Book excerpt: The fitness program for those who don't want to aggravate old injuries-or risk new ones.For many, General Fitness is a perfectly acceptable goal. The benefits are numerous and established, and regular exercise is something you can do on your own behalf.But the hard-core images can get in the way. Bodybuilding, the combative sports, and extreme exercise can all produce impressive bodies, but impressive injuries as well. If staying injury-free is a major priority for you, these may not be the best influence on your workouts.Joint-Friendly Fitness is an approach to exercise that puts using your body safely first, above all other aspects of your program. It draws on anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology to determine how the muscles and joints work properly, and then applies that to exercise instructions. The goal is to get more fit, toned, and flexible while managing the risk of your workout itself causing an injury.Joint-Friendly Fitness is designed to avoid both the obvious injuries that happen during your workout, and the not-as-obvious wear and tear that leads to new injuries and chronic conditions. And what makes it The Optimal Exercise Program is that you can achieve the level of general fitness you desire, from looking better in clothes and moving without achy joints, to supporting your golf game or your 5ks, in the time and effort you have to devote to it.In this profusely illustrated manual, you will learn: How to use free weights, machines, cardio, and other exercises in a way that is more effective for conditioning yet easier on the joints. How your joints and muscles work most effectively, what their vulnerable positions are, and how to protect them during exercise. And how to organize your program for sustainable training with the intent of staying injury free. Strengthen your muscles, protect your joints, avoid injury...and benefit from exercise over a lifetime.

Book excerpt: “Dr. Sims realizes that female athletes are different than male athletes and you can’t set your race schedule around your monthly cycle. ROAR will help every athlete understand what is happening to her body and what the best nutritional strategy is to perform at her very best.”—Evie Stevens, Olympian, professional road cyclist, and current women’s UCI Hour record holder Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one. Because most nutrition products and training plans are designed for men, it’s no wonder that so many female athletes struggle to reach their full potential. ROAR is a comprehensive, physiology-based nutrition and training guide specifically designed for active women. This book teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training to your unique physiology so you can work with, rather than against, your female physiology. Exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy T. Sims, PhD, shows you how to be your own biohacker to achieve optimum athletic performance. Complete with goal-specific meal plans and nutrient-packed recipes to optimize body composition, ROAR contains personalized nutrition advice for all stages of training and recovery. Customizable meal plans and strengthening exercises come together in a comprehensive plan to build a rock-solid fitness foundation as you build lean muscle where you need it most, strengthen bone, and boost power and endurance. Because women’s physiology changes over time, entire chapters are devoted to staying strong and active through pregnancy and menopause. No matter what your sport is—running, cycling, field sports, triathlons—this book will empower you with the nutrition and fitness knowledge you need to be in the healthiest, fittest, strongest shape of your life.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Tomatoland test drives the most popular diets of our time, investigating the diet gurus, contradictory advice, and science behind the programs to reveal how we should—and shouldn’t—be dieting. “Essential reading . . . This will completely change your ideas about what you should be eating.”—Ruth Reichl, author of Save Me the Plums Investigative journalist Barry Estabrook was often on the receiving end of his doctor’s scowl. Realizing he had two options—take more medication or lose weight—Estabrook chose the latter, but was paralyzed by the options. Which diet would keep the weight off? What program could he maintain over time? What diet works best—or even at all? Over the course of three years, Estabrook tried the regimens behind the most popular diets of the past forty years—from paleo, keto, gluten-free, and veganism to the Master Cleanse, Whole30, Atkins, Weight Watchers—examining the people, claims, and science behind the fads, all while recording his mental and physical experience of following each one. Along the way, he discovered that all the branded programs are derived from just three diets. There are effective, scientifically valid takeaways to be cherry-picked . . . and the rest is just marketing. Perhaps most alarming, Estabrook uncovered how short-term weight loss can do long-term health damage that may go undetected for years. Estabrook contextualizes his reporting with an analysis of our culture’s bizarre dieting history, dating back to the late 1800s, to create a thorough—and thoroughly entertaining—look at what specific diets do to our bodies, why some are more effective than others, and why our relationship with food is so fraught. Estabrook’s account is a relatable, pragmatic look into the ways we try to improve our health through dieting, revealing the answer may be to just eat.
