Are Those New Year's Resolutions Still in Shape?

You started off in a blaze of glory, jogging on New Year's Day, eating bran cereal for breakfast, maybe even remembering to gulp down a multi-vitamin. Now what? If your New Year's Resolutions included getting fit and eating healthier foods, the good folks at IDG Books recently published two guides that can help you keep those resolutions. "Healing Foods for Dummies" (IDG;1999;ISBN 0-7645-5198-1) is written by a registered dietician, Molly Sipple, who also has an M.S. in nutritional science. From how to stay healthy with "good food" to treating medical problems with healing foods to alternative nutritional systems such as Ayurveda, Sipple provides information that is easy to understand and follow. An unexpected and tasty bonus: delicious recipes are included in every chapter, such as Chicken Salad Pick-Me-Up and Wild Western Corn Bread. You'll abandon any feelings of deprivation once you've sampled these delicacies! The second edition of Fitness for Dummies (IDG;1999;ISBN 0-7645-5167-1) contains something for every body. Want to know more about kickboxing? Puzzled about Pilates? Debating about purchasing a fitness product? Authors Suzanne Schlosberg (a contributing editor to Health and Shape magazines) and Liz Neporent (a certified trainer with a Master's in exercise physiology) cover the full range of fitness. You'll learn how to test your fitness and design a cardio program, how to create a weight-lifting program that's right for your needs, staying flexible, exercising both at gym and at home, caring for injuries, and more.
