Dear reader,

Firstly, how are you? It has been a loooong while since we last chatted, but I have had to take time out (again), just to be able to get my creative juices flowing and to ensure I know what content I want to be putting out there. I am hoping to be posting a new fitness/lifestyle post on here every Sunday (let's hope I'll actually be able to stick to it!!) I am also hoping to launch a fitness a lifestyle channel at some point in the new year, but we'll see how that goes! 
Anyway, today's post is my first Gift Guide of 2017, how exciting is that? I cannot believe how quickly this past year has gone and that we have less than a week to go until December! It's mad! I absolutely adore putting together Gift Guides for my blog - they were one of my favourite posts to do back when I did Blogmas, so I thought, why not a few together for you this year too? It's always good to get a little bit of inspiration. 
In today's gift guide, I wanted to share some absolutely fantastic fitness/healthy lifestyle books that are out there, a perfect gift for someone you know who is interested in fitness and health, or for you to place on your wishlist! These books will be the perfect companion in helping you to learn more about fitness and food, as well supporting you on your journey in starting your fitness/health journey or aiding you in making positive changes.

I have decided to include books from three authors whom I am sure the majority of you will have heard of. These are three women who I myself consider inspirational, and I have learnt so much from, even as a fitness instructor and PT.  They are so passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle and in encouraging others in leading a healthy lifestyle, which to me, adds to the appeal of purchasing one of their books - it evident that they really care about what they do.
