Weight Management For Triathletes (Ironman Series) is now available! By Ingrid Loos Miller Every triathlete wants to be and to look faster. The physiques of successful triathletes invites and inspires everyday age-groupers to look the part. This one of a kind guide will help triathletes of all levels improve body composition for aesthetics and performance. I know how depressing it is to train and perform as an endurance athlete without looking the part---let's face it, looking lean and fit is one of the reasons we do what we do. Looks matter because what you do with the body you live in is a reflection of your character. If you don't control the aspects of life that are within your power, then you are selling yourself and your family short. You can't teach your children or anyone else about the importance of health and the joy of athleticism if you are overweight and sedentary. I know that there are many athletes and wanna-be's that feel the same way. This book is for you. Facts about calories are important, but knowing them does not make weight loss any easier. This book bridges the gap between the nutritional information you already have, and the result you crave by providing day-to-day tools that allow you to eat less without feeling like you are going "cold turkey". You will learn how to motivate yourself, how to overcome social and logistical issues and will equip you with the wherewithall to manage your weight for the rest of your life. I show readers how to apply their athletic drive to the challenge of managing their weight. The book is science-based, filled with motivational tools and no nonsense strategies to get the weight off and to arrive at a weight that is right for you. Learn how to use body composition data, the scale and your built in athletic drive to overcome long standing weight struggles. The book features contributions from exercise physiologists, physical therapists and physicians, as well as inspiring interviews with professional triathletes Matt Lieto and Heather Wurtele, success stories and though-provoking topics like cosmetic surgery, exercise addiction, weight division racing and “The Ironman Trap”. This well-researched and thought-provoking book is available at amazon.com. and other fine bookstores. |
