Based on the cadets' fitness training program, an arrangement of exercises and nutrition information designed to keep you fit and trim, presented in a highly readable, fairly undogmatic format. The exercises, intended to strengthen the Basic Five muscle groups, include a set for cardio-respiratory conditioning; recommended for adults 18-50, with adjustments made for different fitness levels, they require 15-45 minutes a day. Anderson also suggests appropriate workouts for other age groups--elementary school children, teenagers, and those past 50. The nutrition plan is similar to Weight Watchers' food group listings rather than a strict adherence to calorie counts, and fad diets are summarily dismissed for obvious reasons. A bit too much recordkeeping for some, but otherwise straightforward and sensible., ISBN13: 9780892560080 ISBN10: 0892560088 Material Type: hardcover
