Description

When we embark on a healthy living program, we assume we’re going about this the right way. Unfortunately, injuries (and sometimes death) can happen unless we’re aware of a few simple concepts that can mean the difference between a successful health and fitness program – and one that can lead to disaster.
Before your next workout, read this book. You will undoubtedly find several nuggets of wisdom that will help you to prevent unwanted and unnecessary injury. Don’t wait until you are laid up with a stress fracture before educating yourself.
Hindsight used in the present tense is the act of practicing personal responsibility and awareness.
