Starting any fitness routine can be intimidating and scary if you have never done it or been out of the game for a length of time. This book is great for beginners or even those of you who have been resting on the sidelines waiting for the coach to wave you in. Well he is waving so get to it.Here is where fitness for beginners differs from other books I have read on the subject. It is actually written in a way beginners can understand and implement what they learn. She explains each component of fitness but does not overwhelm you with advanced techniques. This is a book for beginners and she respects that.The author gives some advice that I always give my weight loss clients and that is too take it slow and steady. You are new to this so take the time to learn the simple steps first and do not overwhelm yourself. Maybe it starts with walking around the block a few times but not at a snails pace as the author points out. Get that heart pumping.You do not have to run out and buy the latest treadmill or elliptical (don't know what that is? you will soon). If you are wanting to join a gym but have been holding off due to a lack of knowledge I would grab this book. What you learn will make you more confident and the intimidation will melt away.
