Back Jacket
We've all been there--you're so crazy busy that you put yourself at the bottom of your to-do list. Author Carolee Belkin Walker knows what that feels like--you could fit two of her inside what her body looked like in February 2014. But instead of burying her head in the sand (or in a box of cookies) she dug down deep and started the journey that led to her own personal fitness revolution. Walker's Getting My Bounce Back will inspire you, no matter where you are in your life, to find your inner buoyancy and embark on some serious self-care. With her trademark mix of wit and wisdom, Walker will have you laughing your way through it all as you rediscover your personal confidence and resilience. Even if you've never put on a pair of running shoes, or tried again and again to get into a fitness habit, you'll relate to the highs and lows of Walker's journey to the back of the pack--ultimately stumbling on a path to resilience and well-being. If you want to be an active participant in life and not merely an observer--at any age--but don't know where to start, or even re-start, this book is for you. In these pages you'll find: - Music playlists that will inspire you to get moving - Easy recipes brimming with feel-good ingredients - Tips from Reuel Tizabi, Walker's trainer - How to fit exercise into a busy schedule and why it matters - Tips on exercising even when you've got issues
