The Virgin Active Beginner's Guide to Walking Jogging and Running (Paperback)

The focus of this title is towards exercise for health, social, enjoyment and weight-loss reasons, and not on being competitive. However, clear exit points are identified for those who wish to progress from participation towards performance orientated exercise. Key aspects of the title: Discussion on type and timing exercise; the role of nutrition; a step by step training schedule; the myths and truths of weight loss. Sections on heart rate and pulse monitoring, shoes, equipment, nutrition and even a special section looking at the needs of the women exercisers, make this the starting point and reference manual for anyone who exercises for health, social, weight-loss or simply enjoyment.
