"how to" rather than "why."
It’s loaded with practical, usable tools and tips
that make it easy for even a novice to conduct
a successful fitness class:
- Methods for evaluating and improving participants’
health and fitness
- Fitness evaluation forms that instructors
can copy and distribute to class participants
- Information based on the latest research and
major position statements, such as the Surgeon
General’s Report: Physical Activity and Health
and recommendations from the American College
of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
- Helpful hints for changing health-related
behaviors
- Injury prevention strategies
- Program organizational strategies
- Tips for dealing with special personal conditions
and environmental problems
- Ideas for handling the human relations side
of exercise leadership
- Sample programs
- Much, much more
This easy-to-use text is organized into six sections,
with over 90 illustrations that emphasize the
methods and activities discussed. Part I deals
with the fundamentals: What is physical fitness?
How does it differ from performance? What are
the components of a physical fitness program?
Part II addresses one of the primary responsibilities
of any fitness leader: helping potential participants
determine their current health status and decide
on the first steps toward fitness. Part III provides
a more complete analysis of the various components
of fitness:
- Body composition
- Nutrition and weight control
- Aerobic fitness
- Muscular strength and endurance
- Flexibility
- Low back health
- Stress reduction
In Part IV, the authors present the contents
of a complete physical fitness program. Part V
provides a brief overview of the scientific bases
for fitness programs, and Part VI tells how to
make every fitness program safe and effective.
Fitness Leader’s Handbook can be used alone or
in conjunction with the guide for participants,

as a guide, instructors can lead every class with
confidence!
