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 hes 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 wont get you a table next 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 becomingone hammer curl at a time. --Patrick Jennings
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.

At 44, I'm still trying to figure out a good workout/diet routine. I was given this book for Christmas and it's written like Stallone is talking to you. I read it, cover to cover, while my wife napped. I'm still curious as to how many grams of protein Stallone eats per day, based on his body weight, as I'm unsure how many to eat, myself. Also, I'd like to know, precisely, what his workout consists of. And, one exercise listed as a tricep exercise (seated or standing, holding a curl bar, palms ... Read More

I won't spend time listing all the qualities of the book, since other reviewers have already done so. What is important to note about this phenomenal book is its simplicity. Stallone takes a tour of his life from bottom to the top while explaining what he has learned about bodybuilding over the 40 years he has trained. Being now 60 and having been a part of bodybuilding that extended 40 years ago where people smoked in the gym (Stallone said so himself), Stallone pours out what he learned that worked...and ...

As a big gym body, I am always looking for good advice for working out and getting stronger, loosing weight, what to eat and what not to eat, typical stuff. I'm a huge fan of pretty much anything involving Sylvester Stallone, and watch the Rocky movies a lot. I was watching Rocky IV one day and started thinking "Ya know, with the body and back story of Ole Sly, I wander if he ever wrote a book." So I looked here and found this book and bought it immediately! Since a started with this book, I've never felt stronger, ... Read More

Sly has written one of the best books, for men and women, that I have ever read on the subject of WELLNESS. This is so much more than a diet book or an exercise book. Sly is a "hands on" author who shares with his reader what he has tried that didn't work...and what he has tried that did work. While I respect all those who make a study of diet and exercise, Sly's approach is from what he learned by his own trials and errors. In so doing, Sly adds his own personality, humor and life perspective. He gives each reader ... Read More

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 ... Read More
