Review

“Very educational and highly motivational. Biller's innovative approach for achieving better health and fitness through enjoyable exercise and lifestyle activities is most refreshing. If you are looking for a different view of exercise that can easily fit your psyche and your schedule, read Creative Fitness.”–Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D. Senior Fitness/Research Director, South Shore YMCA Consultant, President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports

“Henry Biller has done it again: assembled in one volume, eye-opening and life changing ideas and advice, rooted in certain science, that positively alters the reader's attitude toward the fascinating partnership of mind and body. In a fresh synthesis of exactly relevant data from psychology and physiology, Biller tells us crucial things about the interplay between nutrition, play, exercise, body image, aging, stress, illness, and well-being. Don't bother with anything else if you want to feel and look better, at any age.”–Kyle D. Pruett, M.D. Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Yale Child Study Center and Medical School

“Biller illuminates the physical and psychological markers that light the road to self-fulfillment. His creative approach to fitness transforms "I need to exercise" into "I want to exercise.”–Sheldon Cashdan, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Psychology University of Massachusetts

“At a time when obesity is increasing at epidemic proportions, Creative Fitness is essential reading for professionals and the public. As Biller guides us through one benefit after another, we come to appreciate that fitness is the bargain basement of behaviors. So if you like bargains, this is the book for you.”–James O. Prochaska, Ph.D. Director of the Cancer Prevention Research Center Professor of Clinical and Health Psychology University of Rhode Island
