Review “This is the most comprehensive and entertaining fitness book I’ve ever seen.” — Sharon Cohen, Executive Editor, Men’s Fitness Magazine –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. Amazon.com Review The original Fitness for Dummies, published in 1996, was a real breakthrough: a book that took a reader through all the fitness basics without being offputtingly complicated or insultingly simplistic. This second edition only improves on that tough balancing act. The authors are two of the most experienced fitness writers in the business–Suzanne Schlosberg is a longtime contributor to Shape and Liz Neporent is a veteran personal trainer, corporate fitness consultant, and contributor to Shape and The New York Times. In addition to being experienced at explaining exercise, they’re both exercise junkies, and their firsthand knowledge and love of the topic is evident throughout. Each section of the book–whether dealing with basic fitness issues, cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility, joining a gym, or exercising at home–offers a combination of well-researched, easily understandable information, combined with informed opinion. For example, in chapters discussing exercise equipment, they’re able to offer personal reactions to the gear–mentioning that Life Fitness makes great exercise bikes but a treadmill they don’t care for. New information in this second edition includes “100 Reasons to Break a Sweat,” featuring the latest research on exercise benefits; sections incorporating Internet fitness resources; and beefed-up exercise-video advice. That latter section includes tips about avoiding rip-offs (older videos are sometimes repackaged, with new covers promising different benefits) and a handy guide to choosing the best video instructors for different fitness levels. The core information, though, is the best reason to buy this edition of Fitness for Dummies. Exercise science is complicated, but this book makes it as simple–and entertaining–as it can possibly be. –Lou Schuler –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is helping me reclaim my health at age 69. In the past 5 years I have become a cancer survivor, had bilateral knee joint replacements, had high blood pressure, Sleep Apnea, and a colon of concern for colon cancer. 18 months ago, I undertook to reclaim my health after already beating cancer and having had the knee replacements. I undertook to lose 150 lbs, today have lost 83 in 18 months following a ketogenic way of eating. Now that I have lost weight, my high blood pressure is gone, the sleep apnea is gone, recent colonoscopy my doctor told me the best it has every been, blood sugar down from pre-diabetic. So with all this improvement, I decided to join a gym, but I knew nothing about Fitness. I have used many For Dummies books through the years and find them to always be impeccably written and in a very accessible and useful format for my use. I bought this book with high hopes of working it into my renewed health and it is fitting in very well, as I hoped it would. The information in this book takes you to a new level of understanding and gives practical information for applying the information to make life and fitness something that develops. For me, it fits perfectly with all my other lifestyle changes. Highly recommended.

⭐I’ve read the first half, and this is a great book. My wife and I just joined a gym, and part of what keeps me motivated is information. I love knowing facts about fat-loss, calories, muscle mass, etc. That’s the reason I bought this book. It has been great for me. First of all, I love all Dummies books because they’re practical and I like the format. This one has really great, all-around information: from shoe advice to tips for using a treadmill and other machines at a gym. The authors frequently cite studies (briefly–nothing too technical) that have revealed new info about exercise. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to acquaint themselves with fitness facts, including the jargon. If, like me, you’re joining a gym, this is a great book to help keep you motivated. Go work out and then come home at night and read a chapter! You’ll feel more informed at the gym and less like an awkward beginner.

⭐Highly recommend this basic primer to anyone’s approach to general fitness and lifestyle changes. Loaded with simple approach to establishing rewarding lifestyle changes for good health. Loaded with great factual information normally charged for in high-tech sporting and fitness clubs as part of their included services. Will provide all you need to know to know and lots more FREE references for continued education and knowledge for starting and maintaining your own personal program. A MUST READ to avoid the hype of membership clubs and overly paid personal trainers. Puts you in the drivers seat if you still want to join a club or hire a personal trainer. Anyone who is serious about getting fit needs to read this book before doing anything.

⭐In terms of a “Fitness 101” approach to exercise, it doesn’t get much clearer or easily understandable than this book.That said, it tends to contradict itself at times (“bring music to the gym” // “if you can listen to music you’re not working hard enough”).Even so, the author’s quest to be comprehensive (it includes a section for kids and pregnant mothers) makes this book a useful tool for fitness enthusiasts of all ages, shapes, and sizes.

⭐I am reading this as a prerequisite for day of training in fitness training. It seems to be comprehensive and sound. As with most of the ” … for dummies” books, it is easy to read and apply. I am interested in the emphasis on doing different things to “avoid boredom” – not an issue for me, I’m a habitual creature. I’d happily do the same routine week after week, although unfortunately this apparently isn’t a good way to train, so I am trying to add a bit more variety and this guide provides plenty of ideas for that.

⭐all the basics of fitness, talks about cardio, strength training, stretching, balance. pretty interesting once you read it

⭐Very informative

⭐Waste of money

⭐I did not know how you work out calorie count, or calories burnt in a day, never thought about balance training, there where a few good ideas about testing your fitness. But over all the book was so obvious that it became painful to read.

⭐It’s filthy……many pages are just simply dirty…a book looking read or even written all over sure expect it…but it’s just dirty.

⭐I’ve never before bought a ‘Dummies’ but these days who isn’t worried about getting a bit more fit. Every little helps and this is no exception. If you have read pretty much anything on fitness including a favourite magazine or you evening paper then a lot of what is here you will already know. However, now and again there is the phrase that brings a lot of that fragmented knowledge together and which makes the read worthwhile. Good Value!

⭐This is another of the Dummies books that I couldn’t live without.

⭐Good
