We sit at computers all day (nights, too, on deadline), and as we age, our bodies begin to get rusty. Physical, mental, and nutritional health are all affected. Here’s what to do about it—and how to explain it visually. The book does have a quick and easy exercise program, but it’s also a how-to-show-it graphics manual with examples from Greek vases through 19th- and 20th-century exercise plans, as well as diagrams that explain how to prepare for other sports, and to repair any damage while participating in them. The book deals with many aspects of exercise: why it’s good for you; what happens to your body if you don’t move around enough; medical and anatomical explanations of soreness and exhaustion; the exhilaration of doing physical activity—the "runners’ high." It also includes a chapter on nutrition. Driven by explanatory graphics—both historic and contemporary—Let’s Get Infografit, is aimed at maintaining a level of fitness at all ages.

This is the tenth book that Nigel Holmes has written on information design and infographics. He is the former graphics director at Time magazine, has lectured globally, and has taught at Stanford and Yale. His diverse list of clients includes the BBC, Ford, Heinz, BMW, Sony, Estée Lauder, and Apple, and his work has appeared in a wide range of media including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, New Scientist, National Geographic, Scientific American, and The New Yorker. He has given three TED talks, his work has been exhibited internationally, and he is the recipient of multiple awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for News Design, and the Ladislav Sutnar Award.
