Previous Edition: BEST BOOK EVER on exercise...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerobics Program for Total Well Being (Paperback)
Do you want to be a triathlete ??? How about a septathlete ??? What about a dodecathlete ?? Did you ever wonder how to mix and match different sports activities (running, swimming, bicycling, squash, tennis, stair-climbing, etc.) to produce a precise and repeatable level of fitness ??I started with "Aerobics", then "The New Aerobics" in the latter 1970's. Every time I pick up this book I start an exercise program again in just a few days. The writing and enthusiasm is infectious !!! Want to compare your fitness level to the average U.S. army soldier ?? How about comparing yourself to the average Australian army soldier ?? Did you know that you can assess your fitness level in just 12 minutes of time ?? It's all in this book. The author, a U.S. army doctor who designs exercise programs and studies fitness in soldiers, was uniquely qualified to do the research necessary for this book. The best part of this book is a series of tables, roughly 40 pages, that lists sports and a "points" system that allows you to achieve, say, 25 points for running a 12:00 minute 2 miles, but only 10 points if you run in 18:00 minutes. Your goal, after reading this book, is to design and achieve an exercise program that garners 100 points per week, to produce the ultimate level of aerobic fitness ...

One of the best!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerobics Program for Total Well Being (Paperback)
This is one of the two best books,the other being The New Fit or Fat,written on health and fitness. It is one I refer to often to get me motivated to exercise.It looks at the whole person which is something you don't see much in other fitness books.If you want to get in shape,this is the one.

Sound advice on starting and maintaining an exercise program,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerobics Program for Total Well Being (Paperback)
This book is my exercise "bible". I started with his New Aerobics book in the '70s. This book includes updated research and newer sports, such as Rollerblading. The book is very persuasive about the benefits of exercise. It describes a variety of aerobic activites and provides several exercise programs for each. The Aerobics "points" system is very attractive to a quantitative person like myself. It gives me confidence that I'm getting enough exercise when I combine running, cycling, etc. The system may not be as appealing if you don't want to keep track of your training or measure your fitness. The appendices are reference information that I refer to over and over again.
