#1 Amazon New Release Female, fit and fifty

Exercise is not optional: You dont 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 Walkers Getting My Bounce Back is a relatable story of what its 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, theyll relate to the highs and lows of Walkers 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 thats 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

Praise

Exercise and fitness support our life. It makes us strongphysically, emotionally, and psychologically. It keeps our
heart pumping. It promises that we will be able to keep at our
lifes work longer than if we did not move and that we will someday take our childrens childrens children swimming in the ocean when we are 98. It is a joyful experience and we get to do it. How lucky are we to be able to support our life like this?
As Carolee would say: You got this.

Sarajean Rudman, from the Foreword

Carolee Walkers Getting My Bounce Back is an engaging and inspiring read. Getting fit and training to compete in endurance events is no walk in the park, even for the hardiest among us. There are few books out there that genuinely describe the ups and downs of reinventing yourself at midlife while simultaneously teaching us how we can all do it. In this memoir, Carolees authentic voice shines through as she describes her personal journey of self-discovery and personal mastery. Carolees journey is instructive, funny, relatable, and most of all, inspiring.

Chris Friesen, PhD, sport & performance neuropsychologist and author of the High Achievement Handbook series

Getting my bounce back are the words every runner needs to hear. Often we are shown images and words that portray an easy connection between starting a fitness journey and reaching the moment where everything is easy (although as an elite runner,
I know that it never truly becomes easy, you just get tougher).
Most books and publications just show the end result, as if we magically appear at the peak of fitness and ideal look, but Carolee allows us to peek into her inner mind, showing us that there is a journey behind those photos, and a point where a health journey switches over from the lose weight mentality to realizing the joy and light exercise brings us in more valuable and meaningful ways. For anyone who has ever wondered why everyone else made it
seem so easy, this book is for you.

Tina Muir, elite runner and host of the
Running for Real podcast

Within the philosophy of action theory, there are two prerequisites that can lead to action: desire and belief. If we are hungry and desire to be full, and we believe a sandwich will satisfy that desire, we will eat the sandwich. But are these truly the prerequisites to committed action? What about the case for daily exercise: we desire to be at a certain level of physical fitness, and we believe that daily exercise will lead us to that level of physical fitness. According to action theory, we should all exercise daily. So why is it that so many people do not act, day after day? Why is it sometimes easy to exercise and sometimes not? What makes us commit? There must be more. Something bigger than us. Something that can lead to committed action.

Yes, there is. And it is different for everyone.

It is true that we can commit to exercising before work, or join a fitness club with a goal of going to classes daily, or set our sights on a running goal. We might even achieve those goals, to some extent, and for some amount of time. More than likely, however, once the goal is met, or once we grow bored of trying, we will stop doing what we are doing and go back to simply desiring a more fit life that we believe can be achieved through fitness goals, but with the bizarre inability to propel ourselves into action. The key word being: ourselves .

When asked what really lights you up, you probably do not answer: Myself. Humans, in general, come equipped with a certain set of values. These are values that they have collected over time and grown into, often passed down to them from their foremothers and forefathers. It is building a house of commitment upon the concrete foundation of ones values that creates the ability to take action: chronic action, habitual action, life-changing action, committed action. If we build the house of commitment upon a foundation of should or need or ourselves, we might as well have built it upon a pile of sand. We will inevitably tire of ourselves or break the rules weve made for ourselves. A house built on sand will crumble the moment action comes blowing in the wind. Brick by brick, stone by stone, we will be left with nothing but a pile of our own unsatisfied desires, charred by the subtle fire of what we once believed to be the solution, no longer willing or able to act on those beliefs for fear of being burned again.

Burned by ourselves.

This is bigger than ourselves .

Start by figuring out what in this life is most important to you. Maybe it is family, nature, or loyalty. Maybe it is being creative, fun-loving, adventure-seeking, or community-driven. Perhaps it is humor, spirituality, or being a helper or a teacher. Whatever it is, this is where you must lay the foundation for your house of committed action. This is where your non-negotiable fitness habit becomes part of your blueprint, ingrained in your DNA, nestled in your soul.

The way you approach exercise is a choice. You can either begin your fitness routine thinking, I have to do this, or, as I prefer, I get to do this. When you get to work out, run, hike, swim, or whatever gets your heart pounding and body moving, you come from a place of gratitude and purpose. When you have to work out, you come from a place of fear, grasping, and obligation. Not that obligation is always a terrible thing, but it is important to remain clear about what it is that we are obligated to. Being obligated to feed and clothe your child is very different from feeling obligated to run for two hours every day, or to go to barre or spinning every day for a month, or even to hit a goal in a race if you are not really feeling it. Feeding and clothing your child is a real obligation, something you must do to live in alignment with your values. If you have children, you probably hold family as a very high value and work for your familys safety and welfare. Therefore, you will be committed to act: feeding your child is a committed action because it is driven by a value.
