Book Description

January 1996
With everything we know today about health and physical fitness, it's surprising to learn that American men are nearly 10 times more likely to be overweight then they were a century ago. Now, with the publication of "Men's Fitness Magazine's Complete Guide to Health and Well Being," the editors of "Men's Fitness" magazine with the aid of a distinguished 22-member editorial board have put together the ultimate reference for men seeking to maximize all aspects of their well-being, whether physical or psychological. Stressing a "total health" approach, the book addresses a broad spectrum of issues that affect and concern men of all ages and lifestyles.

"Men's Fitness Magazine's Complete Guide to Health and Well-Being" is a one-stop resource for men who want to take charge of their total wellness. The book covers the full range of men's physical and psychological needs -- from exercise, health, diet and nutrition to self-improvement, body image, stress management and personal relationships.

Filled with charts, self-tests, and sidebars, this book links physical and emotional health and fitness to give an informative and unique perspective on the increasingly popular topic of men's health.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

What does it mean to be a man? That definition is constantly changing. So are men's health concerns. This comprehensive manual takes on even the most intimate of issues that men (come on now) find important, like penis size. But more than that, it's a common sense guide to obtaining health, happiness and well-being.

From Publishers Weekly

Immensely informative and insightful, this comprehensive guide lives up to its claim of completeness and deserves a place in every man's personal library. Eschewing the glitz that sometimes gilds Men's Fitness magazine, the authors cover issues ranging from embolisms to orgasms, skin care to romantic relationships. Chapters are organized into such areas as physical health, mental health, body image, food, sexuality, relationships, aging and fitness. A final chapter explodes "Nine Myths About Men," including the ever-popular "If your mother's father was bald, you'll be bald too." Boxed lists, suggestions, sidebars and short features punctuate the pages and include such topics as "Real Men Use Moisturizer," "Gay/Straight Friendships" and an excellent essay by Arnold Schwarzenegger on "Advic for Aging Weight Trainers." Sidestepping sexist language and hipster cliches, the authors dispense clear, well-focused advice, whether it's as practical as what a heart attack feels like or a more thoughtful reflection on male anger. There are recipes for high-performance weight-loss menus and suggestions for a simple yet effective weight training and exercise program. This is a standard-setting title. Author tour.
