Review:

"All the basic topic areas of fitness and wellness is discussed using the latest information available. The placement of the labs at the end of the chapters are consistent with the information in that chapter. The strongest element of the textbook is that it is easy to read."

"The book offers expert knowledge based on the latest findings in health, fitness and wellness along with the tools for health risk self assessments and wellness guidelines."
