Product Description:
Are you ready to be a contender? Sylvester Stallone's action–oriented program for getting fit and eating right is also a revealing portrait of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Sly Moves is more than just a handbook on fitness and nutrition. It's a provocative and candid inside look at the trials and triumphs of one of Hollywood's most famous stars. Throughout his career, Sly has always been body conscious, and as he experimented with intense training methods for various films, he has learned – often the hard way – what works and what definitely doesn't. His goal here is to help readers change harmful fitness habits, learn to counter reckless eating, and appreciate who they are even when they don't feel much like action heroes.
Part 1 is a history of Sylvester Stallone's physique, as the Rocky star shares stories about his being bullied as a child, finding comfort and strength at the gym, and then later, the wild ride of fad diets, crash–training regimens and workout disasters that fringed on obsession.
Part 2, The Sly Moves workout, outlines four exercise programs: classic, advanced, women's and hardcore. The workouts only require a commitment of about three hours a week (exactly the same amount of time Sly works out).
The Sly Moves eating plan (Part 3) is Sly's nutrition guide, highlighted by a unique meal plan for a lifetime of good eating.
Part 4 gives Sly an opportunity to inspire and encourage readers to make Sly Moves part of a long–term picture of health, fitness and wellbeing, with tips on everything from keeping goals and relaxation techniques to lessons learned from The Contender.
Amazon.com Review:
Movie fans can argue the merits of Rocky vs. Rambo, but no one can accuse Sylvester Stallone of being a couch potato. In Sly Moves, Stallone recounts the training methods that turned him into one of the true Hollywood hard-bodies of all time, tailoring the best and worst of what he’s learned from forty years in the gym and testing trendy diets into a simple (3-hour-a-week) workout/eating program anyone can follow.
Stallone mixes in plenty of personal tales from his storied career along with practical advice, including a three-day look inside the life of an action hero approaching age 60: what he eats, when he works out, what famous people he bumps into at his private Beverly Hills gym and the L.A. hot spots where he does dinner. Sly might help you tighten up those abs with three kinds of crunches, but odds are the new six pack won’t get you a table subsequent to him at Spago. Still, all the trappings of celebrity aside, you only have to check out the photos of him demonstrating his 'Rambo pulldowns,' 'Rocky chins,' or other exercises ('moves') he recommends to see he knows a thing or two about staying fit. As for how to 'gain will power' and 'live your dream,' you could do a lot worse than listen to a guy of humble beginnings who willed himself into everything he ever dreamed of becoming—one hammer curl at a time. --Patrick Jennings

This billion-dollar diet book industry is a sham. Mr. Stallone's book speaks the truth. You don't need to count points, or cut out ice-cream, or only eat meat. Who among us really wants to do any of that? Who here really wants to never eat pizza again? And in this book, he shows you you don't have to adhere to these silly diet notions. For that matter, no one really wants to be on a diet. You just have to eat sensibly (aka no pint of Ben & Jerry's every day) and you have to exercise. It's a shame more of the big media (like Oprah) decided not to help promote this line of thinking!

I enjoy this book very much. Mr. Stallone gives the reader a good look into his life that most people are unaware of, he's an interesting guy. He talks about what was going through his mind as he prepared physically for each of his Rocky & Rambo movies, and also a few of his other movies.
The book was written before these last two Rocky & Rambo movies, so there's no behind the scenes stuff on those...I have a feeling that all the reminiscing done for this book may be what lit the fire to do these two latest movies.
The final two thirds of the book walk you through his simple & informative fitness formula that anyone can use in their routine...from a fitness novice, to a "set in their ways" diehard fitness expert.
It's easy to read, informative & often humorous, cuts through the BS & gets to the facts. I would recommend this book for anybody.

This book is typical of the life Sly Stallone...he lives the attitude of never say die, everyone is an individual, you alone are responsible for your life. His philosophy in a nutshell is don't try to fit in, try to stand out. Don't compare yourself with anyone. Don't listen to anyone else's idea on what you should be and do. Go for it!! There is no restrictions, rules and limitations...if your heart is in the right place and you remain focused you can accomplish anything you desire. Very inspiring and motivational!!

I love this book! I have purchased 2 copies since it came out. One for my sister, and one for myself. Now I just need an autograph! My favorite part is the workouts tailored for the men and women. I can't think of anyone better to take advice from about working out than Sylvester Stallone. In a world where celebrities demean women, I do love how Sylvester Stallone has respect for women and what their bodies go through physically to bear children. He knows that among all of womens responsibilites it's hard to find time to work out. He takes a proactive approach and gives men and women a 3 hour a week workout. Something that is actually achievable. Great book! Thank you!
