  Quote of the Week
""No matter how much knowledge you've got, you've got to eventually find out about yourself, about your own body, its moods, its habits, its likes, its dislikes, its strengths and weaknesses. ... You have to find your limit. The marathon is brutal." ~ Jerome Drayton, Canadian marathon record holder.

  Book/Video of the Month - May 2008
The Exercise Balance: What's Too Much, What's Too Little, and What's Just Right for You!
by Pauline Powers (Author), Ron Thompson (Author)

Book Description
Healthy exercise means finding a balance between overtraining and inactivity. By using a combination of clinical studies and real-life examples, this book shows readers how to develop their own personal prescription for discovering that balance. Written by two specialists in the field of eating disorders, it details both ends of the exercise continuum, from compulsive exercisers who push their bodies to the limit to people with little or no physical activity in their daily lives. The authors explain the psychological and health issues that can result from compulsive exercise — including bone loss, fractures, amenorrhea, and unhealthy eating. They also cover the problems arising from inadequate exercise and provide ways that ill people can safely implement fitness programs. The book is not a weight-loss guide; instead, it emphasizes the importance of proper exercise, offering readers of all sizes, ages, and health levels practical solutions for changing their routines and finding a healthy exercise balance.
