The GPO Bookstore offers two excellent eBooks that can guide you:
First up, Exercise & Physical Activity from the National Institute on Aging. This comprehensive PDF eBook is designed to help individuals of all ages. It’s packed with helpful information, tips on how to get started, sample exercises, and even real-life success stories. You’ll learn about the four types of exercise that improve health, how to set goals and create a plan, and most importantly, how to exercise safely while having fun. It even includes detailed instructions with photos and worksheets to track your progress!
For those who need a quick and portable guide, Workout to Go is your perfect companion. This concise ePUB features 13 easy-to-follow strength, balance, and flexibility exercises you can do anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re just starting, getting back into a routine, or want to stay active while away from home, Workout to Go provides handy exercises. It’s a great complement to the more comprehensive Exercise & Physical Activity guide.
However, exercising in summer heat requires a mindful approach. Remember to:
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after workouts.
- Time it Right: Opt for early mornings or late evenings to avoid the midday sun’s peak intensity.
- Dress Smart: Wear lightweight, breathable, and light-colored clothing.
- Listen to Your Body: Don’t push too hard; take breaks in the shade if you feel overheated.
- Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen and consider wearing a hat and sunglasses.
Don’t let the summer heat deter you from staying active. You can enjoy a healthy, energized, and fun-filled summer with thoughtful planning and valuable resources from the GPO Government Bookstore!

As a physical therapist working with federal employees, I’ve been recommending these government fitness publications for years – they’re evidence-based but far more approachable than clinical guidelines. The new ‘Movement Snacks’ concept from the NIH guide has been revolutionary for my patients who struggle to find time for exercise. We’ve created a 12-week email series based on it with tremendous participation rates.
