Summary: Sketches the broad strokes but what about the fine print?
Review: This book is a well-rounded way to begin your quest for fitness. It represents the age-old methods of keeping your body fit while rightfully ignoring the fads. However, this book does not accurately represent the newest medical findings i.e. the last year and a half. I also found that some important ideas behind overall health were not addressed. As a side note, this book is also poorly organized and works better as a reference and not a cover-to-cover read. In general, this book is a good supplement to reading current information (such as Health Magazine) and other fitness books. In life you must always cross reference information and question its valididty.

Summary: Not what you'd expect from the publishers of fitness
Review: This book is an A to Z of fitness, in short form. It explains concepts and healthy living principles and is probably good for the uninitiated. It is NOT a program to follow or any sort of guidebook for healty living other than as a lookup reference. If you are looking for a program try SHAPE your life, from the editors of shape magazine.

Summary: Great Encyclopedia of Fitness
Review: This book, which is written as an encyclopedia, provides an excellent background for anyone interested in fitness, wellness, and nutrition. It touches on many important aspects of wellness, while providing excellent illustrations to demonstrate exercises. I would view this book as more of a basic introduction to fitness however -- anyone who is already seriously involved with health and fitness will probably not find any new information here.
