Health & Fitness Excellence: The Scientific Action Plan

Summary: Well-written and easy-read health and fitness book
Review: I bought this book unseen after having read Brad Appleton's online book on stretching called "stretching and flexibility". Appleton highly recommends it. I understand why!!!!!!!!!! It combines every-day health topics like stress, motivation etc. in a (often but not always) sports-context. The book is though also recommended to people not interested in sports. Cooper has lots of scientific references (also for further reading) so his claims/suggestions/opinions are absolutely not "just personal meanings from somewhere". By my 9 years higher education (university) I must say I have NEVER written book so easy read and still so scientific as this one. It is a MASTERPIECE!!! You can use it as reference book or read from first page till last. I also consider it a whole life book. If you really know this book and takes the consequences of it you will be a better person. To others and yourself. And the price is a joke!!! I could easily have paid... for it!!

Summary: excellence of the synergy of health/nutrition/exercise
Review: I have been reading books about health, nutrition, and exercise. This is the first book I have come across that deals in detail with all three topics individually, and also as a synergistic group. Plus all theories presented are published studies. For a complete overview of health, fitness and nutrition, this is a great book.
