This text provides complete information, strategies, and motivation to help students improve the way they look, feel, and perform. The theme of this book is change-how students can take charge of their lives; overcome the many barriers to achieving fitness and wellness; and make lifestyle changes to help themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Research shows that behavioral change and motivation are vital to helping people adopt physically active, healthy lives. Physical Fitness and Wellness, Third Edition not only offers a chapter on this topic, but also weaves motivational and behavior-changing strategies throughout the book.
Covers facets of fitness and wellness that other texts overlook
To help students learn how to change, the authors provide much more than just the basics of fitness and wellness. They recognize that students must consider many factors in attempting to accomplish their fitness and wellness goals. Thus, this book not only addresses traditional aspects of fitness but also explores other influences, such as stress, nutrition, chemicals, injuries, environmental factors, and more. This new edition also integrates issues of special interest to minorities and women and contains more extensive, updated references.
Self-directed and individualized approach
In addition, the authors recognize that each student is unique and that one fitness and wellness plan does not fit all-so they offer an individualized approach. They provide strategies to help the unmotivated, sedentary student take that first step to improve health, and strategies for the highly motivated, fit student to meet even higher goals. This book allows each student to do a self-assessment and create goals based on that self-assessment.
