ACSM Fitness Book

This book is an update of a book I have had and used for years. It is excellent--thorough and clearly written.

ACSM Fitness Book

This is a basic fitness book for people who have not been active, or who have been somewhat active but not consistently. It is definitely a "start where you are" book, with lots of good basic information about how to get started for those who are a little nervous about it. It would be a great book for health professionals to direct their patients who need to get moving to. There is a chapter on goal setting that is very realistic. The 6 week program starts at a very basic level, but there are more advanced levels for those who can take it. It is non-judgmental in tone. It is not for those who have been active for a while, but it serves it's intended purpose very well.
