Personalized Cycling Exercise Routines

Hi Nancy, I just read your post and I came up with this: Traversing life’s experiences through cycling. Let me know what you think. Also, my son Paul and I have just gone live with an exercise website which is currently ranking #1 in google for multiple key word phrases and we would like to discuss the possibility of marketing your book. Our site is very unique in the fact that we create a personalized cycling workout using animations to show people how to exercise correctly. The website is: exercisestogo.com. Please let me know what you think about it. My contact info: Rick Araujo (239) 887-7508. Have a blessed day - Rick

"the challenge and transformation"
"One Family's Transformative Journey . . . "
""A tale of bicycling and discovering"
"Pursuing the Impossible"
"A trip of Discovery . . ."
"
Traversing life’s experiences through cycling"

Not meant to offend, but avoid trite phrases in your title. They will actually lessen anyone's desire to read the book.

Fixed that for you.

Much of today's media, and what people demand to read, is based on triteness. Because anything deeper than that... well, they just can't cope with the thought. They want fast, easy to understand, entertaining material with which they can identify themselves.

Of course my comments are based on the premise that nancy wants to sell the book in reasonable numbers, rather than become an esoteric title that appeals to about 100 buyers.

Also, my advice as a former journalist and public relations consultant is to avoid words in titles that end in "ing". That includes "bicycling".
