Title Details

Now more than ever, we are aware of the potential health hazards of long-distance flights—from “economy-class syndrome” or deep-vein thrombosis to jet lag. Fitness expert Dreas Reyneke and travel-medical journalist Helen Varley have put together the complete guide to in-flight fitness, with everything you need to know and do to enjoy a healthy and comfortable flight. Topics include preparation for travel and take-off; in-flight exercises and relaxation techniques; recognizing the early-warning signs of illness; and coping with problems like back pain, stress, and fear of flying. Whether you’re an occasional passenger or a frequent flyer—or even if you’re journeying by bus or train—this is the ideal travel companion. Dreas Reyneke, author of Ultimate Pilates, is internationally recognized for his contribution to the art and science of pilates-based fitness training. Helen Varley, editor of The Flier’s Handbook, writes widely on travel and medicine.
