A must read for anyone who hopes to expand their health horizons! - Tessa Willberg, Chiropractor and author of Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder A deeply insightful book, with a profound message at its core. Cuan combines his vast experience as an accomplished physician and elite athlete to demonstrate why exercise is better than cure. Herein lies a story with unparalleled advice on the simple and effective changes we can all make to improve the health of our bodies, minds, and lives. Told by the most compassionate of voices, Cuan includes countless real-life stories which exemplify his message: some that will bring you to fits of laughter, others to tears. Compulsory reading for all of us in today's static age (and best undertaken whilst standing up!) - Brett Le Roux Such a brilliant book, incredibly insightful and motivational. Cuan combines his own experiences as an athlete and a physician as well as his personal struggles and triumphs. I finished the book in 2 days because I couldn't put it down. A few times while reading I got the urge to get out of my seat (sitting is the new smoking, eek!) and move! I highly recommend this book, it's funny and easy to read as well as very educational and inspiring. I know I'm going to be referring back to the book again and again for years. - Siddy Holloway, Author of Hidden London

This running workbook allows you to practice mindfulness in your everyday routine, whether you prefer an afternoon stroll or a morning jog. Movement is medicine. Letting your mind wander as you take a long walk, a slow jog, or a brisk run can give you a powerful, uplifting feeling. Some call it a runner’s high, others attribute it to endorphins. In this interactive workbook, psychotherapist William Pullen teaches you how to channel that exhilarating energy and use it to make positive change in your life. This radical new approach to obtaining the benefits of mindfulness originates in the body itself. Using a combination of mindfulness, focused questions, and exercise, Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) has proven to be a simple, intuitive, effective, and therapeutic method for managing stress, trauma, anxiety, anger, depression, and other conditions. With carefully tailored thought exercises to be implemented while on a run or walk, DRT brings the mind into perfect harmony with the body through the healing experience of mindful running.

In Functional Exercise Prescription, Eyal Lederman presents a revolutionary new approach for exercise prescription that uses the individual's own movement repertoire. The book demonstrates how daily activities (the life gym) can be amplified to provide the necessary movement challenges to support movement rehabilitation in many musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Hence, all activities can become remedial without the need to prescribe unfamiliar exercise; in other words, 'how to exercise without exercise' or 'how to rehabilitate without exercise'. People recover from most musculoskeletal and pain conditions through three key processes: repair, adaptation, and alleviation of symptoms. The author explains how to identify the individual's recovery process and how to select the appropriate daily or sporting activities, and, how they can be modified to support recovery. Functional Exercise Prescription is a dramatic departure from the traditional strength and conditioning models that have been used for rehabilitation. The book explores the limitation of these models and explains how they can be replaced by functional daily activities ('functioncise'). It provides the practitioner with practical tools to construct a tailor-made plan for each individual to help expedite and optimize their recovery. Most rehabilitation can be constructed from a small familiar set of daily or sports activities. All human physical activity is exercise. Life is your gym.
