Publisher's Synopsis
It is now recognized that testing provides an all important boost to exercise, lifting the person through the "motivation barrier" and converting effort into an important investment in personal health. By using a points system, for anything from walking up a flight of stairs to a strict exercise programme, this book allows the reader to assess and improve their own fitness. The book provides an easy-to-use programme that shows the positive benefits of assessment as a continual feedback to exercise. The plan is designed to monitor health, demonstrate change, motivate, reward and determine the safest progression for every individual.
