Description
Get Fit, Stay Well! Brief Edition offers one of the most modern, student-focused, flexible, and technology-enhanced approaches to fitness and wellness available today. It is the only fitness and wellness textbook to employ integrated student-case-studies throughout each chapter. It presents a thoroughly fresh art and photo program featuring strength training photos depicting real, contemporary students, modern-day equipment, and options for those with limited access to equipment. A unique three-pronged (skill acquisition, self-assessment, and plan-for-action) approach to labs helps students bridge the gap between what they know they ought to do and how they actually act. The powerful supplements package provides a comprehensive suite of classroom presentation tools, additional lab activities, and unsurpassed resources for those teaching online or hybrid classes-including audio/visual lectures, online quizzes, lab worksheets, 80+ exercise videos, and an E-book. The Brief Edition contains chapters 1-11 of the "full edition" of Get Fit, Stay Well!, with a focus on fitness topics, nutrition, weight, stress, and preventing cardiovascular disease.
