Shows you how to use Aerobic Exercise as a form of Meditation. Written especially for runners, it applies to all rhythmic sports. Meditators who believe that sitting still on a pillow is necessary to develop the mind will enjoy this new approach. People who haven't done much of either will find this an engaging introduction to both activities. A way to "cross train your brain."

Green's language is clear and simple, demonstrating directly what awareness is and how it differs from "thinking." She shows how to train your mind to stick to the moment – much as you train your muscles. You will discover how doing it in motion enhances awareness and adds a deeper sense of purpose to your workouts. You'll enjoy this engaging little book whether you are a seasoned athlete or an ex-couch potato just beginning to get fit. Having a better physique, faster times, and better muscles just aren't enough any more. A runner, a biker, or someone who works out at a health club, it is likely that you are also interested in understanding more about how your mind works, and in the spiritual question: "Is this all there is?"

What People Are Saying About This Best-Selling Book:

"I have been a distance runner since high school and college and wish that these recipes had been available back in those days.  As someone who is physically active, and diligent about maintaining good health, I know good advice when I read it and this book will be a great addition to my library." – W. Smith

"I'm not a runner. I'm a cyclist. I can see so many benefits in adding smoothies to my diet. I have to add that CJ Hitz writes in a very entertaining way. This book will not bore you." – Sandy Bose

"I have been a long time fan of natural foods and have a great collection of books on the subject, but none as fun to read as this one."  - Kat

"I had to laugh at some of the titles of the smoothie recipes and found his ideas on eating healthy to be refreshing! So, whether you run on a regular basis or not, I would suggest this creative resource with all of its healthy ideas." – G. Ebner

"I've been exercising for a long time, but it was refreshing to read which specific berries and combinations of fruits and vegetables can help you after a hard run to keep down inflammation instead of reaching for ibuprofen." – Kristie

"This is an excellent book, even if you don't run, cycle or play sport. But you might find you're so full of energy after drinking some of these smoothies that you'll want to get out and run anyway." – Roy

Description:

Smoothie. Doesn't that word just roll off the tongue nicely? 

The smoothie has to be one of the greatest inventions (or accidents) in the world of food. But for the runner, it can be one of our best friends. A smoothie can be the perfect recovery food after a long run, provide fuel before a workout and offer a quick and nutritious meal on the go.

CJ Has Been a Big Fan of Smoothies For Years

Not only are there endless combinations that taste great, but these same combinations can do wonders for your health. In every smoothie CJ makes, at least one fruit is listed in the ingredients. Some will have more. But in his humble opinion, when you remove fruit, you no longer have a smoothie on your hands.

What You'll Get:

Plus, a special bonuses at the end!

CJ looks forward to exploring the world of smoothies with you as we seek to give our bodies what they truly crave both before and after a run.

A guide to jogging and running and related benefits and cautions.

A jogging handbook. It renews Arthur Lydiard's philosophy of jogging, just as it was 40 years ago. It is a guide to why you should jog, if you are not jogging already; how you jog, or jog better if you jog already; and how it holds back the degeneration that does not necessarily have to accompany the advancing years. Lydiard argues that jogging will not stop you growing older but it will help you to grow older more gracefully and with less loss of both physical and mental mobility.

Learn how to jog at last! Whether this is the first time you try running, or you have tried in the past with no success, this guide will teach you about exercise and training in an easy and unencumbered way. Learn how to pace yourself at your own pace. You will not believe that you can run.
