Harriet Griffey

Our bodies are built for movement, but&#160;our modern lives mean that we spend much of our time in sedentary occupations, whether that&rsquo;s at our desks, commuting long distances by car or even just at home watching the television. Back aches, migraines, RSI and even digestion problems can all be caused or aggravated by long hours spent sitting. In&#160;Sit Strong, Harriet Griffey shows you what you can do to strengthen your body and improve flexibility to help counter the very real health risks caused by excessive sitting. Divided into five main&#160;areas &#160;&ndash; head and neck; shoulders and upper back; arms; lower back and bottom; and legs &ndash;&#160;each section provides a series of gentle, movement-based exercises, designed to target areas that can be badly affected. Illustrated throughout,&#160;these exercises can be easily combined and&#160;incorporated into a personalised routine and fitness plan. With advice on specialist help and alternative ways to stretch and strengthen,&#160;Sit Strong&#160;gives you everything you need to improve your overall health,&#160;posture and core strength.

Sit Strong

Everyday Exercises to Stretch and Strengthen Your Posture

Back in Action offers advice on all aspects of back pain and treatments that are available for it in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format. Clear line illustrations make explanations even easier to understand. Contrary to popular opinion, well-known physiotherapist Sarah Key maintains that most back pain is not caused by disc problems, but simply by joint stiffness. Manual manipulation reactivates the joints and improves flexibility, according to Key, which means that treatment using the hands is the most successful in relieving pain. Key's 'hands-on' method has put thousands of grateful patients back in action.

Do You Have Backache? This Book Will Put It Right

Izabella Wentz

No one has to accept bloating, cramping, urgency or pain as 'normal'. 
 
When clinical pharmacist Izabella Wentz was first diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, she was told her digestion was simply 'overly sensitive'. For years, she assumed everyone’s stomach hurt after eating. Like many people, she tried to live with the discomfort, until she discovered there were real, reasons for her symptoms that could be treated. 
 
In this ground-breaking guide, Dr Wentz shares her signature Root Cause approach to unravelling the mystery of IBS. While conventional medicine may label symptoms as 'IBS' and prescribe medication, Wentz reveals how this diagnosis is often a catch-all term that overlooks underlying imbalances that can be identified, addressed and resolved. For some, the root cause may be an enzyme deficiency. For others, it may be toxic exposures, bacterial overgrowth, food sensitivities, hidden infections and other rarely investigated causes. In this comprehensive and compassionate book, you’ll learn how to uncover the true source of your symptoms and create a personalised healing plan to restore your gut and your life. 
 
Inside, you’ll discover how to: 
 
-Understand what normal digestion really looks like 
-Identify potential root causes behind IBS symptoms 
-Explore testing options—from gluten intolerance and SIBO to enzyme function and triggering infections 
-Remove reactive foods and triggers with targeted nutrition strategies 
-Restore microbial balance 
-Rebuild digestive function with tailored supplements and lifestyle shifts 
-Manage symptoms gently while you work toward lasting healing 
 
Whether you’ve been struggling with IBS for years or were just diagnosed, this is your invitation to dig deeper, heal smarter and reclaim your energy, confidence, and well-being.

Susie Orbach

'Eating is pleasurable, eating is delicious, eating is sensual' says Susie. But for so many of us eating is associated with anguish and abstinence. From the first page this little book shows us how to think and feel differently about what we eat. So that we eat when we are hungry, eat what we want to eat to satisfy us and stop when we are full. Each page contains an easily absorbed bite-sized statement to transform eating that hurts into eating that nourishes and calms. This book isn't magic but it feels as if it is.

Peggy Brill

Peggy Brill understands that being a woman equals being busy, with the demands of family, career, friends, homemaking, commuting etc. etc.  Realistically the way we live isn't going to change but we can change how we use and take care of our bodies.  She believes the Core Programme is a daily investment for lifelong health.  The benefits include getting rid of aches and pains, beating tiredness, boosting day-long energy, building strength and stamina and looking and feeling good.  The Core Programme has been specifically evolved for women, unlike other fitness regimes designed for the male physique which may even damage women.  It will help build strength in the core of a woman's body: the neck, back, shoulders, pelvis, abdomen and hips.  Each exercise is illustrated with detailed photographs and reader self-tests throughout help women identify their own core needs and track improvement.  Dozens of case histories are included, illustrating both the common problems women face and the near-instant benefits of this simple programme.

Fifteen Minutes Excercise A Day That Can Change Your Life

The book takes the reader through the practice of remedial massage, the effects and benefits that arise from it, a guide to the human muscular system, basic massage techniques and more detailed treatment practices.

Lauren Roxburgh

There’s a new buzzword in the fitness world: fascia. It’s the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and organs and helps keep everything in place. But in our increasingly busy and often stressful lives, tension and toxins are often stored within our fascia, resulting in serious long-term consequences, such as excess weight, acute anxiety, chronic pain and poor posture. 
 Fitness and alignment expert Lauren Roxburgh – who has worked with such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Gabby Reece and Melissa Rauch – has the solution to keep your fascia supple, flexible and strong. Using only a foam roller, you can reshape and elongate your muscles, release tension, break up scar tissue and rid yourself of toxins for a leaner, younger look. In just 15 minutes a day, Roxburgh’s 21-day programme will guide you through a simple series of her unique rolling techniques that target 10 primary areas of the body, including the shoulders, chest, arms, legs, hips, bottom, back and stomach. The end result is a healthy, balanced, aligned body that not only looks but feels fantastic. Includes over 80 photographs to help guide you through the exercises.

Jan de Vries

Whatever you might call it - being overweight or corpulent or carrying excess fat - one thing is certain: obesity is one of the major problems of the developed world today. It is not simply a matter of being too fat: those who are severely overweight are prone to a tremendous range of other health problems such as back pain and coronary heart disease. In Realistic Weight Control Jan de Vries clearly and sensibly explains why these problems occur and how best to avoid them. Moreover, in view of the overwhelming variety of slimming methods on the market, each claiming to be better than the last, he points out the dangers to health caused by following an inappropriate diet.

A J Rochester

'I love food.  Even worse, I love junk food.  If lard could be double deep-fried I would eat it.  If I could deep-fry headache pills I would.  So it's no wonder I'm now the size of a small yet economically viable continent...'When A. J. Rochester is selected to feature in a television series on obesity, she is at first appalled and then resolved.  At 109 kilos (17 stone), she knows she needs to lose weight - not because she yearns to become a twiglet but so she can keep up with her little boy and turn her life around at last.  But after years of fighting a losing battle with the flab, A. J. knows she needs a miracle.  So she decides to ditch the 'quick-fix' diets and the faddy exercise equipment and try a new approach - one that involves discovering her own inner strengths.  It may not be easy - but it pays off. Confessions of a Reformed Dieter charts the highs, lows and plateaus of A. J.'s incredible journey, from overcoming an early setback - waking up in hospital with a broken leg after a drunken binge - to the triumph of shedding the first, and last, kilo.

During the course of thirty years of research, Dale Alexander unearthed groundbreaking evidence that the onset of arthritis can be directly related to a person's eating habits. 
 
He maintained that good nutrition - proper foods, consumed according to certain dietary rules - could bring relief to millions of arthritis sufferers. He was also certain that cod liver oil contains substances which help lubricate painful, swollen joints. 
 
In this revised edition of the bestselling Arthritis and Commonsense there is a re-evaluation of each chapter including recent research which both supports Dale Alexander's findings and shows how ahead of its time his work was.

Pauline Quirke

Pauline Quirke was a skinny child, a slim teenager, a curvy woman, then &shy;- according to her bathroom scales (curse them) - just plain fat. Yes, the 'F' word. Tipping the scales at nearly 20 stone, with creaking knees and a dodgy ankle to boot, at the beginning of 2011 Pauline had reached a crisis point. Something had to change, and fast. 
 
It was never going to be an easy ride, but with her trademark warmth and sense of humour, Pauline recounts the highs and lows of the rollercoaster year in which she whips herself, and her life, into shape - with a fair few tales from her celebrated forty-year acting career thrown into the bargain. She reveals all: from the strain of working long hours away from home on one of Britain's most popular soaps to renewing her wedding vows and reuniting with her Birds of a Feather co-stars; from battling the bulge and facing the naysayers to rediscovering the joys of airline travel . . . without a seatbelt extension. 
 
Honest and revealing, Where Have I Gone? is brimming with brilliantly funny anecdotes and truly moving moments. So put your feet up and join Pauline as she embarks on the most incredible year of her life.

Vonda Wright

*SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* 
 
'This is the book every woman needs not just in menopause, but well before.' – Kate Rowe-Ham, Menopause Fitness Expert and Author of Owning Your Menopause 
 
STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. 
 
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 
 
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. 
 
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:<ul><li>Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.</li><li>Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.</li><li>Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.</li><li>Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.</li></ul> 
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.

Despite a successful career in private equity, Liam found himself unfulfilled. The problem wasn’t his outer circumstances, but his inner state of mind. He left finance and trained with renowned meditation masters across the globe while also collaborating with leading neuroscientists to study advanced meditative states. 
The journey ultimately led him to ordain as a Buddhist monk, where he developed a highly effective method for achieving optimal mental fitness. This approach centres on four steps: Recognize, Release, Relish and Remain. Grounded in 2,500 years of contemplative wisdom and supported by modern science, this is a complete toolkit for beginners and experienced meditators alike. Readers will discover how to:

• Gain transformative insights into the workings of the mind 
• Experience durable shifts in perception, awareness, and well-being 
 
With Fit Mind, you can train an extraordinary mind amidst the demands of a busy life. Discover how a fit mind—one full of clarity, energy, tranquility, compassion, and joy—is both vital and accessible.

'A remarkable book' The Independent 
'... a revelatory read.' The Guardian 
 
What readers are saying: 
 
***** 'A lot more than just the diet Djokovic follows. It's about his whole approach to life' 
***** 'Revolutionised my diet. A year on, I feel like a different person and much healthier' 
 
In Serve to Win, Djokovic recounts how he survived the bombing of Belgrade, rising from a war-torn childhood to the top tier of his sport. He also reveals the diet that transformed his health and pushed him to the pinnacle. 
 
While Djokovic loved and craved bread, pasta and the pizza from his family's restaurant, he discovered that his body couldn't process wheat. 
 
A player once plagued by aches, breathing difficulties and injuries on court suddenly became the number-one tennis player in the world simply by changing what he ate. Eliminating gluten made him feel instantly better, clearer, lighter and quicker. His new physical health and mental focus enabled him to achieve his two childhood dreams: to win Wimbledon and to be ranked the world's number-one tennis player. 
 
He has gone on to win 22 Grand Slams, crediting his diet with making this possible. 
 
Djokovic challenges you to try his way of eating for just 14 days. He provides weekly menus and easy-to-prepare recipes that will help you lose weight and find your way to a better you. You don't need to be a professional athlete to start living and feeling better. A trimmer, stronger, healthier you is just two weeks away.

Novak Djokovic’s life story with diet, exercise and motivational tips

Jenni Murray

At sixty-four, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an Oscar-worthy performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of fear and misery that her weight would probably kill her before she made it to seventy. Interwoven with the science, social history and psychology of weight management, Fat Cow, Fat Chance is a refreshingly honest account of what it's like to be fat when society dictates that skinny is the norm. It asks why we overeat and why, when the weight is finally lost through dieting, do we simply pile the pounds back on again? How do we help young people become comfortable with the way they look? What are the consequences of the obesity epidemic for an already overstretched NHS? And, whilst fat shaming is so often called out, why is it that shouting 'fat cow' at a woman in the street hasn't been included in the list of hate crimes? Fusing politics, science and personal pain, this is a powerful exploration of our battle with obesity.
