Workouts for Working People
Author: Mark Allen
Publisher: Three Rivers Press
ISBN: 9780375752704
Category : Exercise
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In "Iron Fitness" Mark and his wife Julie, a 3 time Iron Man champion and mother, present a new way of staying in shape while staying employed. This book will help readers define their current fitness, fitness goals and then will provide a plan to help them achieve their goals through maximizing their workouts. Mark and Julie are scientific about the way they work out (as evidenced by their almost perfect anatomies) and in "Iron Fitness" they take the reader through every stage -- from aerobic, anaerobic exercise, stretching, strength and endurance exercises (yes, they're different!) to diet and the use of meditation as a means for motivation and sustenance (especially those bad days at the gym). Filled with inspiring anecdotes from their lives, this is not just a book filled with workout plans and nutritional schedules (although it has them) -- it's a philosophy for living that Mark and Julie practice, have tested on others who have had dramatic results and are providing so that others may subscribe and benefit from.

Working Out Desire
Author: Sertaç Sehlikoglu
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815655053
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Working Out Desire examines spor meraki as an object of desire shared by a broad and diverse group of Istanbulite women. Sehlikoglu follows the latest anthropological scholarship that defines desire beyond the moment it is felt, experienced, or even yearned for, and as something that is formed through a series of social and historical makings. She traces Istanbulite women’s ever-increasing interest in exercise not merely to an interest in sport, but also to an interest in establishing a new self—one that attempts to escape from conventional feminine duties—and an investment in forming a more agentive, desiring, self. Working Out Desire develops a multilayered analysis of how women use spor meraki to take themselves out of the domestic zone physically, emotionally, and also imaginatively. Sehlikoglu pushes back against the conventional boundaries of scholarly interest in Muslim women as pious subjects. Instead, it places women’s desiring subjectivity at its center and traces women’s agentive aspirations in the way they bend the norms which are embedded in the multiple patriarchal ideologies (i.e. nationalism, religion, aesthetics) which operate on their selves. Working out Desire presents the ways in which women's changing habits, leisure, and self-formation in the Muslim world and the Middle East are connected to their agentive capacities to shift and transform their conditions and socio-cultural capabilities.

168 Hours
Author: Laura Vanderkam
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 159184410X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices- taking time out from other things in order to fit it all in. There has to be a better way...and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. Vanderkam shows that with a little examination and prioritizing, you'll find it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter.
