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 ...

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.

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.
