Overview

"Training for Life: A Prescription for Fitness, written by gym owner and fitness coach Hernani Ourique, lives up to its title, focusing on the steps to getting healthy and staying fit for the long term. Unlike the myriad ""exercise"" books in the marketplace, the aim of this guide is not to transform readers into ultra-marathoners or gym rats. The core focus of Training for Life is to help readers to start building better habits that fit their personal lifestyle. The key goal is maintain a healthy lifestyle, one that promotes movement, whether you're eighteen or eighty. Ourique's expertise, coupled with a scientific and common-sense approach, results in an easy-to-read and non-intimidating guide, covering topics from improving strength and range of motion to setting goals and managing stress, diet, and sleep. Each chapter is complemented with reader exercises (both physical and mental) geared at getting people moving, with the long-term goal of training for life."
