One of the pens behind the press
Tamsin Hale
Health and the body ยท Strength built slowly
Tamsin writes about the body for readers who are tired of being shouted at. Her books deal in small repeatable things: a walk that happens whatever the weather, a weight that goes up by the smallest amount available, sleep treated as training rather than a reward. She is patient about progress and blunt about any claim that cannot show its working. No before photographs, ever.
