This book is for those who struggle to change their bodies.
From the author with numerous titles to his credit — including If You Build Up Your Lower Body, You Won’t Gain Weight or Get Tired (Daiwashobo), the hit that’s sold over 200,000 copies — based on the experience of assisting a host of celebrity athletes to sculpt their bodies comes a book packed with sure-fire methods for weight loss through running.
The three main steps to burning body fat are:
1. Taking that first step
2. Making a habit of exercising
3. Establishing your motivation for losing weight
Along with clear explanations of these three steps, this book is also full of information useful to anyone who has thought about taking up running, quit running due to injury or a loss of motivation, or anyone who hasn’t been successful in losing weight through previous experiences with running.
This book includes widely known elements such as the activation and sustainment of your drive — the essence of losing weight — and if you can successfully incorporate these elements into your life, you may be able to finally say goodbye to that excess body fat!

Appendix The best training and stretching exercises for weight loss
Only one in four people are said to be able to successfully incorporate running into their lives for more than a year. Actually, I was also one of the three who couldn’t maintain a running routine. I quickly lost interest, especially as my knees and back began to get sore and feel uncomfortable. However, since I became involved in this project, I’ve managed to maintain a light running regimen for half a year now. Along with giving insights from trainers and experienced runners, this book also answers any questions beginning runners or those who wish to go on a diet might have. The author tackles these issues, offering useful information in a clear and structured manner that increasingly fuels your motivation as you read. After running only a handful of times, I noticed improvement in my cardio-pulmonary function and my legs had started to firm up. This is one book I wholeheartedly recommend to those considering taking up running, or those who’ve run in the past with little or no success in terms of sustained weight loss.
