From the Author Hi, I'm Z Altug and I wrote Sustainable Fitness to help you achieve your health and fitness goals. I am very grateful for my patients and clients in physical therapy and fitness for encouraging me to write this book. Research is ever-changing, and so are the science and art of medicine. The views expressed today might be modified, adapted, or obsolete in the future. It is my hope that you stay informed of the latest developments in science and medicine. Attend community health lectures at local hospitals or colleges. Discuss controversial medical topics or new scientific findings with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare professional's priority is to keep you healthy. Please utilize his or her expertise. I wish you good health and happiness during your journey in life. Sincerely, Z Altug
From the Inside Flap Dear Reader, Sustainable Fitness: A Practical Guide to Health, Healing, and Wellness can be used by a wide range of people, including the following: · Individuals looking for simple tips and guidelines to supplement the advice provided by their healthcare professionals. However, there is no substitute for proper medical care. · Healthcare professionals (such as physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, nurses, chiropractors, osteopaths, and acupuncturists) and also fitness professionals (such as personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and practitioners of yoga, tai chi, qigong, Pilates, the Feldenkrais Method, and the Alexander Technique) to educate their patients or clients on evidence-based self-management strategies for health, healing, and fitness by creating personalized handouts from the book. · Coaches to discuss various performance-enhancing behaviors with their athletes. · Parents to discuss various healthy lifestyle behaviors with their children to take advantage of the prime growing and learning years. This way, children do not lose out on any years of wellness. The book is written in a format that largely uses bullet-points, checklists, tables, charts, and boxes to help readers easily extract and use the information. The book serves as a resource manual and a quick reference source for health, fitness, and wellness guidelines. I originally developed much of the content in handout form for my patients and clients. No person is without some bias. For this reason, I have listed multiple references at the end of the book, not only as additional sources, but also for the reader to use to find different viewpoints. Please note that the references listed in each section are not intended to be comprehensive for every topic, but rather to provide a sampling of available research. I provide limited portions of direct quotes from each study referenced. For more detail surrounding the direct quotes and sources, and for ways to access the full sources, please refer to the References section at the end of the book and the Research Resources section on page 471. Please note what Sustainable Fitness is not about: · Promising miracle cures or quick-fix solutions. · Promoting a specific product or sales pitch. I have no conflicts of interest to disclose. · Providing a specific diet or one-size-fits-all exercise routine. Every person has the freedom of choice to pursue whatever lifestyle, activity, sports, or exercises he or she wishes. This book simply outlines guidelines for making healthful choices. · Providing a self-help book to be used independently of guidance from your healthcare provider. This book is designed to be used in conjunction with advice from your healthcare provider. Sustainable Fitness is about incorporating the following elements into your lifestyle: · Adaptability · Balance · Enjoyment · Freedom of choice · Harmony · Longevity · Minimalism · Quality of life · Repeatability · Renewability Sustainable Fitness has six underlying concepts. Applying and integrating all these principles will help the reader recover and attain his or her highest fitness level: 1. Purpose--Define your purpose in life, work, family, and community. Can you clearly define your purpose in life? Is your purpose to care for others, create music, write or edit, paint, provide security, supply food, entertain, sell or deliver goods, build things, work as a professional athlete, or be a good parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, or coworker? Do you have a strong sense of family, friendship, and community? 2. Habits--Adopt healthy habits, such as living smoke-free, drinking alcohol only in moderation (if at all), and engaging in creative hobbies which not only promote good health, but also make a small difference in your community. What are some positive changes you are looking to make? 3. Stress--Live in balance and with peace of mind. What ways have you found to release stress triggers, avoid anger, and live your life without rushing? 4. Sleep--Get adequate sleep and rest for optimal recovery. Do you get enough rest every night and wake up feeling refreshed? 5. Nutrition--Eat nutritious and wholesome foods that nature designed for us. Can the foods you typically eat be found in nature, or are they artificial and manufactured? 6. Exercise--Engage in pain-free, enjoyable exercise that is sustainable. Does your exercise program energize and refresh you, or does it wear you down? Many concepts in this book are presented using the original terminology from the researchers. The purpose of this is to add depth to the topics, since many people in the general public are interested in the details of medical research. However, if research is not your cup of tea, then please feel free to focus on the practical explanations provided throughout the book. I wish you good health and happiness. Respectfully, Z Altug, PT, DPT, MS, CSCS Los Angeles, CA Note: Some of the proceeds from the sale of this book will help support research in physical therapy and medicine.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent and a very detailed By rpv A very comprehensive book. I was thinking it is a small book of some sort, but I was surprised this is excellent and a very detailed. It feels like a college text book. Has many types of exercise, lot of injury prevention techniques. Healing and injury is treated in great detail. I am glad nutrition is covered in depth as well. I loved the phytonutrients as I am a whole food plant based person. I also very happy meditation is covered. There are absolutely great resources for you as a person who wants to improve the lifestyle in a great exponential way. There are resources and tools for you to track and improve the fitness every step of the way. I loved the title also. I view fitness of mind, body, spiritual. I am glad the author wrote this book in depth, it will floor you. This book deserves a special place in the library of anyone who cares about their health as well as their loved ones. I was provided with a book for review purposes. Since I am deep into fitness of mind and body, I agreed to review it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not systematic, but not bad By Eric Sedensky When someone sees the title “Sustainable Fitness”, if they’re like me they’ll probably think to themselves, “Just what I need: Another workout book” and they are likely to give this hefty volume by physio-everything guy Z Altug short shrift. That would be a mistake, because this book is filled with useful and interesting information. Unfortunately, that is also this book’s undoing, because it is sort of like reading a compendium of health magazine articles and factoids, as opposed to being a structured methodical approach to improving one’s health.It seems the Mr. (apparently, an alphabet soup of letters after his name does not make him a doctor) Altug has, over the years compiled pamphlets from gleanings and research he has done to help patients and customers understand their bodies, medical issues, health in general, exercise, how the body works, and every topic related to health you can think of. He’s found research that supports his suggestions and findings, which he cites throughout the book, and then stitched it all together into this manual. If ever there was a book that could be called holistic, this is it. He covers everything from what to eat, to how to brush your teeth, to how much sleep to get, to how to strengthen your back, to improving your mental health, to dealing with stress, to what supplements work, what supplements don’t work, to weight training, to running, to what kind of shoes to wear, to...you get the idea. He covers women’s health and men’s health, children’s health and senior’s health, physical health to mental health to emotional health. It is, simply, unending: page after page of “this worked for 9 out of 10 Norwegian men”, “that worked for 80% of women aged 35 to 44 who were stay at home moms”, like that.And like I said, that is this book’s downfall. I read Men’s Health every month, and I find many remarkable similarities to this book. That is, despite all the information that Men’s Health provides each month, it is simply not possible to undertake to do all the good things they suggest, plus do all the workouts, plus cook all the recipes, plus eat blueberries to stave off Alzheimer’s, plus eat salmon three times a week to get enough Omega-3’s, plus, plus, plus. And this book has probably 100 times more information, suggestions, ideas, notions, and possible health tips than Men’s Health, but 100 times more than overkill is nothing less than daunting. In short, this book could stand a lot of editing, compressing, and rewriting, with a structure for formulating and achieving goals. I fear somebody looking for a way to live a better life will get a hold of this book and simply be stunned into “analysis paralysis” by the sheer amount of information it contains.So, if you really are out of ideas for improving your health or your outlook on life (or whatever), or you just want to understand and bask in the scope of possibilities when it comes to well being, this book will be right up your alley. If you are looking for a specific approach to any of those goals, feel free to start with this book, but be prepared to move on to other resources when the time comes to actually doing something. For being probably the single most holistic health book ever written, I give it five stars, but I deduct one each, not only for not staying true to the title and helping to sustain fitness, but also for not really helping to achieve it in the first place.Note: I received a complimentary Kindle edition of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. lots of excellent information and resources, but the format/organization did not work for me By Sneaky Burrito There are a lot of good things about this book and I wanted to highlight them first.This book is long (unlike so many inexpensive Kindle "books" these days) and it is extensive. It covers a wide range of topics that are all related to health.It's also comprehensive. I do love the whole life sort of approach to wellness. It's not just about eating right or exercising (although of course those topics are covered), but about avoiding injury, getting enough sleep, etc. I like the focus on things that people don't always think to mention, but that really are important.Additionally, the author has exceptional qualifications. He's studied physical therapy, physical education, and more, so I definitely trust what he has to say. He also has gone to the trouble to track down resources so you can read outside opinions firsthand. It shows a familiarity with the field and with the literature that is reassuring.However, the format of the book really didn't work for me. I think this content, arranged in a similar way, would make an excellent website. For example, I noticed a number of links to sources as I read this on my Kindle. But I have a Kindle Paperwhite and the browser is clunky and awkward, and I was unable to visit the outside sources as I read. (I mention the model because I believe a tablet like a Kindle Fire might be a very different experience.)The book was a series of bullet points. Again, this is a reason why I think it would work as a website instead of a book -- this is a very natural format for a website. But my own preference is to read longer paragraphs, when I am reading a book. I have dedicated time set aside for reading books, whereas bullet points are more for idle browsing (in my opinion).Organization could also have used some work. There really didn't seem to be any sort of system or method to the way information was arranged. One chapter would be about sleep, then another about vitamin D, then another about mattresses (or something along those lines, anyway). It was also not always clear for whom the bulleted information was meant. As an example, one chapter talks about using an electric jar opener. But it never prefaces that by saying this information is meant for someone with, for example, arthritic hands.I suppose I was just hoping for something more systematic, and I didn't get that here. The style may have appeal for others, it is just not a scheme that appeals to me. And of course, the information comes from a trustworthy source. If you are looking to pick up a few tips here and there to improve your health and fitness, this might be just what you wanted.Review copy provided by the author.
