ACSM's Complete Guide to Fitness & Health (1st Edt)

Everyone should have a book like this. Good advice for all age groups .Easy programs to follow and comply with.Not well bound; pages tend to fall out.

Good way to get college books

The fitness background information in this book is well organized and presented. However, the same information is available from many similar titles. The book is misnamed because it certainly is not "complete". It does not offer definitive guidance for the key questions readers need answered: How to optimize Body Mass Index and Body Composition for health and longevity. Public documents provide more definitive answers to these crucial questions which are not included in this book.

This book was used as the academic text book in one of my daughter's health/PE classes in college. I was impressed with the health, exercise, and nutrition topics covered in this book and wanted a copy of my own. Found it on Amazon. I'm in my 60's and very interested in Health issues. A great resource for all members in the family. I'm planning on ordering a copy for each of my adult children for themselves and their families.

Dr Bushman does an excellent job of providing expert advice on getting into shape. The book is an easy read, and the pictures provide a great visual for completing the exercise properly. This book is a "must" read by all family members. It helps the beginner to the more advance in all phases of exercise. The book also provides nutritional guidelines for all ages. If you would like to read a "very understandable" book on exercise, you must purchase this book!

The guide provides just basic, useful, consumer information. Maybe this is all that I should have expected. It is pretty well organized and illustrated.

to anyone's fitness library -- giving a general guideline (acceptable medical standard);I am glad I have included it into my library ;)

If you are wanting a complete source for fitness and health then this book is for you! I never really took fitness seriously and then I decided enough was enough and I was going to get fit. This book has helped me take on a workout plan that is safe and effective. It is easy to read, they don't "talk down to you", and it is a great guide overall.

Nothing great!!!!!!
