This is the exercise book for the person on the go. Not too dense with theory, Practical Fitness: a busy person's guide to getting and staying in shape, will help you design an exercise program for your needs without a tremendous investment in time. Learn how to perform the exercises (with pictures and illustrations), how to construct a program, how to keep track of progress, how to troubleshoot, and most importantly, learn the time-tested principals that make any program effective.Designed to allow you to dive right in at any part of the book, you can start using the principals right away, or invest just a bit of time into learning some of the whys and hows of exercise. There's also a brief section on food to help guide you through an effective approach to eating that will compliment your exercise program.The book is designed with all general fitness goals in mind, so those looking to lose weight, add some muscle, improve their overall fitness and health, raise their energy levels, and keep those results without rearranging their entire lives should find what they are looking for here. Serious bodybuilders and athletes will probably not be best served by this book, though many of the principals presented are universally applicable.The author, having worked with hundreds of clients, both women and men, of all ages, and with all different types of goals, pours his 20 plus years of experience as a trainer, and years of research and study, into a book that should be of tremendous value to most, especially if you've been frustrated in your efforts of the past.
