Run Your Fat Off

Running Smarter for a Leaner and Fitter You

By: Jason R. Karp, PhD

Running burns more calories than any other physical activity, making it the most effective weight loss strategy. Running is accessible to everyone in the world, and is second only to walking as the most popular physical activity in America. As any overweight, out-of-shape person who’s tried running will tell you, running is also one of the best ways to get in shape. Despite its effectiveness, running has been largely ignored by the weight loss experts. Until now. Blending author Dr. Jason R. Karp's unique expertise as a researcher, running coach, and lifelong runner into a practical running program, Run Your Fat Off includes: *day-by-day running workouts for beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners that detail the most effective mix of runs for weight loss (i.e., long runs, fast runs, hill runs, interval runs, etc.) *6 phases per level that allow runners to progress at their own pace, depending upon fitness level and weight loss goals *drills to perfect your running technique so that you can burn more calories *an eating plan that emphasizes the right mix of nutrients to fuel your runs without adding calories, complete with easy-to-prepare meals and recipes *a special section for beginners on how to start running and not be intimidated Unlike other running books, Run Your Fat Off focuses on the best ways to run to lose weight. And unlike other weight loss books, Run Your Fat Off focuses on the most effective weight loss activity, running. Featuring success stories from people who have lost weight and changed their lives through running, Run Your Fat Off combines two of America's leading obsessions into one effective plan.

Inside, you’ll learn what’s worked for the thousands of others trying to lose weight fast—and keep it there.

The answer is buried deep in the archives at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center, home to the largest study of successful long-term weight loss maintenance. ?The National Weight Control Registry includes data from more than ten-thousand individuals about their weight, nutrition and fitness habits, and weight management strategies. This is where Jason Karp comes in—a nationally-certified coach, medical doctor devoted to healthy living, and the founder of the REVO2LUTION RUNNINGTM certification program. In his unique food book, he boils data down into actionable tips and wellness strategies for your everyday life. Inside, you’ll learn that not all carbs are bad, eating can increase energy, and maintainable ways to: Monitor your fats, carbohydrates, and protein Exercise (a lot!) daily Control your calorie intake with diets that work Praise for Lose It Forever “A must-read primer for anyone who has worked hard to lose weight and wants to keep it off. [Jason’s] extensive data, research, and six practical habits make weight loss attainable. As a fellow fitness professional, it’s always a pleasure to refer clients to other colleagues, such as Jason, who can bring a different perspective to getting fit and healthy.” —Tamilee Webb, MA, star of Buns of Steel

Work Out

The Revolutionary Method of Creating a Sound Body to Create a Sound Mind

By: Jason R. Karp PhD

A competitive runner since sixth grade, Dr. Jason Karp quickly learned how running molds us into better, more deeply conscious people, just as the miles and interval workouts mold us into faster, more enduring runners. This passion Jason found as a kid placed him on a yellow brick road that he still follows as a coach, exercise physiologist, bestselling author, speaker, and founder and CEO of the women’s-specialty run coaching company Kyniska Running. He is the 2011 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year and 2-time recipient of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Community Leadership award. His REVO2LUTION RUNNING™ certification has been obtained by coaches and fitness professionals in 25 countries.

Running for Women

By: Jason Karp,Carolyn Smith

As best-selling author John Gray pointed out, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. There are obvious differences between women and men in anatomy, physiology, hormones, and metabolism. So why do most running books take a one-size-fits-all approach to training? Finally, here’s one that doesn’t. Running for Women provides comprehensive information on training female runners based on their cardiovascular, hormonal, metabolic, muscular, and anatomical characteristics. In this authoritative guide, authors Jason Karp and Carolyn Smith answer the questions and tackle the topics women need to know: • The impact of the menstrual cycle on hydration, body temperature, metabolism, and muscle function • The most effective workouts for endurance, speed and strength, lactate threshold, and VO2max • How and when to train during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause • Preventing knee injuries, stress fractures, and other common running-related injuries • Avoiding the risks of the female athlete triad—disordered eating, osteoporosis, and menstrual irregularities • How to use sex differences to your advantage Based on the latest research on estrogen, metabolism, and other sex-specific performance factors, Running for Women will change the way you fuel, train, and compete. If you are serious about running, this is one guide you must own.
