Separate fitness fact from fictionEach year millions of people resolve to get fit, but often the decision to increase fitness or to live a healthier lifestyle falls by the wayside because of perceived constraints on time or budget, health problems, or emotional setbacks. Fitness Illustrated addresses those barriers and presents core fitness concepts, exercise programming, nutrition, and weight management in a way that is easy to

understand and easy to incorporate into anyone’s lifestyle. In this one-of-a-kind guide, author Brian Sharkey takes students inside each type of activity to show what works, what doesn’t, and why! Students will go beyond the basics to see how the body changes with increased activity. From how muscles gain size and strength to the effect of aerobic activity on heart and lung function, this is fitness as never seen before.
