Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted anxiety and depression, Mackie found herself unable to get off the sofa, until the day she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. That first attempt didn't last long, but she was back out the next day, gradually setting herself small, achievable goals: running 5k in under 30 minutes, walking to work for a week, ten push-ups in a row. With hilarious, unfiltered honesty, and help from doctors, psychologists and friends, she shows how exercise became her medicine, without giving up booze, cigarettes or ice cream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJog On Journal is the practical companion to the memoir. Bella Mackie isn't your average coach, she's much swearier, and she's never going to hand you a nutrition plan or join you on a marathon. Instead, drawing on insights from athletes and psychologists, the journal takes readers on a step-by-step journey from the sofa to the open road, with achievable goals, space for reflection, and calming strategies for managing anxiety, panic attacks and intrusive thoughts along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBestselling memoir paired with a hands-on, guided journal for real, actionable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten with warmth, humour and zero judgement about diet or performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on real input from doctors, psychologists, athletes and friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for anyone starting a running or fitness journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTackles mental health, anxiety and depression through an achievable, exercise-based lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set, great value for two complementary titles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBella Mackie is a British journalist and author who has written for The Guardian, Vogue and Vice.

Written with journalist Steve Friedman, it blends memoir, training insight, and original recipes into one of the most influential endurance-sport books of recent years. Endure, by researcher and journalist Alex Hutchinson, takes a more scientific lens, tracing decades of research into human limits, from early muscle-fatigue experiments through to modern brain-imaging studies. Hutchinson argues that perceived effort, mindset, and the brain's interpretation of distress signals matter as much as raw physiology when athletes push past what they believed possible. The Rise of Superman, by science writer Steven Kotler, turns to action and adventure sports, examining how surfers, big-wave riders, and BASE jumpers have redefined the limits of human achievement. Kotler investigates the neuroscience of \"flow,\" the ultimate performance state, and asks what elite athletes can teach the rest of us about focus and risk.

Designed for anyone who wants visible results without a gym membership or complicated meal prep, it pairs 60 low-calorie smoothie recipes with four 15-minute ab-sculpting sessions a week, making it an easy addition to a busy lifestyle and a popular pick within the wider \"Skinny\" calorie-counted series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis paperback plan combines two proven tools for a leaner midsection and better overall wellbeing.

Every workout takes just 15 minutes and comes with clear, simple instructions and diagrams for each exercise, so there is no guesswork about form or technique. No special equipment is required — just bodyweight moves that can be done at home, making the plan realistic for parents, students, shift workers, or anyone short on time. The combination of nutrition and targeted exercise is the book's key strength: rather than relying on diet alone or workouts alone, it links the two so smoothies fuel the effort put into each session and the sessions, in turn, help tone and strengthen the abs.

Structured around seven progressive stages — Freedom Awaits, The Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual Body, The Divine Body, and Living in Freedom — the book gives shape to Iyengar's lifetime of insight, translating ancient philosophy into practical, applicable wisdom. Each section builds on the last, guiding the reader from foundational postural work through breathwork and subtle energy, into the territory of focus, discernment, and ultimately a sense of higher consciousness. Unlike Iyengar's earlier, more technical writing, this book weaves in autobiographical reflection, offering a personal window into the discipline behind his teaching. The result functions both as a manual for practice and a philosophical companion — equally valuable for a beginner and a long-standing teacher alike.

Rather than following a single fixed pattern, readers flip through split pages to combine a head, a pair of arms, and a pair of legs from dozens of options, instantly generating a brand-new monster design each time. Every creature is worked in one piece from the top down, so there's no fiddly seaming at the end, making the projects approachable even for first-time crocheters. Alongside the flip pattern pages sit 30 pages of vivid colour photography showcasing finished monsters in a rainbow of colourways, stripes, spots, and scales, giving endless inspiration for your own creations. The book also walks through the essential techniques needed, from foundational stitches to shaping, colour changes, and attaching sew-on extras like horns, wings, eyes, and hair, so confidence builds naturally as you progress. It's a format that rewards experimentation: no two monsters ever need to be the same, and the flip-book mechanism turns pattern-following into a genuinely playful, tactile experience. Whether building a themed monster collection or simply exploring new stitch combinations, this book offers a constantly renewing source of creative challenges packed into 96 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver a million possible monster combinations from mix-and-match flip pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral binding keeps the book open flat at your working page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginner-friendly, top-down, one-piece construction with no seaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 pages of colour photography for colourway and styling inspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step guidance covering all essential crochet techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA durable, giftable format built to withstand repeated use in a craft library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKerry Lord is the founder and creative director of TOFT, a British luxury yarn brand born from the family-run Toft Alpaca Stud farm.

Across 256 pages, readers are guided from their very first tentative steps outside through to building a sustainable, realistic running habit, with prompts designed to build both physical confidence and emotional resilience. Inside, the journal helps readers gain a new awareness of mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression, cope with side effects like panic attacks and intrusive thoughts, and learn calming strategies including breathing exercises. Practical checklists cover everything needed to get started, while flexible weekly planning pages support a realistic running schedule built around the reader's own targets, not someone else's. Packed with insights drawn from athletes and psychologists, the journal balances genuine encouragement with honest acknowledgement of how hard starting can be, making it feel achievable rather than intimidating.

In The Oxygen Advantage, McKeown draws on his years of experience as a Buteyko practitioner and breathing coach to elite athletes, asthma sufferers and everyday readers to build a programme grounded in physiology rather than fads. The book explains how reduced-breathing exercises can simulate the effects of high-altitude training, improving the body's tolerance to carbon dioxide and boosting oxygen delivery to muscles and organs. Readers are guided through simple self-assessment tools, including the well-known BOLT (Body Oxygen Level Test) score, to measure their own breathing efficiency before progressing through a structured series of exercises. McKeown explains, in accessible language backed by research, why nasal breathing outperforms mouth breathing, why over-breathing undermines fitness and calm, and how correcting these habits can ease asthma symptoms, snoring, stress and poor sleep. Case studies from athletes and everyday readers show how small changes to breathing mechanics bring noticeable gains in stamina, focus and recovery. The result is a practical, evidence-based manual that turns an overlooked daily habit into a powerful tool for transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step breathing exercises backed by scientific research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the BOLT score self-assessment to track your progress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechniques used by elite athletes, military personnel and asthma sufferers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce breathlessness, anxiety and sleep problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical, jargon-free guidance suitable for total beginners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, ideal for fitness enthusiasts and gift-giving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPatrick McKeown is Director of Education and Training at Buteyko Clinic International and at Oxygen Advantage®, organisations dedicated to breathing re-education for health and athletic performance.

He recalls attempting an ultra-marathon in Paris backwards, having missed the start entirely, and heading to Wales to tackle the world's hardest mountain race on a badly sprained ankle. Most memorably, he follows in ancient footsteps to attempt the legendary 153-mile Spartathlon, one of the oldest and toughest footraces on earth. Along the way, Vassos draws on conversations with some of the biggest names in ultra-running, including Scott Jurek, Jasmin Paris, Kilian Jornet, Mimi Anderson and Dean Karnazes, all of whom testify to the strange, addictive power of endurance sport. Far from a dry training manual, this is a warm, funny, deeply human exploration of why anyone would choose to run further, harder and longer than seems remotely sensible. It captures the highs that come from pushing past perceived limits, the quiet confidence built through struggle, and the community spirit that binds ultra-runners together, whatever the distance or terrain. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner, a couch-to-5k beginner, or simply curious about what compels people to run through the night across mountain ranges, this book offers both inspiration and a very good laugh.

Rather than promising overnight miracles, the book lays out a structured twelve-week journey covering training splits, progressive overload, nutrition fundamentals and the mindset shifts required to stick with a plan long enough to see it through. Mitchell draws on the methods used with clients at Ultimate Performance, a gym chain known for delivering dramatic, photograph-worthy transformations, translating those principles into a format anyone can follow at home or in a standard gym. The book is refreshingly honest about the effort required, while making clear that extreme diets, gimmicks and expensive supplements are not the answer. Instead readers get a sensible framework: eat well, train hard and consistently, and track progress so motivation is sustained by visible results rather than willpower alone. Chapters build progressively, walking the reader from initial assessment and goal-setting through to advanced techniques for breaking plateaus in later weeks.

Alongside the workouts, the book includes a full nutrition section packed with nourishing, energising recipes designed to fuel training and support recovery, rather than restrict or punish. Each exercise is illustrated with clear photography, so readers can check form and progress with confidence whether they are total beginners or already active. The pacing is deliberately realistic: workouts are structured to fit around busy lives, with built-in recovery so that progress feels achievable rather than exhausting. Rather than presenting fitness as a short-term fix, the book frames the 28 days as the start of a long-term, positive relationship with exercise, strength and flexibility.

What began as a Basque country bar tradition — a trolley laden with premium gins, artisan tonics, and an array of botanical garnishes — has become the national drink of Spain, and Gin Tonica captures that spirit in one gorgeously photographed collection. Rather than a simple two-ingredient pour, the Spanish gin tonica is treated as a considered ritual: dense, slow-melting ice, a spritz of citrus oil on a chilled oversized balloon glass, and a delicately poured tonic, all designed to release the drink's full aromatic potential. David T. Smith guides readers through 40 recipes that pair specific gins with complementary tonics, bitters, herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits chosen to enhance each gin's unique botanicals. Whether you're a seasoned home bartender or a curious newcomer, this hardback distils the craft of the perfect gin tonica into approachable, replicable steps — proving that for a drink with only two core ingredients, the flavour possibilities are genuinely staggering. It's a celebration of patience, presentation, and the growing world of premium gins and tonics, bottled into one indispensable reference for any home bar shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 curated recipes for authentic Spanish-style gin and tonic cocktails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by David T.

Claire Arrowsmith draws on her background in applied animal behaviour to present a structured programme of games and puzzles that challenge a dog's problem-solving skills, sharpen focus, and encourage calm, confident behaviour. Activities range from simple scent-work exercises and hide-and-seek style puzzles to more advanced impulse-control and cooperative games, all explained with clear step-by-step instructions and accompanying colour illustrations throughout the 160 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is organised so that owners can progress at their own pace and their dog's pace, starting with foundation activities before moving on to trickier challenges.

Packed with calorie-counted, macronutrient-balanced recipes, this paperback guide helps you fuel muscle growth, strip away body fat, and finally get shredded without resorting to bland, repetitive \"bodybuilder food\".

No amount of cardio or heavy lifting will get you the physique you want if your nutrition doesn't match your training effort. This cookbook breaks down exactly how to eat to repair and build muscle, create the calorie deficit needed to burn fat, and avoid the common mistakes that lead to unwanted fat gain when \"bulking\". Rather than another generic diet plan, CookNation's approach is built around matching realistic, delicious recipes to your specific training goal, so healthy eating becomes something you look forward to rather than a chore you dread. Inside you'll find a well-organised collection of calorie-counted meals with clear macronutrient breakdowns, making it easy to track protein, carbohydrate and fat intake without needing a nutrition degree. The recipes are designed to be quick to prepare, affordable, and satisfying, proving that eating for performance doesn't mean sacrificing flavour. From high-protein breakfasts to muscle-fuelling mains, every recipe is built around the same principle: give your body the right building blocks, at the right time, and let the results follow. It's a book for people serious about their training who want their kitchen to work as hard as their gym sessions do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalorie-counted recipes with clear macronutrient breakdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for bulking, cutting, or maintaining phases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple, affordable meals that don't sacrifice on taste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the nutrition science behind muscle growth and fat loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, perfect gift for gym-goers and fitness fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCookNation is a leading publisher of practical, no-nonsense cookbooks designed for real people with real goals, from busy families to dedicated athletes.

Throughout, Sharon offers her own tried-and-tested tips, favourite tools, and preferred products, helping readers avoid common beginner mistakes and achieve professional-looking results from the outset.

Clear photography and diagrams accompany the instructions throughout, making the book easy to follow even for those who have never picked up a needle and thread before.

Every exercise is bodyweight-only, meaning no dumbbells, resistance bands or gym equipment are required, so the plan can be followed at home, in a hotel room, or even outdoors. The workouts are also scalable, allowing complete beginners and experienced athletes to follow the same structure at an intensity that suits their own fitness level. Alongside the training plan, the book includes detailed form guides for each movement to help readers exercise safely and effectively, plus bonus tips designed to help maximise progress and avoid common mistakes. Nutrition is also covered in depth, with clear, jargon-free advice on calories, key nutrients, food choices for fat loss, and the role that drinks and sports nutrition products play in body composition.

Each stage is explained with clear, step-by-step instructions and sensible modifications, so exercises can be adapted to individual ability and goals rather than followed rigidly.

Readers dealing with common physical complaints will find focused material on osteoarthritis, back pain and knee injuries, with modifications designed to protect vulnerable joints while still building strength and mobility. The book also looks beyond the studio, showing how Pilates principles translate into the gym, the workplace, and the demands of performing arts and sport. This breadth reflects the authors' backgrounds: Lynne Robinson is the founder of Body Control Pilates, an internationally recognised teaching method, and her practical, research-informed approach runs throughout.

This handbook distils that same spirit into achievable, home-friendly projects. Karen Farrington draws on the expertise and ethos of the show's craftspeople to answer the questions we all quietly wonder about: how do you replenish the stuffing in a much-loved teddy bear or sagging cushion? How do you lift a water mark from a wooden tabletop, or stop a favourite leather bag from cracking with age? Rather than requiring specialist tools or workshop skills, the book focuses on simple, sensible techniques using materials most people already have to hand. It covers furniture, textiles, leather, ceramics and metalware, organised so you can find a solution for the item in your hallway or attic. Throughout, the tone mirrors the programme itself - patient, encouraging, and rooted in respect for craftsmanship over disposable consumerism. It's a book for menders of every skill level, whether restoring a childhood toy or simply making things last longer. Presented as a smart, durable hardback, it's designed to be kept on a shelf and returned to as new repair jobs arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficial tie-in book to the hit BBC series The Repair Shop, with a foreword by Jay Blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical, step-by-step fixes for furniture, textiles, leather, toys and keepsakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses everyday materials and techniques - no specialist workshop required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the show's warm, restorative ethos of \"make do and mend\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback edition built to be a lasting reference on the shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for DIY lovers, crafters, and fans of the series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKaren Farrington is an experienced non-fiction author and journalist who has written widely on history, popular culture and television tie-in subjects.

A dedicated Practicalities chapter covers the maintenance jobs every new gardener needs to master, including pruning, composting, watering, weeding and dealing with common pests and diseases. Throughout, the RHS's trusted, evidence-based advice is paired with DK's clear photography, diagrams and step-by-step visual instructions, so you always know exactly what to do next and why. Rather than overwhelming beginners with everything at once, the book is structured to build skills gradually — starting with quick wins that deliver visible results, then layering in the knowledge needed for long-term success.

Part Two turns that science into action with a full set of recipes: nutrient-packed breakfasts, energy-boosting light meals, hearty recovery-focused main meals, portable snacks for busy training days, and even treats such as a potted lemon cheesecake. Renee McGregor draws on her experience working with elite athletes across multiple Olympic and Paralympic cycles to explain how to balance carbohydrates, protein and fat, time meals around training sessions, and shop and prep food efficiently.

This book traces his extraordinary rise from a teenager released by Sheffield Wednesday to a non-league striker earning just £30 a game for Stocksbridge Park Steels while working an exhausting factory job that nearly broke his back. Frank Worrall, an experienced football journalist and biographer, charts every twist of Vardy's journey: a low point that saw him wearing an electronic curfew tag after an incident outside a pub, the record-breaking non-league transfer fee that took him to Leicester, and the sensational scoring streak that smashed Premier League records and helped fire Leicester to an impossible title.

Structured as one long, escalating challenge, the book invites a single reader (or a household of competing \"players\") to follow a trail of increasingly bizarre instructions in pursuit of a hidden prize. It is playful, inventive, and unmistakably Taskmaster in tone, delivering the show's blend of absurd creativity and gentle competitive pressure in book form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten by Taskmaster creator Alex Horne, this paperback turns the hit Channel 4 show into an interactive reading (and doing) experience. Rather than simply describing tasks, the book sets its reader an actual ongoing challenge: solve a sequence of 101 tasks and clues, each one nudging you closer to tracking down \"The Taskmaster's Head\". Some tasks can be completed on the sofa; others send you out into the real world, sideways-thinking through riddles, wordplay, and classic Taskmaster-style misdirection. It captures the show's spirit perfectly — favouring lateral thinking and good humour over speed or physical skill, rewarding the kind of contestant logic fans of the series will instantly recognise. At 256 pages, there is plenty of material here, whether tackled solo or shared as an ongoing family competition. The tone throughout is wry, warm, and very British, echoing Horne's own voice from the show, with tasks written with the same mischievous attention to loopholes that has made Taskmaster a cult favourite. It appeals equally to devoted fans wanting more Taskmaster content and to newcomers who enjoy inventive brain-teasers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e101 original tasks and clues written by Taskmaster creator Alex Horne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructured as one ongoing challenge rather than isolated puzzles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the show's signature lateral-thinking, low-stakes competitive humour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e256-page paperback, easy to carry, share, and revisit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine gift for Taskmaster fans, puzzle lovers, and comedy readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially tied to the BAFTA-winning Taskmaster TV series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlexander James Jeffery Horne, known as Alex Horne, is an English comedian, musician, and writer, born in 1978.

Joyce Russell draws on years of hands-on experience to guide readers through choosing and siting a polytunnel, preparing beds and soil, and planning successional sowing. Each month of the year is covered in turn, with clear task lists and crop-specific charts showing when to sow, plant, feed and harvest a wide range of fruit and vegetables suited to covered growing. The book also explains how to manage the polytunnel's microclimate, ventilate and water effectively, and keep plants healthy using organic methods, including composting, hotbeds and homemade feeds.
