Bob Greene - 20 Years Younger Book Challenge On The Oprah Winfrey Show

Celebrity health and fitness guru Bob Greene appeared on today's Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah only has 19 more shows to go before The Oprah Winfrey Show finale! I'm a big fan of Bob Greene so I was excited to find out about his brand new book 20 Years Younger: Look Younger, Feel Younger, Be Younger! I already have two of Bob Greene's books and I plan on purchasing a copy of 20 Years Younger as well.

Oprah selected 20 of The Oprah Show Ultimate Viewers and had them take a two month long 20 Years Younger Challenge. The women were taught how to work out and eat well by Bob Greene. They also took steps to improve the appearance of their skin with Lancer Skin Care Products.

The 20 Years younger plan is based on a combination of excercise, nutrition, proper sleep and a good skin care regimen. The women who took the two month challenge lost weight, lowered their cholestorel and felt great overall. One woman lost 27 pounds in two months and there was no starvation diet involved. Whether you want to look and feel younger or you want to get healthy, the unique 20 Years Younger plan can help you to achieve your goals. 

Bob Greene Bio – The Biography of a Successful Fitness Guru

Bob Greene was born on December 8, 1958 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He expressed interest in health and diet since the young age of 8 years-old, and would inform his family on how to eat more healthily. He graduated from Cherry Hill High School East and went on to earn an undergraduate degree in physical education at the University of Delaware. He then studied at the University of Arizona where he earned a master’s degree in exercise physiology and later became a member of the American College of Sports Medicine.

Greene’s vast knowledge of diet and exercise became publicly known after he became Oprah Winfrey’s personal trainer, helping her to reach her weight loss goals. Greene was the first person to teach Oprah to recognize the connection between emotions and weight. Oprah began getting in touch with her feelings and learning the difference between actual hunger and emotional eating.

As Bob Greene taught Oprah what foods she should eat and how to work-out to raise her metabolism, Oprah excitedly shared the information with her television audience, and decided to get together with Bob Greene and write a book about her experience. The book “Make the Connection: Ten Steps to a Better Body and a Better Life ” became a best-seller. 

Americans and Canadians became interested in learning more about the Bob Green diet plan and the first Bob Greene book that was published sold millions of copies. Bob Greene went on to write nearly a dozen more books on his favorite tops of diet, health and weight loss.

He has appeared on dozens of TV talk shows and radio shows where he shares valuable information. He continues to be a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and contributor to Oprah’s O Magazine. Bob Greene married his lovely wife Urania in 2005 and the couple had a daughter named Kylee in 2006. Oprah Winfrey not only attended Greene’s wedding, she stood as a witness.

Bob Greene - Total Body Makeover

I've been a huge fan of health and fitness guru Bob Greene ever since he began working with Oprah Winfrey as her personal trainer. Bob Greene knows all of the ins and outs of weight loss and his no nonsense approach to diet and exercise may not be glamorous but it works.

The most annoying thing that I repeatedly hear is...If Bob Greene is so great then how come Oprah gained back weight? Bob Greene's practical approach to weight loss does work, there's no doubt about it, and Bob Greene's weight loss methods did work for Oprah.

There are many factors involved in Oprah's weight gain including her genetic makeup, a Thyroid condition, her metabolism, and increase in age. The way Oprah's body functions she could eat like a bird, workout everyday and she still wouldn't be thin.

The fact that she does have a thyroid problem and has basically kept her weight in control is a sign of all that Oprah has learned from Bob Greene and her other weight loss mentor Dr. Oz.

Those who insist on judging Bob Greene based on Oprah's weight problems are really missing out, because he has some fantastic information to share with those willing to put forth the effort in changing their lifestyle.

Bob Greene has written plenty of great books but I'm particularily exited about his Total Body workout. The Bob Greene Total Body Makeover DVD is a body/mind program that teaches you how to work out efficiently so that you can receive maximum results within eight weeks.

The DVD can be used by beginners or those who are already working out. The Total Body Makeover DVD also includes bonus features such as information on the science of weight loss and inspirational stories.

Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover is also a book so you may want to consider purchasing both the book for motivation and tips as well as the workout DVD.  

If you want to learn how lose weight the safe and healthy way, Bob Greene can teach you how to burn that fat off fast. Here's a sample video clip of the Bob Greene: Total Body Makeover DVD:
