Every parent wants the same thing: for their child to enjoy a long and fulfilling life. But what happens when things don’t go according to plan? What happens when parents have to become advocates for their child’s healthcare needs? Who decides what is in a child’s ‘best interests’?

Stephanie Nimmo faced these questions first-hand when her daughter, Daisy, was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition as a baby. Seen through the lens of Stephanie’s own experiences, this sensitive book delves into the complex world of medical ethics and paediatric palliative care. From recognising tipping points to the importance of building relationships with palliative care teams well before crisis, this book explores how medical professionals can better support families throughout their child’s care.

Interviews with clinicians and snapshots from the lives of patients’ families provide insight into the realities of life on both sides of the hospital bed. Compassionate explanations of the conflicting pressures in the hospital system foster understanding and help medical professionals and families work together.

How to tone and sculpt your body, even if you hate cardio or have never stepped inside a gym (and don’t plan on doing so!)

At one point or another we’ve all told ourselves, “I’m going to sign up for a gym membership, and really do it this time,” or, “I swear I’ll do my workout later on tonight.”

We all know the benefits of exercise: It improves our physical and mental health, gives us more energy, and boosts our self-image.

So why is it so hard to start an exercise regimen, and even harder to stick to it?

Despite our best intentions, life gets in the way and there always seems to be an obstacle stopping us from actively trying to live healthier.

Whatever the reason, continuing to live a sedentary lifestyle isn’t doing you any favors.

In fact, physical inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality and is a strong predictor for weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions.

Does this mean that you have to make drastic lifestyle changes to start improving your health, mentally and physically? Or that you need to give up time doing what you love just so you can spend hours in the gym?

Not at all.

I’ll let you in on a secret that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know.

You don’t need fancy equipment or expensive trainers to sculpt the body that, up until now, you’ve only imagined.

A.G. Scott knows firsthand the amazing results that can be achieved with home workouts, and so he has put together the only exercise guide you’ll ever need.

And much more.

The key to transforming your life is having a workout routine that works for you, not against you. This is a plan that will adjust to match your needs and experience, no matter where you are.

It’s time to leave the costly gym membership behind, save money, and allow yourself more time to enjoy life.
