From weight lifting for men and women in the early days, to jogging in the 1970s, cycling in the 1980s, aerobics in the 1990s, and now Spinning, Kolata explains the science of conditioning and the objective evidence behind commonly accepted prescriptions. Ultimate Fitness is also a book about the individuals who have challenged and influenced or failed to influence the industry, and the many of us who have participated in this multimillion-dollar corner of American culture. 528515 2003 Ultimate Fitness: The Quest for Truth About Exercise and Health total:42|5:5|4:9|3:23|2:4|1:1| 42 139 70 10 3 2 false false Wed Aug 08 13:36:10 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 08 13:37:33 -0700 2007 3 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon May 28 14:07:02 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 14:07:02 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 20 14:19:07 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 14:22:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 06:23:19 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 06:50:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Wed Aug 20 16:37:58 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 16:41:33 -0700 2008
