"This fresh, lively, and always entertaining book is more than a guide to jogging.
It is an act of gentle persuasion to a healthy lifestyle. We cannot recommend it
highly enough to anyone who wants to escape the clutches of laziness and do
something for his or her physical fitness."

Hey! Jogging is easy!

Your Personal Trainer

"Here I am, smack in the middle of your snug corner. I'm afraid you're not getting rid of me too quickly either. In fact, we're keeping each other company for the next six months. Every now and again we'll go jogging together. Since an awful lot of people give up in frustration at the very outset, I'm going to concentrate on what it takes to get started.

In no time at all you're going to like running. You'll want to run often, I promise you. And soon you'll be enjoying benefits that have made hundreds of thousands of joggers delightfully happy. If, on the other hand, you're not going to be won over by the prospect of feeling much better physically, mentally more relaxed or quite a bit more selfconfident, and if you're of the opinion that anyone who makes such propositions is more of a nuisance than a help, kindly place me back on the shelf."

This book is different from many other jogging guides. It is written for everybody, male and female, not just for the young sprites with ideal body weights who have no trouble taking up running one day and being in top shape the next.
