Review
Most fitness manuals tend to be plodding and humorless. "Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip and your upper body parallel to the floor" is among the more scintillating passages you'll find. But Suzanne Schlosberg and Liz Neporent have done the seemingly impossible: they've not only written a book that tells you everything you need to know about starting and maintaining a fitness program--getting motivated, choosing a gym, building strength and aerobic endurance, buying home exercise equipment--they've done it with wit and style.
