Doc Esser macht den Westen fit

The Fitness Book for Participation

Health begins with a healthy body and a healthy mind, both of which need to be challenged. As a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and intensive care physician, Doc Esser knows what is good for people: a healthy lifestyle not only strengthens our bodies but also enhances resilience. And it’s fun! For many years, this popular doctor has been providing people in North Rhine-Westphalia with comprehensive health tips. His motto, supported by scientific findings and life experience, is: movement and prevention are everything—regardless of whether one is overweight or underweight, healthy or sick. A healthy person with a larger build who exercises regularly makes Doc less nervous than an unfit person of normal weight. "We all need to step out of our comfort zone two to three times a week and push ourselves to our limits, just like children do every day. This keeps us young and agile and allows us to benefit from our natural urge to move." It’s never too late to enhance one’s well-being through sufficient exercise and healthy nutrition. With the help of this book, he shows how to overcome the inner resistance even after countless failed attempts and specifically address deficiencies. This is facilitated by self-tests, training plans, stretching and strengthening exercises, as well as knowledge about the current state of science regarding sports, movement, and prevention.
