About the Book

“Healthy people come in all sizes and shapes. Regular participation in moderate intensity physical activity makes important contributions to health and well-being whether you are tall or short, skinny or fat, or young or old. We should focus on eating a healthful diet and being physically active every day, and not worry quite so much about the numbers of a scale.—Steven Blair, Ph.D., Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research

  • Emphasizes the pleasure and enjoyment of an active, healthy life, rather than concentrating on losing weight
  • Describes walking, dancing, swimming, bicycling, aerobic activity, and includes valuable safety tips
  • Boosts self-esteem and restores self-confidence
