Houghton Mifflin Co, 1-Aug-78. Trade Paperback. Very Good. No spine creases & mild shelf wear on white cover. Lightly aged pages, no writing or markings in text. Saved my body image, April 7, 2000, Reviewer: Andrea Egger Jessica's Momma"""" (Gallup, NM USA) This first of Covert Bailey's """"Fit or Fat"""" series, the 1978 publication, saved my life literally when I was a sophomore in college and had gained much weight and, although I had been a fairly active person, hadn't been exercising. Covert's 12-minute approach to aerobic exercising -- which doesn't mean just dance, it means anything that keeps your heartrate up to a certain level for a certain amount of time -- made me realize I didn't have to """"waste"""" precious time to get in shape. But most of all, I DIDN'T HAVE TO DIET! He explains the importance of light weight lifting and to basically give yourself a break and accept that none of us are going to have a perfect body. He also turned me on to jump-roping as a cardiovascular exercise, and I still love it. Anyone concerned with health ought to check out Covert Bailey!""""
