Conservation Design for Subdivisions: A Practical Guide To Creating Open Space Networks

If you’re a personal trainer, you’ve heard them all before. If you’re a client, maybe you’ve dished them out. Regardless, here are a few common excuses . . . from Jeanne “Bean” Murdock’s latest book. “I’m too tired.” “I’m too sore.” “Not enough time.” “I’m on vacation.” –Oxygen Magazine, January 2007

It’s hard not to laugh at the seemingly legitimate and far-stretched excuses. Murdock rebuts each plea with tips, studies, plans, a glossary of nutritional terms, and a slap of reality with a hint of humor, detailing consequences of a life without exercise that include obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Murdock teaches the importance of exercise, even if you like yourself just the way you are (excuse #50). She says 30 minutes of exercise 5 to 6 times a week is do-able and enjoyable even if there’s a smog alert (excuse #55) or it’s “that time of the month” (excuse #198). –Colleen Corkery –Body Beautiful Magazine, October 2007

How often have you said to yourself (or someone else) that you can’t exercise because, “I have to work late” or “I ate too much.” Perfectly good reasons, right? Not to Jeanne “Bean” Murdock. . . If you’re exercising your verbal skills more than your body, this book might get you moving. –Gilda Swartz –Canadian Living Magazine, December 2006
