217As a teacher of fitness， I spend much time rescuing people in a sea
of Confusion. This book is， in part， a response to that confusion. It
intends to answer the questions most commonly asked and simplify
the issues most often misunderstood. I propose to do this， not by
directly confronting these questions and issues， not by wading
through the controversy; instead， by wiping the slate clean and
starting again. This means going back to the basics and considering
the proper principles of exercise. There aren t that many of them
and the logic behind them isn t that difficult to grasp. But they re
crucial. They serve as the foundation ~or all Rtness actlvlt-les.
Donald Pruden， in Around Town Cycling， said， \"One of the
beauties o[ teaching is that the teue]aer o[ten learas as muck as he
imparts.\" With experience， he also learns how much fo impart. This
is important in an age of fitness overeducation where information
seems overlapping and sometimes contradictory. There s an impor-
tant difference between what is necessary and what is merely in-
teresting. You need the basics to start. Details can wait. Entire
books have been written on various activities， but this is a starter
book and， try as I might， I just couldn t think of anything else that
needed to be included.
As a book for beginners， Every
the shortcomings of some of its

Body s Fitness Book aims to avoid
predecessors. Many books in the
do-this-and-you-get-this approach.
That s fine in the laboratory and works well with rats but it s not
