BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, May 5, 2015, Bernie Caplan, long time fitness professional and creator of the Spunk Fitness chain, has announced the release of his first book, “Put the Spunk Back Into Your Life.” This is a motivational book designed to help people start and stick with a regular exercise program. The book outlines all the fundamentals of both intentional and incidental activity, showing people that it is possible to become more active and enjoy the benefits of a regular exercise program.

Where many books simply discuss exercise in general, what makes this book unique is that after the basic groundwork, the remainder is broken up into chapters according to chronic conditions. Losing weight, controlling diabetes, lowering blood pressure, supporting healthy joints, mood enhancement, heart health, healthy aging, and recovering from injury each have a dedicated chapter on the benefits of exercise for that condition as well as specific exercises that can be done. There is even a chapter on how to be better in the bedroom, which focuses on overcoming sleep disorders and erectile dysfunction.

During a recent interview, Bernie was asked why he felt the need to write a motivational book about the benefits of exercise, he replied, “During my 30 years in this business, people continually ask me about how to incorporate exercise into their lives when they have never before exercised. They feel intimidated, overwhelmed and defeated just thinking about it. My goal is to teach people how to begin moving, and gradually make exercise a part of their lifestyle. Small changes can result in huge health benefits. Everyone can do it.”

In addition to providing community members with a book that inspires them to health and wellness, Caplan is donating all the proceeds from the book to Araminta Freedom Initiative, an organization that fights against human trafficking of minors. Caplan, who sits on the Board of Directors of Araminta, made these comments, “I’m blessed to be a part of this wonderful, God-centered organization that fights against human trafficking. I encourage others to contribute to this very worthwhile effort.”

Another unique aspect to the book is the personal stories of individuals who faced specific ailments and lifestyle conditions that were able to overcome them by starting a regular exercise program. Caplan makes note about this element of the book, “These are real Spunk Fitness members with real life challenges. It’s inspiring and motivating to read about real people winning in the face of adversity. Stories like these inspire me to continue to remain in the health and fitness industry and provide facilities and services that benefit these types of people at prices that anyone can afford. I’m sure they will also be inspirational to those that read this book”

The book is currently available on Amazon in both print and Kindle versions. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W8ADWIW
