Kindle Pick of the Week: The 3D Body Revolution by Donald Driver

Donal Driver is fit.

The record-setting wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, Donald Driver, may have retired in 2012, but he's still in playing shape. Since then, has won Dancing with the Stars (2012) and written a bestselling memoir, Driven. At on time, he took a break from his intense workouts after retiring–and found himself sluggish and unhappy.

He took it upon himself to get back into the best shape of his life–and along the way has become THE go-to guy for training other pro athletes as well as regular people just looking for a great workout at his Dallas gym Driven Elite Fitness and Health Center. With his trademark motivational energy and charisma, he now he shares his 3D’s: the determination to eat for weight loss; the discipline to achieve high-intensity, muscle-building workouts; and the drive to push yourself to your best. Whatever your starting level, this workout blueprint will guide you to peak performance, with targeted nutritional and motivational advice for each of its 3 levels. Filled with insights and insider stories from his life on and off the field, Driver also offers a clean eating plan with 25 recipes targeted to caloric needs as well as 50 photos of him demonstrating the exercises. This is your path to peak performance and phenomenal fitness.

This book is thorough and packed with nuggest. It's more than a motivation book, just as Driver is more than just a football player. I received an early review copy, and this is a book to pre-order.

It's out Sept 19.

 "I want you to get in the best shape of your life and I’m here to help," says Driver.

The book is loaded with pictures and anecodotes from Driver about his playing days and life after football.

It's a great read and resource to keep with you on your mobile device.

No. 4 gives his seal of approval:

“My friend Donald’s life is one of commitment: Commitment to family, faith, health, and well-being. And this book is evidence of that commitment, offering a path anyone can follow to better health and fitness.” – Brett Favre, Packers quarterback, 1992-2007

Donald Driver Gets a Street

“Fourteen years ago, I would have never imagined I would be standing where I am today. But one man I honored at my retirement wasn’t there to take the recognition for bringing me here today,” he said. “I cannot leave this podium without honoring the man, Mr. Ron Wolf.”

Donald Driver Plans on Playing Two More Years

During Wednesday’s ESPY awards in Los Angeles, the 37-year-old wide receiver said he plans on playing two more years with the franchise he’s spent the last 13 seasons with.

“I’m going to play two more years, this one, then next year, then I’m completely done,” said Driver, a seventh-round selection in 1999.

Coming into this season, Driver restructured his contract from the $5 million he was scheduled to make to a one year, $2.3 million deal.

The new contract guaranteed Driver $1.2 million and makes it unlikely the Packers would part with him this season.

If Driver’s intention to play two more seasons with the Packers is to be realized, the organization would have to re-sign him at some point during or after this season.

In a 13-year career, Driver has 735 receptions, 10,060 receiving yards with 59 touchdowns, but amassed only 37 catches for 445 yards in 16 games last season for his lowest statistical production since 2001.

Donald Driver Brings Mirror Ball Trophy to Green Bay

Green Bay Packer's wide receiver Donald Driver took home the coveted mirror ball trophy on the season finale of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

He may have wrapped up the trophy Monday night during his country-themed freestyle dance. And he and pro partner Peta Murgatroyd repeated the feat Tuesday with his shirt-free cha-cha, earning a perfect 30 from the judges and a total of 89 for the two nights.

Driver adds to the list of football players who have had success on the show.

Driver defeated Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins, who was runner-up, and Latin actor and model William Levy to become the third football star (after Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward) to win on DWTS.

It's looking like next season's DWTS will feature stars from previous seasons.

Donald Driver Goes Country on DWTS

It was down tot he final 3 last night on "Dancing With the Stars."

William Levy, Katherine Jenkins and Donald Driver.

I think Driver stole the show.

The Green Bay Packer was at his very best on his first dance, an Argentine tango with scintillating lifts. One of the judges, Len Goodman complained it was too careful. But Carrie Ann Inaba loved it, and Bruno Tonioli said the dance was effective. Points: 29, with 9 from Goodman.

The freestyle dance was next.

Driver and partner, Peta Murgatroyd went country on a high-energy routine with exceptional lifts. She was remarkable in the way she moved through the routine, with Driver's help.  The crowd loved it and so did the judges.  Inaba said it was her favorite dance of the night. "Fantastic," Goodman ruled. Points: 30, more perfection.

Points awarded by judges on Monday night were: Jenkins 30, Levy 29 and Driver 29.  It's anyone's guess who will win.

The winner will be named in a two-hour extravaganza that starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday on ABC.
