There are many fitness books devoted to getting a better body.
There are also many books devoted to the mindfulness, inside-out
approach to success, several of which focus on exercise. However,
there has not been a book that turns the inside-out concept on its
head (pun intended), taking an outside-in approach to show how
strengthening the body first leads to a stronger mind and inner
self. Work Out fills that void, first by explaining how exercise
creates the sound mind and changes us on the inside and then by
describing the workouts to create the sound body.

throughout your day: Neck and shoulders * Moving your spine * Legs
and hips * Hands and wrists * Breathing. Each section provides
exercises, tips and tricks targeting areas that are badly affected
by stiffness and pain. Build new habits, learn how to move just a
bit more each day, and within four weeks aches and pains will be
gone, you will feel more energized, positive and alive at work.

hunger and the role of food addiction in weight issues. This new

hunger, cravings, and addictions to unhealthy foods. New recipes
and menus are included as well as new and updated Frequently Asked
Questions. This is a book that will let you live longer, reduce

importantly, if you follow the Eat To Live diet, you will lose
weight faster than you ever thought possible.
'A powerful, poignant tale of dieting and despair.' The Times 'A
moving, brutally honest memoir about what it feels like to be
fat-shamed.' Mail on Sunday _______________ At sixty-four, Jenni
Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales,
she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make
connections between her weight and health issues and told herself
that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy
part was an Oscar-worthy performance. In private she lived with a
growing sense of fear and misery that her weight would probably
kill her before she made it to seventy. Interwoven with the
science, social history and psychology of weight management, Fat
Cow, Fat Chance is a refreshingly honest account of what it's like
to be fat when society dictates that skinny is the norm. It asks
why we overeat and why, when the weight is finally lost through
dieting, do we simply pile the pounds back on again? How do we help
young people become comfortable with the way they look? What are
the consequences of the obesity epidemic for an already
overstretched NHS? And, whilst fat shaming is so often called out,
why is it that shouting 'fat cow' at a woman in the street hasn't
been included in the list of hate crimes? Fusing politics, science
and personal pain, this is a powerful exploration of our battle
with obesity. _______________ 'Agony and confusion, humour and
hope. A beautiful book.' Susie Orbach, author of Fat is a Feminist
Issue 'A perceptive look at health and happiness.' Sunday Express

Don't limit your challenges. Challenge your limits At the age of
55, record-breaking ultrarunner Mimi Anderson embarked on her most
ambitious adventure yet. She wanted to become the fastest woman in
history to run across America from Los Angeles to New York. Her
journey would cover 2,850 miles, 12 states and four time zones,
dealing with extreme changes in terrain, weather and altitude along
the way. For 40 days, the determined mother of three pushed herself
on and on for more than 2,000 miles across the vast continent,
despite the onset of severe pain, until she was forced to make a
crushing decision: carry on and risk never being able to run again
or give up on her all-time goal. What happened next set Mimi on a
new, unexpected journey. She learned to face her fears and bounce
back from defeat by taking up the new challenge of becoming a
triathlete. A follow-up to her first memoir Beyond Impossible, this
next instalment in Mimi's inspiring story proves that when one door
closes, another opens - you just need the courage to swim, cycle
and run through it.
