    About this ebook

    Mark R. Hailey's collection of magazine and blog articles comes together in one book entitled Fitness Mosaics.

    Mark takes a unique, entertaining, and informative approach to a number of health and fitness topics. You get a better understanding of metabolism when he compares the inner workings of the human body to the inner workings of a car. You discover your inner Cro-Magnon by understanding, through evolution, that you are genetically programmed to succeed in fitness. While on a trip to visit a friend in Riga, Latvia, he writes about Eastern European fitness habits and how they "practice what we preach". He talks about stumbling into the world of Yoga, and writes a "for men only" article on how they too can reap the benefits of Yoga... all while keeping their male egos intact.

    These, and other, articles give you a better perspective on fitness and help empower you to make the changes you desire.

    Like the title indicates, Fitness Mosaics is a compilation of articles that creates an over all fitness picture.

    The articles originally appeared in Your Health magazine, and on the Body Mechanics blog page.

    Some information in the articles have been updated to reflect the different changes in health and fitness studies over the years. There is also some material written specifically for Fitness Mosaics.
