I also recommend reading one of Michael Pollan's books, perhaps The Omnivore's Dilemma, available in print or on Kindle.

Best Winter Fitness Products

I love these two products - one for outdoor exercise (and be sure to do intervals) and one for indoor elliptical/skier/treadmill reading while you consition.

Best of all for exercising, you can adjust the type size and the book stays flat!
