Product Description
The personal coach to Lance Armstrong shares the philosophy and program that have not only made him a world-class coach but inspired him to gain control of the rest of his life as well
Chris Carmichael’s outstanding coaching experiences have convinced him that great success in any area of life is only possible if we first achieve an integrated, healthy, and balanced lifestyle. Only by harmonizing what he considers the five essential aspects of life—fitness, nutrition, relationships, career, and health—do we construct the strong, stable, and supportive platform from which we can reach for our dreams.
In his 5 Essentials Program, the coach who guided Lance Armstrong to his record-breaking seven Tour de France championships now provides the empowering tools—including step-by-step action plans—that today’s men need to achieve their personal, professional, and athletic goals while performing at levels thought only possible in youth. There are many books that offer advice on making a change in one specific area of life—whether it is diet, fitness, career advancement, or relationships. The Five Essentials Program provides the integrated approach that really works to release the champion within and create lasting change.

 Excellent recipes! Awesome plan! ( rollie74 )
If you are into fitness and eating correctly, this book is for you. My wife purchased this because she is really into cycling (Chris coached Lance Armstrong). I was a little tentative (I am more into running), and expected it to be mostly hype. However, she started cooking some of the meals, and they were really good (excellent flavor), and we started trying new foods (have you ever eaten Kale, or had Parsnips instead of Fries?). The food was excellent, and I can actually feel the difference in energy levels when I eat these recipes. I have even started preparing several of the recipes myself, and if I can do it, anyone can. Overall, I feel much better following this plan, have more energy, and have been able to push myself much farther in running and even in riding.
Good luck meeting your goals!

Not for the professionals, or professional amateurs ( thisisthelongestnicknameicouldthinkoffornow )
I'd have to agree with one of the other reviewers, once you take out the recipies and other charts/info, it's a pretty short book. But Carmichael knows what he's talking about, and he gets a lot of great points out. This is an excellent book for lighting a fire under your.... and getting you moving. Pros, or those who have specific workout schedules won't get a lot of new info, but for a beginner, it's great information. And don't worry about the content level. If you buy it here, you get a good discount off list price, so it's worth it.

fitting it all in
Most athletes feel torn between their sport, job, family and sleep. Too often we focus too much energy on one at the expense of the others. Achieving balance is key to a happy and fulfilling life. Carmichael reveals his own journey (including the struggles) to find this balance in his own life. A very personal look into how even elite athletes struggle to fit it all in. Includes recipes, meal plans and exercise programs, tailored to all fitness levels. Gives beginners a clear path to follow, and offers enough nutritional/balance advice for the advanced athlete seeking to excel without sacrificing other areas of life. Great message.

 Good insight into a Performance Lifestyle ( mytrainer )
I'm a raving fan of Chris Carmichael. I thought there were great insights in this book about the idea of "Performance" and "winning" and how you can improve your lifestyle. The book does start really strong, and then seems to turn into a before-and-after diet and exercise book with pages of recipes, and it may seem to get a little bit sidetracked with discussion about improved sexual function. But I overlooked all that because the insights throughout, especially the candid ones from a pro like Chris are invaluable; they are important and can set you on a much better path than most diet and exercise books. This book is a significant departure from the usual stuff. Thanks Chris for putting out a book that really starts to get people thinking differently about their lifestyle.
