Product Description

WOMAN'S OWN MAGAZINE, 2003
If you're serious about burning calories and fat grab a copy of Anita Bean's book, Fitness on a Plate. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
This has become the standard text for novice glider pilots and for their instructors. It provides an all-round picture of the sport, and is concerned not only with instructions but also with any difficulties and problems a newcomer may experience. The author explains clearly the techniques of gliding, how to learn them, and also how they should be taught. In particular, he stresses the importance of good communication between instructor and pupil. This edition contains the latest information concerning flying the circuit and learning to land, as well as a new chapter on winch launching.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Feast Of Useful Information, 4 Jun 2009
The number of books on fitness and healthy eating is overwhelming, so there has to be a good reason to recommend any one in particular.

My recommendation of this book is based on its simplicity: it sets out very clearly that fitness comes from eating the right foods in the right amounts, and by exercising correctly and consistently. It's written by sports nutritionist who is also a sportswoman, and is 100% free from cranky dieting information.

If you are a gym addict, a runner, swimmer or cyclist, there's information here for you, conveniently broken down into what you should be eating and drinking before, during and after training.

Meal advice and menu tips are combined with helpful information on protein powders and sports drinks, and the book also gives some good examples of training regimes for a variety of sports.

In contrast to many other books on the market, Fitness on a Plate gives a realistic and achievable overview of how the active sportsman or sportswoman can achieve a balanced diet in the midst of a busy working week.

Strongly recommended!
