The West Point Fitness and Diet Book

by James Lee Anderson, Martin Cohen

Based on the cadets' fitness training program, an arrangement of exercises and nutrition information designed to keep you fit and trim, presented in a highly readable, fairly undogmatic format. The exercises, intended to strengthen the Basic Five muscle groups, include a set for cardio-respiratory conditioning; recommended for adults 18-50, with adjustments made for different fitness levels, they require 15-45 minutes a day. Anderson also suggests appropriate workouts for other age groups--elementary school children, teenagers, and those past 50. The nutrition plan is similar to Weight Watchers' food group listings rather than a strict adherence to calorie counts, and fad diets are summarily dismissed for obvious reasons. A bit too much recordkeeping for some, but otherwise straightforward and sensible.
