As an experienced, fully-qualified Personal Trainer and gym class instructor, 'Garden Your Way to Health and Fitness' offers the crucial elements of exercise for people of all fitness levels: safety, effectiveness, enjoyment and exercise adherence; all of this in your own outdoor space!

Bunny Guinness is a top gardening author, but by enlisting the help of a qualified pilates expert, there is advice on optimum posture, core muscle activation, balance and ergonomic considerations to make not only your garden healthy but you as well.

By following the clear, concise and well-laid out advice in Garden Your Way To Health and Fitness, gardeners will get fit (or even fitter!) by default, so even those who love gardening but not structured exercise WILL benefit from reading it.

For those who do enjoy more conventional exercise, there are many examples of how to utilise your garden and garden furniture to have a safe, effective and intense workout - for example, working on your tricep (back of your upper arm) muscles by performing dips on your steps or garden bench.

With wonderful illustrations and truly lavish photographs, combined with simple to follow advice from two real experts, Garden Your Way to Health and Fitness is a terrific idea that can offer those vital, functional 'real life' results. Highly recommended!
