Personal Fitness Training: Theory & Practice

Very good and worthwhile read. I thought it was going to be more simplistic but it truly covers many different facets of the human body. It also goes into depth about aspects of the human body, i.e. muscles, bones, chemical processes in the muscle tissues, an array of diseases, etc. I also liked the manner in which the material was presented. From Wellness to even an appendix on various medications was clearly presented. If anyone is interested in personal fitness, this book is a must read. Be aware that most chapters go into a much more indepth explanation of topics than you might be expecting. Also, I was impressed with author and many of the contributing writers, which included MD's, RN's, PhD's and RD's.

This book is available on afaa.com for 59.99 plus shipping. This price is ridiculous.

This product is greatly recommended for those seeking to take the Personal Training certification, but is ONLY $59.99 + taxes & shipping on AFAA's website. Also if you're a current member you recieve an extra 10% off. The current price rating of this book on this site so far is ridiculously OVER PRICED! That's bad business and sad!
