It is hard to understand why anyone would read this book on Health and Physical Fitness. There are so many of them on the market today. Are people drawn to the name of the person, the person's title, the look of the book cover, or the thickness of the book itself? Suffice it to say, that readers are drawn to what they feel is important to them: this is good. This book is about life and longevity; trying to live a healthy life style and maintain that balance. If someone can give you that kind of understanding, does it matter how thick the book is, the name of the person, or how many letters he has after his name? I think not! This book is for all ages but it is most particularly geared towards those that are just beginning to discover an interest in health, sports and physical fitness. That person can be of any age, creed or nationality. There are no limitations as to who. This book is basic knowledge in the field of general health care. Any one starting a physical fitness program or a sports venture should read this book. The goal is to have this book as a first course for those that will start any vigorous training program. It is for coaches and trainers to teach these aspects before or during the school exercise or for any sport attempt. This is the goal of this book.
