Born To Run: The Hidden Tribe, The Ultra-Runners, And The Greatest Race The World Has Never Seen
By Christopher McDougall
P595
At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world. In 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world’s top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe’s secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner.
The Women’s Health Big Book Of 15-Minute Workouts: A Leaner, Sexier, Healthier You — In 15 Minutes A Day
By Selene Yeager
P1,189
Time is every woman’s most precious commodity and a lack of it is the number one reason, in survey after survey, that women give for why they don’t exercise. But research now shows that as little as 15 minutes of resistance training is just as effective in spiking one’s metabolism, as a workout lasting more than twice as long. All it takes is 15 minutes to achieve lifelong results, and women are more likely to stick to an exercise plan if it’s chopped down to those 15 minutes. The Women’s Health Big Book of 15-Minute Workouts is both an introduction to the fundamentals of short workouts and a comprehensive collection of hundreds of the most effective ones. These workouts have been designed for every fitness goal — from total body conditioning to targeting trouble spots with exercises, like the 15 Minute Flat-Belly-without-a-Single-Crunch Workout.
