enough!) and what it takes to see improvements in their lives (less than you might think!). In Do What You Can: Mini Wins for Mega Health, Stephanie uses habit science to break down big goals into small, progress-oriented tasks, to help readers accomplish more with less effort – and even have fun doing it.

From exercise to nutrition to sleep to emotional regulation, Stephanie highlights daily, mini wins that cascade into far more significant changes. Do What You Can is a manifesto for creating lasting, impactful improvement in our lives, one step—literally—at a time.

Readers will learn how to: 
•    “Eat like a lion” – fueling up on protein every 3-4 hours, even if you don’t have time for a full meal
•    “Treat yourself like a baby” – adopting good-enough sleep habits rather than a rigid, extensive nightly wind-down routine
•    “Aim for a passing grade” – how small chunks of movement throughout the day can add up to big results (and ways to make exercise feel like play – really!) 
•    “Love your laziness” – staying on track in specific situations, and when it’s OK (even vital) to veg out and rest
•    Plus, Stephanie’s patented Five-Minute Workouts, No-Recipe Recipes, and a Three-Day Detox to start you off on your healthy habits journey with minimal fuss and anxiety. 

Stephanie blends science-backed strategies with practical know-how, meeting readers wherever they are on their wellness journey and showing us the immense power of simply doing what you can.
