Making Informed Choices

For today's fitness-conscious student, the Second Canadian Edition of Fit & Well combines the best of two worlds. In the area of physical fitness, Fit & Well offers expert knowledge based on the latest findings in exercise physiology and sports medicine, along with tools for self-assessment and guidelines for becoming fit. In the area of wellness, it offers accurate, current information on today's most important health-related topics and issues, again with self-tests and guidelines for achieving wellness. The text provides comprehensive advice on wellness-related behaviour and practising a healthier way of life, as well as thorough coverage of health-related fitness and nutrition.

Fit and Well provides comprehensive advice on making informed choices about food and integrates behaviour change throughout the text. Making informed choices is the Fahey difference.

A resource that promotes self-assessment, Fahey encourages effective time-management with course material and incorporating healthy behaviour changes. By leveraging the online interactive workbooks, students have an easily accessible venue to record and track their progress. Labs at the end of each chapter help students determine their current level of wellness and create plans for making positive lifestyle changes.
