We sit at computers all day (nights, too, on deadline), and as we age, our bodies begin to get rusty. Physical,
mental, and nutritional health are all affected. Here’s what to do about it—and how to explain it visually.
The book does have a quick and easy exercise program, but it’s also a how-to-show-it graphics manual with
examples from Greek vases through 19th- and 20th-century exercise plans, as well diagrams that explain
how to prepare for other sports, and to repair any damage while participating in them. The book deals
with many aspects of exercise: why it’s good for you; what happens to your body if you don’t move around
enough; medical and anatomical explanations of soreness and exhaustion; the exhilaration of doing physical
activity—the “runners’ high.” It also includes a chapter on nutrition. Driven by explanatory graphics—both
historic and contemporary, with examples grouped into “galleries” in each chapter—Let’s Get Infografit! is
aimed at maintaining a level of fitness at all ages.
