Summary: A great book for gauging your fitness level and health
Comment: This book, sensitive to age and gender, perceptively breaks down fitness and health thorougly with topics ranging from nutrition and yoga to total body and mind care. With very colorful and intuitive charts the information is easily conveyed whether concerning weight charts, life progress or the respiratory system.
Since published in 1998, I havent seen a more thorough fitness book. The simple and nonjudgement chapter on sexuality is especially nice. The section on preventing accidents and dealing with stress makes the book worth 2-3 times what it is sold retail for.
The yoga poses, and stretches in general, are pictured a little inaccurately but that area is best serviced by a specific book, either Jean Couche's "The Runner's Yoga Book" or even Mehta's "Yoga the Iyengar Way",
A must for every family and cherished by this single athlete.
