  Since 1995, there have been four deaths following fights in Britain and forty around the world. In Death of a Boxer, Pete Carvill sets out to explore the psychology of those who choose to fight and what draws them towards this most dangerous of pursuits.
  But to write about the death of fighters would only be half the story. Carvill, who has written extensively on boxing and combat sports for fifteen years, will take off his own gloves and pick up a pen to explore the lives of fighters, from the early days in amateur clubs, to established professionals, to those down on their luck and to the retired still hankering for the feeling of being able to do what once came so easily to them.
  A deep and powerful meditation on the nature of boxing that asks why people do it, what it does for them – and ultimately to them. This may be the most important book on the sport for decades.

  Fitness for Busy Moms - Quick...

  Being a mom is a full-time job, and it's easy for your own health and fitness to take a back seat when you're juggling the needs of your family, work, and household responsibilities. However, it’s crucial to make time for yourself and your well-being. Fitness for busy moms doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment or require hours at the gym. It’s about finding small, efficient ways to stay active that fit into your hectic lifestyle. 
  The first step to fitting fitness into your life is understanding the importance of regular exercise. Physical activity is essential for maintaining energy levels, boosting mood, and improving overall health. It helps with everything from weight management to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. But more than just the physical benefits, exercise is also a mental escape. It offers you a chance to take care of yourself and focus on something other than the never-ending to-do list. 
  Overcoming time constraints is often one of the biggest challenges for busy moms. Between school runs, meal prep, work, and household chores, it can feel impossible to carve out time for exercise. However, the key is not to wait for the "perfect" time. There will never be a time when everything is perfectly aligned, and that’s okay. Fitness doesn’t require hours of uninterrupted time—it can be done in short bursts throughout the day. In fact, many of the most effective workouts are short, high-intensity sessions that get results in less time.
