I always try to stay up to date with fitness and nutrition info. I like to surf the web for new ideas- especially the sites in my blogroll… I read journals from the medical, fitness and nutritional fields to get a good mix of information. I go to conferences at least once a year to hear the best speakers in their field speak. But I always come back to books for a good bit of my information.
I’m a library nut. If I find a book that interests me I immediately jump online and see if my library has it. If not, I request it from another library and in a few days it’s delivered. I’ve saved so much money by doing this. If I hate a book, I’ve lost nothing and if I love it then I can go out and buy it.
I plan on building a recommended reading list for the site but I’m starting small and just mentioning what I’m currently reading. I encourage you all to post your favorite books about fitness, nutrition, wellness, etc. so we can learn from each other. So without further ado:
A great nutrition book that dispels diet myths and covers all aspects of eating. The information is scientifically based and the recommendations are easy for anyone to carry out.
Written by the coach of Annika Sorenstam, this golf book approaches the game from a more mental approach than others I’ve read. There is great discussion on planning before, during and after a round and some of the best practice routines I’ve ever come across. I can’ t wait to get to the driving range and try the drills.
A look at how everyday people turned their normal lives and careers into extraordinary ones. The author shows 3 similar traits that these successful people share with one another and how you can make similar changes in your life.
Remember- suggest some of your favorite reads!
