So you want to get fit? But do you really know why? And, if so, do you really know how? The fitness boom is the biggest trend of the 1980s. No longer a fad, exercise and movement are here to stay. They constitute one of the major lifestyle shifts of the decade, and millions now jog, work out, dance or practise yoga. But the fitness craze has brought with it a bewildering array of different exercise forms, each with its own dedicated followers. Caught in the middle of a mass of contradictory advice, scare stories and mystifying scientific jargon, the beginner may find it impossible to decide which form of exercise is best suited to their particular lifestyle, temperament and needs. Do you want to exercise to lose weight or to increase flexibility? To tone muscles, for relaxation or to improve your self-image? This book helps you map your path through the burgeoning fitness jungle. The first part gives a clear overview of the entire exercise movement, taking into account the personal as well I as the physical goals of exercise, with reports on the latest theories and findings on topics ranging from body/mind centring and mastery to endurance training and neuro- muscular co-ordination. A second section looks at all the main forms of exercise available, from traditional Western sports such as tennis and skiing to dance, Eastern movementtechniques such as judo and t'ai-chi ch'uan, and movement re-education forms from the Alexander Technique to the Feldenkrais Method. With details of the principles, aims and forms of movement of each one, together with cautionary guidelines and useful addresses, it will help you to make an informed choice based on your own unique requirements and goals. The Fitness Jungle explains the exercise revolution in layman's terms, and is essential reading for anyone interested in improving their fitness and general wellbeing.

The Future of Coaching: Vision, Leadership and Responsibility in a Transforming World

We live in a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, in which our work and lives are constantly disrupted and changing. But coaches and leaders are still trained to operate within stable models with a uni-focus on performance. Coaches are starting to question the remit of ‘raising performance’ within existing systems, many of which are outdated, dysfunctional and even toxic. The role of the coach today must evolve to become fit for purpose in challenging times and coaching must re-articulate its values, as the essential compass for navigating turbulent waters.   In The Future of Coaching, Hetty Einzig examines the role of coaching and leadership in the twenty-first century, and sets out a compelling vision for its future. Drawing on experience gained over twenty-five years of coaching leaders in the corporate and public sectors, in the UK and globally, she challenges the tenet of coaching neutrality. Rather than simply following the client agenda, she encourages coaches to see themselves as partners in courageous leadership and to work towards building an ethical, holistic and networked coaching approach to help create businesses that serve society and our globalised world.   The book asks essential questions of coaches working today: how can leaders and coaches become ‘positive deviants’ and transform the rules of the game within cultures where denial and group-think are rife? How can coaches work with the anxious and depressed, embracing the dark as well as the light? Are coaches prepared for the rise of Millennials, women leaders and those over sixty (the Third Acters)? Einzig challenges the model of the Strong Leader in favour of Respons-able leadership based on authentic strength, distributed power and responsive thinking. And she shows how this vision of a transformed workplace is essential for the transformations society must undertake to reclaim a positive future.  This thought provoking collection of essays, designed to be read in any order, is enlightening and inspiring reading for coaches in practice and in training, HR and L&D professionals and for leaders everywhere.
