Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"In my little way I'm going to rattle the world", proclaims Covert Bailey, who already rattled the world when he changed the way America looked at weight loss and exercise with his original Fit or Fat in the mid 1970s. Now he's back with a new spin on the Fit or Fat principles. This small book (180 pages, about 5" x 8") teaches you how to get fit faster and raise your metabolism. To improve fitness levels most quickly, Bailey recommends his "Four Food Groups of Good Exercise": aerobic exercise, cross training (varying your exercise choices), wind sprints (short bursts of high-intensity activity) and weight lifting. "I'm not burning a lot of calories while I'm exercising, but my body is changing into a better butter-burning machine", he says, and "The purpose of my exercise is to change my chemistry." As we expect from Covert, his style is clever and feisty--the book is fun to read, and the information goes down easily. He offers some witty, memorable principles, such as "The more muscle an exercise uses, the less long you gotta do it!", "If you're fit, exercise long; if you're fat, go short but often", and this motto for the older exerciser: "When you are over the hill--you pick up speed!" He includes a body fat test and a find-your-pace fitness test. --Joan Price
