If you want to make 2012 the year you become fit and healthy this is the book for you.

As part of her relentless fight against flab, local personal trainer, Tracy Griffen has published her first book. It’s all about healthy eating and fitness but not as we know it!

Rather than adopt a didactic calorie counting approach, this energetic  Aussie gives us a seasonal compendium of simple, effective ideas for maintaining a healthy lifestyle long term. For example, the January chapter includes winter recipes, info about Nordic walking, abdominals, compression tights and the power of positive thinking.

A must for 2012!
