The author also describes some of the travel adventures he undertook to help him recover from his own heart attack
This guide has been written primarily to help those with heart conditions get back to health and fitness but it also aimed at all couch potatoes who might too end up as coronary victims if they are not careful.
The book is packed with travel and health information, plus lovely descriptions of the author's own travel adventures.
Reviews
HeartUK Magazine: "...much more than a travel guide for people with heart conditions... that is really the book's central idea: that travel gives you the motivation to get the type of exercise your heart needs."
HEART UK Digest: "A travel guide packed with health tips is essential reading ... but this is much more than a travel guide ... I found lots of travel ideas and activities that were new..."
Ranulph Fiennes: “A great book and great travels. I recommend it to those with cardiac problems, as well as to their families and friends.”
