I purchased this to complete Texas Tech's online correspondence health course. Amazon shipped it speedily as always and I was done with the class 2 weeks later. I have to say, I planned on selling this book because I didn't think it had anything new besides the whole "don't-do-drugs-exercise-eat-greens-etc." advice but it turns out this book has workout routines, stretches, dietary info, and a wellness plan that you can use for life as the title says... needless to say, this is the sort of book you will hang on to just because the information inside is simple yet crucial for day-to-day living.

Not a bad book, easy to follow. Had to purchase it for a correspondence class and it was cheaper to buy it here than from the school. (about $10 less)

My ex-wife swore by this book and I watched as her weight decreased. I got the book and now we have a bet on who is going to lose the weight first.
Six meals a day sounded pretty good, so I thought I would try it. I just started but I know it works because I watched her do it.

My daughter is taking a correspondence course from Texas Tech. The course is "Foundations in Personal Fitness", which she needs in order to graduate from high school. I am giving this book 5 stars because it is the correct book and edition required by Texas Tech, as of July 2005. I don't know how good the book is, but every few days she brings up something that she learned from this book.
