| Fitness is an elusive state. What is here today may very well be gonetomorrow without continual hard work, determination and disciplineFor many (particularly those who are instructors) this way of life is the onlyway of life. Because instructors are fit, they are role models in an age ofhealth awareness. In sharing with others their enthusiasm, sense of well-being, and love for fitness, they are often regarded as fitness "experts."But is an exercise instructor prepared for the more encompassing task offitness education? Has he or she the knowledge and tools to do a good andsafe job? Or, have the guidelines for instruction been as elusive to instructors as fitness itself is to most of the population? Up until now, th?aerobic exercising professional has not had a hands-on workbook to adviseand guide her/his daily quest for the best injury-free exercise program.Using the combined talents and expertise of the advisors, AFAA has writtenthe first complete set of these long overdue guidelines.

Among the reviewers, special recognition is extended to NeilSol, Ph.D., for his diligence in coordinating these efforts. He and theeditor, Phyllis G. Cooper, R.N., spent countless hours that only come froma professional s deep commitment to excellence. The emphasis of this book is on the exercise considerations for adult,able-bodied participants. Special needs of persons with disabilities, pre-andpost-partum women, children and seniors, could not be adequately covered |
