LIFETIME PHYSICAL FITNESS AND WELLNESS was the first book in the field to cover both fitness and wellness in the same text. Now in its Ninth Edition, this proven text — with its uniquely strong emphasis on using behavior modification techniques to achieve healthy lifestyle habits — has been praised across the country for its ability to help students realize their highest potentials for health, fitness, and well-being. Each chapter guides students in developing a personalized fitness and wellness program by allowing them to chart and update their progress as they meet their goals. The Hoegers integrate activities throughout each chapter (instead of at the end of chapters) so students can complete each fitness and wellness experience as the concepts are introduced. It doesn’t stop there! Three powerful resources — the PROFILE PLUS 2007 CD-ROM, PERSONAL DAILY LOG, and INFOTRAC COLLEGE EDITION — are all automatically packaged with this edition of the Hoegers’ text! PROFILE PLUS gives students unprecedented flexibility in making lifestyle changes by providing additional assessments, a behavior change plan, nutrition analysis tools, and exercise logs and prescriptions. It also includes interactive quizzes to help students master and remember the concepts presented in the text. A PERSONAL DAILY LOG allows students to track their progress toward goals they may set for themselves. Included also are suggestions for achieving test success, a variety of records and tables to track fitness activities such as body composition, body mass index, aerobic and strength training logs, and much more! INFOTRAC COLLEGE EDITION provides students with additional resources for obtaining information about topics discussed in the course. This all inclusive package gives students a wealth of tools to help them explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Review by JM for Lifetime Physical Fitness and Wellness
Rating:
This book was the assigned reading for my Health and Fitness class. I’ve read nearly the whole book and was blown away with the wealth of great information it contains. It lays everything out in a way that’s very easy to understand and follow. It covers everything from how to really eat to how to exercise in ways that will increase your lifespan and make it enjoyable. One of the greatest accomplishments of this book is making you grateful you read it, and excited to adopt lifetime health and fitness improvements.
One thing I should mention about this book: This is considered a school textbook, which is why it is so expensive (boo for price gouging). It is a fantastic book that everyone should read though, in my opinion. This is the 9th edition of the book, published in 2006. There is a 10th edition that came out in 2008, and an 11th edition coming out in January, 2010. My assumption is that the differences are minor, since the lessons the book covers are basic essentials to health and fitness, and I doubt they change every two years like the fad diets do. It seems more likely that the book is simply updated to reflect more current events as it shares examples from the media and current events (and probably to make more money for the author). Personally, I picked up this book for ten bucks used on e bay. It may be worth it to you to search around a bit before buying this at full price. Also, this book comes with a CD and nutrition/fitness log pages, plus every page in the book is perforated so they can be easily removed. If you’re considering finding this used, make sure to pay attention to these specifics. I haven’t used the CD, so I really can’t comment on it either way.
Again, this is not a suggestion for a fad diet or workout. This book helps give you the tools to adopt a nutrition and fitness plan that is lifelong. I only wish I could have read this book when I was a teen; I’d be much healthier than I am today. Regardless, I will be much healthier from now on.

Rating:
Experience with book: 30 days
Pros: Well-illustrated, detailed, informative
Cons: It’s a fitness book
I have little authority upon which to base this review, having barely read it for my 2 credit-hour course. I therefore have few negative or positive statements to make about it, except that it is a great resource for beginning a personal fitness program, or just staying educated on the subject over time.
