Great Book for Fitness Beginners

Shaping Up focuses on how to start your own personalized fitness program. It covers all aspects of exercise, nutrition, and weight loss. Before reading this, I read "The Everything Total Fitness Book," and found that "Shaping Up" was a terrific supplement to that book. The book is effective. After reading it, I was able to determine the right exercise program and nutritional plan for me. The information is based on the most recent findings in studies. I especially like the section on sensible weight management, but the whole book was helpful. The weight management section describes some of the most popular fad diets (such as the "no carbs" diet) and compares them to healthy eating as recommended by health associations.
