The 3D Body Revolution: The Ultimate Workout and Nutrition Blueprint to Get Healthy and Lean

Donald Driver, with Jon Levey. Harmony, $28 trade paper (224p) ISBN 978-0-451-49746-8

Driver (Driven), a former Green Bay Packers wide receiver and Super Bowl champion, expands his brand with a program for achieving optimal fitness. At the start of the book, Driver describes being out of shape in middle age and in denial about the fact. Remembering what training and eating like a top athlete felt like—being driven, determined, and disciplined—he decided to live like that again and to show others how it’s done. Automotive analogies abound in the plan that follows. To wit, readers will learn how to do a mental tune-up and start their engine in part one; enter the “exercise garage” and go from first to fifth gear with increasingly difficult exercise regimens in part two; and fuel the tank with complex carbs, build engine blocks with protein, and grease the wheels with good fats in part three. Finally, Driver asks readers to take the wheel and steer into a fitter, happier life. Driver’s enthusiasm is boundless, and he teaches by example, sharing personal stories and 100 photos of himself performing the exercise sequences. Lean and mean, with no excess bulk or filler, this volume is sure to find an audience. (Sept.)
