Synopsis

Four authors, all with outstanding credentials, have collaborated to create a truly unique book. The book includes 32 structured, balanced workout programs which: are not too extreme, are highly visual, let you choose your level of commitment, and will fit within your busy schedule. Each program consists of the 3 basic elements: Stretching - to make you more flexible; Lifting - to make you stronger; and Moving - to strengthen your heart. Most people are out of shape: they don't exercise enough, they eat too much, many abuse tobacco, alcohol, and medications. This lack of activity can lead to major health problems, such as arthritis, back pain, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and various lung conditions. Four of the leading fitness authors of our time have collaborated in writing this book to help the average person start the process of taking charge of their own health and fitness. These men are all supreme in their separate areas, combined together they have created an extremely knowledgeable and impressive book to help the average person regain lifelong fitness.
