Let’s face it, none of us is perfect, and the time we are most aware of that fact is often when we look into a mirror. In a world where beautiful people are apparently everywhere (even if it’s on television of magazine covers rather in our day-to-day life) it’s easy to be self-critical.
Fitness is a key issue for many people. Whether it’s for better health or a better appearance, we understand that exercise is crucial. And if we already knew how to start an effective exercise regime, we’d be doing it already, right? Since we don’t we look for pointers to get started. Some are short, sensible articles like this one – 3 Things Every Exercise Program Should Have

The Audiobook format is, of course, ideal for fitness-oriented topics since you can work out while listening rather than simply reading a traditional book.

Like most effective self-help articles, it doesn’t dwell on the chemistry of food science, but comes with specific tips that the reader can use right away. That’s a key element in providing information – it has to be immediately practical.
At the same time, merely eating better won’t tone your body or help your heartrate. And owning the books won’t do anything, if all you do is own books!
