Book excerpt: Jen Miller has fallen in and out of love, but no man has been there for her the way running has. In Running: A Love Story, Jen tells the story of her lifelong relationship with running, doing so with wit, thoughtfulness, and brutal honesty. Jen first laces up her sneakers in high school, when, like many people, she sees running as a painful part of conditioning for other sports. But when she discovers early in her career as a journalist that it helps her clear her mind, focus her efforts, and achieve new goals, she becomes hooked for good. Jen, a middle-of-the-pack but tenacious runner, hones her skill while navigating relationships with men that, like a tricky marathon route, have their ups and downs, relying on running to keep her steady in the hard times. As Jen pushes herself toward ever-greater challenges, she finds that running helps her walk away from the wrong men and learn to love herself while revealing focus, discipline, and confidence she didn’t realize she had. Relatable, inspiring, and brutally honest, Running: A Love Story, explores the many ways that distance running carves a path to inner peace and empowerment by charting one woman’s evolution in the sport.

Download or read book How to Make Exercise a Part of Your Life Exercise lifestyle tips for Millennials written by Dueep Jyot Singh and published by Mendon Cottage Books. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Thinking about Your Body Image Working on Workouts One Thing at a Time Getting into the Habit Taking the Time out… Activities That You Enjoy Exercise Dance Routines Going through a Fixed Routine Best time to work out? Motivation Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was just talking to a friend, who said that she had been motivated to join the gym, because that was the only way in which he could keep herself fit. She had paid up a large amount of money and she wanted value for money. I wanted to tell her that with the whole world getting crazy about keeping fit, and exercising, and people telling you that you need to work out in order to keep healthy, and this workout should be done on a regular basis, it is a wonder how so many people just shudder whenever they hear the word “exercise.” So this book is for all those who hate to exercise. This includes you. This includes me, especially when we are not keeping fit freaks obsessed with a streamlined body and zero fat image. We would rather be comfortable with what we have, as long as we are reasonably healthy. Believe it or not, in many parts of the world, what you consider to be fit, healthy, and attractive is going to be considered to be unfit, ugly, unattractive, and on the point of starvation. So depending on where you are located geographically, remember that exercise is not a bad word, but I want to get people to stop thinking of it as a duty, which has to be done, without any joy, without any fun, just because one has been told to do that in order to keep fit. And this is the reason why so many people spend lots of money joining gyms, and getting physical trainers to think up a fitness routine for them.

In Surrounded by Setbacks, internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson turns his attention to a universal problem: what to do when things go wrong. Too often it seems like our dreams and ambitions—whether it’s finally getting that corner office, lacing up your running shoes again, or building a flourishing relationship with your partner—are derailed by one roadblock or another. So how do we learn to take setbacks in stride and still achieve our goals? In Surrounded by Setbacks, Erikson answers that question. Using simple, actionable steps, Erikson helps readers identify the “why” behind their goal, create a concrete plan towards achieving it, and—most importantly—avoid many of the most common pitfalls that derail us when we attempt something new. The simple 4-color behavior system that made Surrounded by Idiots revolutionary now helps readers reflect on how they respond to adversity, giving them the self-awareness to negotiate the inevitable obstacles of life with confidence.

Build a Positive Organizational and Health and Safety Culture as everyone is committed and takes responsibility in every facet of their life while being injury and illness free 24/7. TESTIMONIAL - Dear Judy, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book! I am a retired Detective Supervisor who managed squads of Detectives. I wish your book had been available during my 25 years in law enforcement! Many of your how to ( and how not to) lead lessons I learned the hard way through OJT, observing others and trial & error. You explain in a personal, straightforward way in easy to understand language how to successfully and safely work, manage and lead. Other Leadership/Management books I have read in the past I found to be dry and impersonal, difficult to understand let alone apply. In today's economy, I would recommend this book to anyone working in the public or private sector as well as to anyone running a business with employees. Whether you are a worker bee, line supervisor, middle management or executive, you can become a greater asset to your employer. You will improve the morale and your working relationship with co-workers and others, learn early recognition, prevention, and how to deal with health and safety issues that affect and cost everyone. In this era of the "bottom line", manpower hours, performance, injuries, sick time, the need for employee counselling and company costs will improve! The only ingredients needed to succeed are integrity, willingness to self-examine and minimal effort to learn, absorb and put into practice leadership methods that are not difficult. Thanks, Detective III Rick Hoefel, Retired Los Angeles Police Department
