Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PBS fitness personality on Classical Stretch and creator of the fitness phenomenon Essentrics offers an eye-opening guide to anti-aging. Miranda Esmonde-White trains everyone from prima ballerinas to professional hockey players to Cerebral palsy patients: what do they all have in common? All of these people are hoping to heal their bodies, prevent further injury, and move optimally and without pain. In fact, they have the same goals as any of us who are trying to stay young, fit, and reverse the hands of time. Because the aging of our bodies occurs in our cells, it must be repaired there too—that’s where Miranda’s highly effective and sought-after techniques come in. The body is programmed to self-destruct as we age, but the speed at which it self-destructs is up to us. Recent scientific studies have proven this fact! In Aging Backwards, Miranda offers a groundbreaking guide on how to maintain and repair our cells, through scientifically designed workouts. Healthy cells prevent joint pain, muscle loss and weak bones—helping to control weight, increase energy, and improve strength and mobility. Miranda offers readers of all ages the tools they need to look and feel young. Complete with tips, tools, and her Eight Basic Age-Reversing Workouts accompanied by instructional photos and web clips, Aging Backwards will help you grow younger, not older! “If you’ve been meaning to start a fitness program but are put off by vigorous gym or yoga sessions, or if you’re hindered by joint or muscle pain, pick up this book.” —Zoomer

Download or read book How to Build Self Discipline to Exercise written by Martin Meadows and published by Meadows Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Build Self-Discipline to Exercise: Discover Proven Strategies to Finally Get in Shape and Exercise on a Regular Basis for the Rest of Your Life Everywhere you go, you see gyms, videos, and books about exercise, advertising how they can help you get in shape fast and easy. You’ve probably even put some money down before, vowing that THIS was the year you’d get in shape, lose that extra weight, and become the energetic person you know is hiding inside you. Unfortunately, life happens, and you fall into the habit of "I’ll start tomorrow." Your motivation drops, and your self-discipline fails to push you through to achieve your goals. You begin to make excuses: you’ll be really sore after working out, it’s been too long since you’ve last exercised, you don’t have willpower, your friends and family tell you to be happy with how you are, you think you’re too weak, inflexible or otherwise unfit for exercise, and many more. There was that one time you started a program, but you couldn’t keep up with the weekly or monthly goals, so you got frustrated and gave up. All of that has added up to make you think you’re incapable of starting and continuing an exercise program. You’re afraid you aren’t mentally or physically strong enough, but still hold out the hope that someday a magic pill will change all that. The magic exists today, but it’s not as easy or fast as swallowing a pill. However, it can be simple and enjoyable. How to Build Self-Discipline to Exercise is a concise, practical guidebook on how to introduce and keep exercise in your life. Inside, you’ll learn: - why the most common type of motivation people use to exercise is usually ineffective (and which types of motivation are much stronger) - the wrong "P" that will lead you to giving up when you face obstacles - how to overcome procrastination and finally start exercising – including a slightly uncomfortable trick that will ensure you’ll get plenty of exercise - how to find time to exercise despite a hectic schedule (and surprising math that shows you actually lose time when you don’t make time for exercise) - practical tricks and tips to stay motivated forever, even when you encounter obstacles - how to enjoy exercise while still getting the most powerful benefits of it (hint: if your workout involves "work," it’s not a good workout) - how to prevent injuries, improve recovery, and handle the inevitable muscle soreness so you stick to exercise even if your body acts against you - how to deal with other people, wrong expectations, and negativity (from both your surroundings and yourself in the form of self-criticism or self-doubt) When put together and acted upon, the six chapters in this book – supported by over 80 references to scientific studies and credible experts – will help you form a new habit and make one of the most important changes you'll ever make in your life.

Download or read book The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Guide to Women s Health written by Kathryn Cox and published by Hearst Communications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than ever, women are taking charge of their own health. No longer content to "let the doctor decide," they are demanding a say in picking the therapy or procedure that's best for them. Indeed, American women are envied around the world because they have so much control over their bodies." "With this newfound control comes the responsibility to be a truly informed partner in making important medical decisions. This means keeping abreast of new scientific developments and knowing what questions to ask or where to find the answers - no easy task given the sometimes overwhelming and often conflicting flood of medical information available through the media and other sources." "With this in mind, the editors of Good Housekeeping have created the Illustrated Guide to Women's Health, a timely and thorough text compiled by a team of medical experts. These highly respected specialists represent the spectrum of women's health concerns from internal medicine, endocrinology, rheumatology, breast surgery, and plastic and reconstructive surgery to psychiatry, occupational medicine, nutrition, and exercise physiology. Unlike general health books that concentrate heavily on male health issues, this book focuses solely on a woman's body, her medical needs, and the social issues she faces from adolescence to old age." "Like other books on women's health, it provides sound information and advice about pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation, menopause, and other facets of gynecologic health. But unlike most other books for women, it also addresses such topics as heart disease, occupational health hazards, stress management, and physical fitness - facets of health that are just as critical to women as to men." "There's also a full-color atlas of the female body and its various systems as well as an illustrated encyclopedia covering scores of disorders, diagnostic procedures, and treatments. Throughout, the text is written in clear, understandable language, supported by illustrations that make even the most complex material easily understandable. Above all, its tone is straightforward, non-political, and objective." "Regardless of which roles you fill as a woman - wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, employee - we think you'll agree that The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Guide to Women's Health is the one indispensable book designed to make you an informed partner in your own health care."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book What I Talk About When I Talk About Running written by Haruki Murakami and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
