The benefits of exercise to the mind and body are well known. If you are looking for a change to your regular routine or are looking to start a new exercise routine, this list of books can help you get started right from the comfort of your own home. Large equipment not required. Home gyms can be very affordable, with some requiring nothing but your body and a little space. While many of the books in this list are focused on strength training, aerobic exercises such as running, walking and cycling are included to round out any exercise program.
