This book is for anyone who has avoided beginning an exercise program for fear of having to be a “fanatic”. This book will teach you the value of such seemingly insignificant things as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or just walking for 10 minutes 3 times per day. This book will teach you self assessment tests for balance, flexibility, strength, cardiopulmonary fitness, body fat, and cardiac risk. These tests will help you determine your starting point on to your new life of fitness, health, and ideal weight. You will be guided through the different types of exercise starting with what Doctor Simon calls cardiometabolic exercise. You will then be guided through strength training, flexibility, and exercises for balance. Dr. Simon constructs different pyramids (think of the food pyramids) that are made up of nutrition, cardiometabolic exercise, strength training, balance training, flexibility, preventative medical care, and stress control. Dr. Simon then goes on to show you how to construct pyramids for different goals. These goals include weight loss, sports and competition, and people with medical conditions or who are advancing in age. My favorite parts of this book were Dr. Simon’s lessons on exercise and heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, diabetes, aging, mental function, and obesity. I also very much enjoyed the sections on injuries that were explained in a way that really helped me understand exactly what is happening when we hurt. I think you will be very pleased with the education you will receive from this book. Dr. Simon cites many studies throughout the book that will reinforce your new behaviors. You will finish this book with more knowledge about health, fitness, and weight loss than most people who you have probably considered experts.
