Synopsis

#1 Amazon New Release ─ Female, fit and fifty

Exercise is not optional: You don’t have to run a marathon to be fit and healthy or suffer through a triathlon that includes a half-mile swim in the ocean. But you do need an exercise habit. Especially as we age, exercise is not optional. Yet unless we had been athletes as kids or young adults, and few of us were, we do not know how to find our edge. Learning how to carve out time to meet our fitness needs or to push ourselves physically and mentally is one of the greatest challenges to aging well.

Finding the inspiration to exercise: Inspired by her highly popular blog “Be the Dog”, Carolee Belkin Walker's Getting My Bounce Back is a relatable story of what it’s like to be a successful professional woman encountering all things fitness for the first time. Even if readers have never put on a pair of running shoes or tried again and again to get a fitness habit, they’ll relate to the highs and lows of Walker’s journey to the back of the pack and ultimately stumbling on a path to resilience and well-being.

Happier more confident woman: You could fit two of Walker inside what her body looked like in February 2014. But it is the powerful sense of confidence and resilience that’s had the greatest impact on Walker and inspires others. This book is about Walker digging in, discovering who she is, and seeing how far she can push herself to be strong, fit, healthy, and most important, resilient. Her writing is full of humorous situations as she decides to be an active participant in life and not take the setbacks, or herself, too seriously.

Benefits of reading Getting My Bounce Back:

• Learn how to make time for exercise
• Get inspired to get fit
• Learn how you can be more confident and happier

About this title

From the Back Cover:

We’ve all been there―you’re so crazy busy that you put yourself at the bottom

of your to-do list. Author Carolee Belkin Walker knows what that feels like―you

could fit two of her inside what her body looked like in February 2014. But

instead of burying her head in the sand (or in a box of cookies) she dug down

deep and started the journey that led to her own personal fitness revolution.

Walker’s Getting My Bounce Back will inspire you, no matter where you are in

your life, to find your inner buoyancy and embark on some serious self-care.

With her trademark mix of wit and wisdom, Walker will have you laughing your

way through it all as you rediscover your personal confidence and resilience.
Even if you’ve never put on a pair of running shoes, or tried again and again to get

into a fitness habit, you’ll relate to the highs and lows of Walker’s journey to the

back of the pack―ultimately stumbling on a path to resilience and well-being. If

you want to be an active participant in life and not merely an observer―at any

age―but don’t know where to start, or even re-start, this book is for you.
In these pages you’ll find:
· Music playlists that will inspire you to get moving

· Easy recipes brimming with feel-good ingredients

· Tips from Reuel Tizabi, Walker's trainer

· How to fit exercise into a busy schedule and why it matters

· Tips on exercising even when you’ve got issues
