Just in case my husband is reading this...and I am sending it to him this week...there are some new books out that look pretty good. Since I am sharing what I like I wanted to share this one with you. (If I get more time later today I will add a few more I want to sit down and read this summer).
Let's start with a swimmer who has been an inspiration to me since I was 14 and like me, still swims, unlike me, with A LOT more success in her 40's! Dara Torres has her new book out today, "Gold Medal Fitness, A revolutionary 5-week program" I can't wait to read it. Here is her websites and a little about her. http://www.daratorres.com/
Dara Torres; 5-time Olympic swimmer, mother, model, TV personality, and motivational speaker.
Since her first international race at the age of 14, Dara Torres has proven that she is far from your average athlete. Outside of swimming, Dara has made a name for herself as a TV commentator and a print model and was the first athlete to appear in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in 1994.
For the past year Dara Torres has successfully made her comeback in qualifying for the Beijing Olympic Games; the most ever for an American swimmer.
Here is a description of the book (available at all major booksellers)
In Gold Medal Fitness you'll find all of Torres's tips for getting back into the game and staying in shape for many years to come. Her unique combination of stretching and strengthening exercises both tone and elongate your muscles, leaving you with that perfectly sculpted and slender shape. And in this revolutionary 5-week program, she's adapted her workout plan for you!
Torres will take you step by step through a nutrition plan to prepare for the workouts. She'll walk you through the strengthening and stretching exercises, including the Ki-Hara method that has transformed her body. She'll give you hints on how to enjoy your cardiovascular activities. And, finally, she'll share her wisdom about rest and recovery and why it is as essential for your body as your training.
Whether you're looking to lose those last ten pounds or get back into a sport that you used to love, Gold Medal Fitness will produce the results that you want, reignite how you feel in your own skin, and change your lifestyle.
I have been so curious as to her stretching and strength workouts and now I can have them from her book. I just hope this motivates me to swim more...or will it motivate a coach to actually have a 9 AM swim practice that I am awake for?? Hmmm, must ponder that angle.
Finally, you can have her autograph is, just send a self addressed stamped envelope (so you get it back) to: Dara Torres c/o Tina Proctor 12441 Royal Palm Blvd. Coral Springs, FL 33065
