Exercise for Heart and Health

Exercise IS important to your health. It should be something you enjoy and something you can do at least 3 or 4 times a week. This book will help you make wise decisions about exercise. The first part helps you understand your body, the three parts of exercise, diet, environment and the dangers of exercise. The second part gives you actual exercise programs to try. People who already exercise can use this book as well as people who are just thinking about exercise. It can also be used by people who have a health problem and by pregnant women. All we ask is that you know the exact state of your health before starting to do any regular exercises. If you are already under a doctor's care, get his or her advice before doing any of the exercises we show. Most of all, we want you to exercise safely and have fun doing it.
