is a fascinating explanation of the human body and an easy-to-follow plan that shows how everyone can learn from the pros to improve their health and performance. Dr. Wells explains

How the same training techniques that elite athletes follow can be even more effective for most people

Why little things can add up, and how simple choices can make a huge difference.

Fascinating, easy-to-read and packed with full-colour illustrations and photographs,
