Fitness Ebooks

I purchased this to complete Texas Tech's online correspondence health course. Amazon shipped it speedily as always and I was done with the class 2 weeks later. I have to say, I planned on selling this book because I didn't think it had anything new besides the whole "don't-do-drugs-exercise-eat-greens-etc." advice but it turns out this book has workout routines, stretches, dietary info, and a wellness plan that you can use for life as the title says... needless to say, this is the sort of book you will hang on to just because the information inside is simple yet crucial for day-to-day living.

This book was a great way for me, as a complete beginner, to learn my way around all the basic exercises for all the major muscle groups. br / br /It is great for a beginner because: br /1) It requires no previous knowledge. br /2) It requires no fancy equipment (a basic dumbbell bench would be nice, but isn't necessary). br /3) It emphasizes safety and proper technique. br /4) Between this book and some cheap hex dumbbells dumbbells I spent about $50. br / br /I got appreciable results in just a few weeks by working out in my living room (I'm not going to be a model anytime soon, but I'm stronger and more fit than I was before). br / br /If you already use dumbbells in your routine, then you probably don't need this book. I'm sure after I get some experience under my belt, a dumbbell bench, and a wider array of dumbbells, I'll want a more comprehensive book, but for the price, this was a great investment.

Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness br / br /As a Certified Personal Trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine, I can speak from experience that ACSM's information is both solid and extremely detailed. Anyone looking to better understand the body or move into the fitness industry would be well advised to pick up a copy of this book. ACSM is the leader in sports medicine and this book is just another example of their high quality and impeccable standards.

I read this book in one sitting. That's how desperate I am to bridge the gap between my husband and me. However, it's going to be really hard to implement the really sound advice offered within as my husband has already moved out. And he's not sure he wants to come back. Ever. So, that being said, I wish I would have read this book before we reached crisis mode. br / br /If you really want your marriage to be based on deep and unconditional love, it does take work. The advice and exercises contained in the book seem really intense, but I read it with an open heart, and I know deep inside that a lot of these exercises (as touchy-feely as they are) can make a relationship so deep and loving.

There are too few illustration, but too many numbers, acronyms, notations, tables... There is not much to read in the book, but it surely presents a lot of tables for readers to check and fill. It talks about front crawl only. I am extremely disappointed because it does not tell me much about how to swim efficiently with correct strokes.

The book it self has no problem, but the item I get has big problem!

Although I miss the seven phase OPT model of old, the new paradigm has streamlined the structure to progress athletes through the process more efficiently. The illustrations are an upgrade, however there are fewer sample exercises to use. I recommend the NASM program to any serious trainer. This isn't "gym science"; everything in this book is based on years of research in human biomechanics, physiology, and kinesiology. The information you absorb from these pages will make you question why you ever relied on news stand fitness magazines for your workouts. NASM OPT training isn't a fad, a quick-fix, or a unrealistic promise. It is hard work and discipline that is highly effective for those that commit. br / br /In addition to the text and CPT certification, continuing education courses and workshops will help you to truly understand the material with hands on demonstrations and professional instructors to answer your questions. Trainers get certified...real trainers get NASM certified.

While very few are out there, this book does wonders for putting our body in the limelight of what God intended it to be used on a daily basis. This is one topic you don't hear widely discussed in churches today, however, is highly needed. Tom talks about how if we all focused a little more on our community, everyone would loose weight and feed the hungry. Great read!
