"Besides getting an easy education in the many chemical reactions that go into our metabolism, I came away with a resolution to warm up. I am far from being a fitness fanatic, I just love to get out and move whenever I can. This book was on Debbie's shelf and piqued my curiosity."
"It's getting a bit dated, but this is still one of the best "exercise" books I've found. Bailey (my former phys ed prof at Missoula in 1978!) is well qualified, reliable, and funny. He's not afraid to say what he thinks, and what people really need to know. After this book, most things on exercise are just fluff ("eat this not that"). Covert goes into the biology and tells you Why. I keep rereading this book every few months."
