Physical Intelligence
How to Become More Productive, More Energetic, and, Frankly, Less Cranky

by Mariah Burton Nelson, M.P.H.

Like all my programs, this one is highly customized, depending on the audience But here's a general description:

As a busy professional, you're tired, sore, stiff, and sometimes sick. Yet you're too darn busy to transform yourself into that buff, smiling, superfit supermodel who taunts you from the television set. Or you "do everything right" but still get backaches or other nagging ailments that interfere with your overall happiness, or your ability to perform at your peak.

If you'd like to feel better and work more productively, this program is for you. In this entertaining and interactive presentation, you will *not* be told what to eat or not eat. You will *not* be told to exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. You've already heard all that. Instead, you'll learn how to develop your physical intelligence: The ability to listen to your body's subtle signals, and respond wisely.

Physical intelligence improves concentration and memory and reduces your risk of back pain, cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, weight gain, and depression. Join Mariah Burton Nelson, a busy author and speaker who knows how challenging it is to take care of one's own body.
