The Ultimate Fit or Fat by Bailey

The Ultimate Fit or Fat by Bailey

With more than three million copies of previous editions in print, this classic exercise manual has shown Americans from all walks of life the route from fatness to fitness. Now Covert Bailey has totally rewritten and revised FIT OR FAT for the first time since the book's original publication in the mid-1970s. His dramatically new approach to fitness incorporates the most recent scientific findings. Weightlifting, whose fat-burning potential is only now becoming fully understood, plays a large role in Bailey's new program, which stresses what he calls the four food groups of exercise: aerobics, cross-training, wind sprints, and weightlifting. He also stresses the importance of intense exercise, showing readers how to build intensity into their daily programs safely and effectively. Covert Bailey's ULTIMATE FIT OR FAT will not only be of interest to a new health-conscious generation but will be eagerly sought out by the millions of readers who have come to rely on the Bailey approach to keep their bodies in peak condition.

Covert Bailey, a prominent PBS personality and best-selling fitness and nutrition expert, has sold approximately 6 million copies of his Fit or Fat series of books. He was one of the first to emphasize body fat and body fat testing, and he has taught millions of people how to eat low-fat and exercise in pleasant and beneficial ways. Covert Bailey graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. MIT awarded him a bachelor's degree in biochemistry. He likes to brag that he spent his graduate school working with both fit and overweight rats.
