useful resource
This book appears to be a pretty darn good resource for fitness prescription and testing. I have read much of it and it is pretty well written and quite clinical. So if that's what you need, then this book is it. However, I was intending to get books to study for the ACSM Personal Trainer certification. This is NOT the book for that. Now granted, they recommend this book on their website, ...

ACSM Fitness Book
This is a basic fitness book for people who have not been active, or who have been somewhat active but not consistently. It is definitely a "start where you are" book, with lots of good basic information about how to get started for those who are a little nervous about it. It would be a great book for health professionals to direct their patients who need to get moving to. There is a chapter ...

Not for Beginners
I tried reading this book the first time and only understood about 20% of what i was reading. So I stopped, bought and read the book Physiology of Sport and Exercise before reading this one, believe me it makes a big difference. This is an advanced book with advanced terminology, but damn is it thorough. This first few chapters are boring because they mostly talk about the locomotion involved ...

The book was also well-written, easy to comprehend and a must buy to anyone needing to become certified. I also used the following which I found to help me also on the anatomy and physiology portions of the test. Anatomy and ...

excellent!
This book benefits a lot to the initial trainers who even have no idea of how to deal with the training. The book is both practical and praticable to the trainer's learning how to train others with his/her own training experience. Though there are not enough illustrations in the book, I still strongly recommend the book to beginning trainers.
