In 1997, after winning six Ironman Triathlons, Mark Allen retired from his career as a professional triathlete and joined the working world.  Until then, he had never understood the challenge of finding time in the day for work, family and fitness.  But as he and his wife Julie, also a professional triathlete and a new mother, learned there just never seemed to be enough hours in the day.  But fortunately, because their whole life had been devoted fitness, they endeavored to find a way to stay fit within the confines of this new lifestyle.  Workouts For Working People is their comprehensive recipe for fitness. They will help you define your current fitness status and determine what your fitness goals are.  Then they will explain how you can go out and accomplish them!

Included are ways to:

  Maximize your workouts and workout time
  Stretch effectively, efficiently, and consistently
  Enjoy your exercise program so that it's something that you enjoy, not that agonizing something that you do just so that you can check it off your to do list

  Make delicious food that works for you
  Focus your energy so that your exercise invigorates you and your life

Filled with inspiring anecdotes from their lives, this is not just a book filled with workout plans and nutritional schedules, although it the best ones available, it's a philosophy for living that Mark and Julie practice, and have tested on others who have all had dramatic results using it.
