Absolutely one of the best Fitness books I have read. Granted it is written as a textbook, this is a must read for those trying to lose weight or improve their fitness level. I’m using it for a class that I’m currently taking, and as a beginner Fitness and Wellness student, this explained many things clearly.

Very easy to read and to understand, every concept is given with statistic/scientific demonstrations. No mystery behind the subject. This book is especially good for people interested in going deeper in the subject from every different point of view. This in not for people who simply want to be told how to gain health and fitness, but it’s for people who also want to know why…

My first Brian Sharkey book I picked up in the late 70's when I was a graduate student in exercise science. What I liked about Sharkey's writing was that he wrote so I could understand the science behind the exercise principles without making me feel inferior.

You can tell I am a Brian Sharkey book fan and this book is Sharkey at his best. I love the Vitality and Longevity section, for much of my practice is with middle aged adults who are looking for ways to "re-energize" their lives.

This is a must for those of us who are practicing in worksites and looking for a way to keep up with the science of fitness and wellness.

The book starts out like a commercial for the authors feelings on staying fit. This is a text book and not very engaging but contains a lot of good information. I bought it as I was starting to workout again and think the book really helped get me going in the right direction.
