«Inspirational!»
This book is written to inspire people who are not already physically active on a regular basis to engage in any sport or activity that gets them moving, whether recreational or competitive. It is not limited to triathalons or to running, biking and swimming. While aimed primarily at older and/or overweight people, especially women, anyone interested in exercise will benefit from the cheerful, anecdotal discussion of topics like clothing, scheduling and positive thinking. The thoughts on participating in competitive sports for non-competitive reasons are excellent. General advice is given and some basic overall guidelines, like checking your heart rate, but no specific training guidelines or programs are included. The book is funny. It is easy to read in small bits, a few pages at a time.

«Not up to par»
I love Jayne Williams! She offered great hope and motivation in her first book "Slow Fat Triathlete". However, this second book was very disappointing. It's filled with fluff, a few tid bits of wit and wisdom and doesn't have much to offer in the way of how to "shape up".

«Motivation you need»
I found this book to be motivating and I learned a lot about exercising, resting, eating and the emotional-ness of exercise. I liked this book even though I am not training for a triathlete type experience. Many great tips on when to slow down, pick it up, eating, just getting out there, what to wear, everything.
