 Fitness and Health ( rob35223 )
The book starts out like a commercial for the authors feelings on staying fit. This is a text book and not very engaging but contains a lot of good information. I bought it as I was starting to workout again and think the book really helped get me going in the right direction.

 Brian Sharky at his Best! ( bewellbill )
My first Brian Sharkey book I picked up in the late 70's when I was a graduate student in exercise science. What I liked about Sharkey's writing was that he wrote so I could understand the science behind the exercise principles without making me feel inferior.
You can tell I am a Brian Sharkey book fan and this book is Sharkey at his best. I love the Vitality and Longevity section, for much of my practice is with middle aged adults who are looking for ways to "re-energize" their lives.
This is a must for those of us who are practicing in worksites and looking for a way to keep up with the science of fitness and wellness.

Fitness & Health ( lynhws )
This book is easy to read but very brief in explanations pertaining to the bloodstream and certain enzymes. It is a great book for an introductory health and fitness class.

Excellent Fitness Book ( petpassion )
This book covers every area you need to know about in order to get and stay fit and healthy.
The book evens gives you suggestions on when (how often) you should get certain tests, exams, and immunizations. It describes many tests and what outcomes you should look for in each one. It also includes a Health Risk Analysis for you to take.
It covers all aspects of Aerobic Fitness as well as Muscular Fitness giving you suggestions, tips and photos demonstrating different exercises.
The book is so complete it even covers nutrition and other basic health information. This section includes a long list of foods and their caloric content as well as the caloric expenditure during various activities.
It also covers different diets giving you the good and the bad and telling you which ones you should avoid.
There's so much more in this book than there's time for in this interview. My suggestion is to get this book - even if you are into fitness you will learn something.

Bought for a class, keep for life! ( tahoekarin )
Absolutely one of the best Fitness books I have read. Granted it is written as a textbook, this is a must read for those trying to lose weight or improve their fitness level. I'm using it for a class that I'm currently taking, and as a beginner Fitness and Wellness student, this explained many things clearly.
