People Who Sweat. We're not alone

I sweat. For me a day doesn’t count as a day unless I sweat. At least this has been the case since 1997. The book, People Who Sweat, offers an interesting glimpse into the lives of folks who engage in out-of-the-ordinary pursuits that might cause one to perspire.

After over a decade of obsessive exercise I find myself looking for a couple of things. First, I long for a new athletic event to break the monotony of miles and miles of running and hours in the gym. Second, I occasionally seek affirmation that I’m not alone in bizarre personal quests. People Who Sweat delivers on both counts. It also makes for an entertaining and inspirational read.

Robin Chotzinoff, an offbeat and nontraditional athlete herself, spends time with a handful of driven, ordinary sweaty people and tags along to experience for herself the extraordinary sweaty things they do to make life worth living. From spelunking to mall walking this little gem of a book has something for everyone. Its size and content make it ideal to read while on a stationary bike or an elliptical. If your sweaty activity doesn’t allow for reading while exercising, once you dry off your hands pick up this book.
