Fitness and well-being expert Paula Kerr used exercise and nutrition to navigate the toughest physical and emotional battles of her life and move forward.
In Fitter Stronger — Resilience — If You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going, she explains her story in full.
With nutrition hacks and work outs for all abilities, there are contributions from clinical experts and those who have used fitness to turn their lives around, including chef Michel Roux Jr and former Royal Marine and triple amputee Mark Ormrod OBE — called 'Britain's answer to Superman' by Prince Harry. This book identifies the vital coping mechanisms we all need when a grenade is thrown into our world and we need to adapt to survive.
Carefully researched and beautifully presented, this is a practical guide to managing adversity, by creating a strong, healthy, mind and body.
Paula Kerr was a successful journalist when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine operation. To help her navigate two gruelling years of treatment and maintain family life, she relied on a nutrient dense diet, regular exercise and a positive mindset, to aid her return to full health, climbing Ben Nevis between trips to the chemotherapy ward. Wishing to share her experience with others, Paula qualified as a personal trainer and created Fitter Stronger, offering health holidays and classes for those experiencing illness, injury or trauma. Fitter Stronger has grown into a hugely successful brand, including personal training, wellness breaks in the UK and South Africa, NHS and private medicine rehab clinics, and a youth fitness and motivation programme for primary, secondary and further education. In all areas of her work, she promotes exercise and nutrition as vital tools for a peaceful, healthy and energetic life.
'If you keep your mind and body strong, you are unstoppable.' — Paula Kerr
