Achieve a richer, more enjoyable life through exercise for better health and fitness.

Before cars, television, and the internet, people often got the exercise they needed through their daily life and recreation. Walking or cycling to work, manual labour and weekend sports all played a part.

While lifestyles have changed and staying fit takes more effort and creativity than it used to, it is still easy and achievable--and you don't need expensive gear or gym memberships to do it.

Here, veteran personal trainer Tom Law shows exactly how you can enjoy the benefits of regular exercise. If you haven't been keeping active because you don't know what exercises to do, how many or for how long, you will find the answers here. In plain language, Tom sets out essential facts like how much you should work out each week and what heart rate you should reach to improve your fitness. You'll learn exercises you can do without any special equipment, and a chapter by dietitian and physiologist Mitch Peterman will even show you how to eat healthily without dieting.

There's no time like the present to start or restart a regular exercise routine. Follow the recommendations here, get healthy and enjoy the fruits of living a better life.
