YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THIN TO WIN

At six foot one, the author was 330 pounds when she committed herself to getting in shape. Now she's a marathon runner, triathlon participant, and TV fitness guru and, in this program, a marvelous teacher and motivator. She tells a personal story of shame and disappointment about her weight, but it's a story of achievement. It's about her whole self and her shared successes, rather than about escaping pain. Especially valuable is her advice about exercise, fitness programs, coaches, sports, goal-setting, nutritional eating, and exercise physiology. It's very thorough and delivered with a positive heart, especially the sections about overcoming negativity and developing good grocery-shopping habits. This is a wonderful success story that everyone will love. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
