Professional trainers ANIELA and JERZY GREGOREK have developed a proven way to help people lose weight, reverse serious health conditions, and slow down the aging process. In their comprehensive new book, The Happy Body: The Simple Science of Nutrition, Exercise, and Relaxation, with a foreword by Stanford University School of Medicine’s Eric Weiss MD, this dynamic husband and wife team introduce readers to the successful and innovative fitness program they’ve become famous for among the hundreds of athletes, celebrities, and ordinary people whose bodies, lives, and health they’ve transformed.
Based on standards and goals established over the course of three decades of practice, and backed by sound scientific study, The Happy Body program features structured exercise sequences (simple weightlifting and floor exercises), relaxation techniques, and nutrition guidelines. The program slows down the aging process by restoring six qualities of youthfulness— flexibility, strength, speed, leanness, ideal body weight, and good posture—making you feel as youthful as you were at 20.
Using detailed step-by-step photographs, easy-to-follow charts and formulas, and concise written instructions, the Gregoreks show how to design a personalized fitness plan consisting of 18 exercises you can do in your own home with a set of inexpensive hand weights. They demonstrate how to do each exercise the right way so as to avoid injury, and include guidelines that enable you to customize a routine for your own body type, fitness and health goals, and progress.

 ANIELA and JERZY GREGOREK came to the U.S. from Poland in 1986 as political refugees during the Solidarity Movement, and have since built a successful personal coaching and athletic training practice in LA. Aniela is a five-time World Weightlifting Champion who holds six world records, and Jerzy is a four-time World Weightlifting Champion with one world record. The Gregoreks founded the UCLA weightlifting team in 2000 and are its head coaches. They have devoted the last three decades of their lives to researching and designing The Happy Body program. Using these techniques, they have transformed hundreds of people—from housewives and physicians to athletes and celebrities—who came to them with every conceivable body shape and desire.
