Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 & Up--Eleven chapters describe the importance of fitness for females, from goal setting, using facilities, and stretching to cardio and strength-training exercises and eating habits. The numerous recommended exercises are explained and clearly illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs. Charts list exercises for differing body parts and for basketball, cross-country, golf, softball, tennis, and track and field, and other sports that can be used by beginners or trainees. While the coverage is excellent, grammatical errors, the use of clich‚s, and insufficient introductory information in many chapters may limit readership. The list of resources includes books, magazines, organizations, and Web sites that will appeal to this audience. The index can be confusing as the exercises are listed under the equipment used or body part development and not individually. Use of this guide for specific sport exercises is this book's real value.

Also included is information geared toward teens on weight lifting, cardiovascular conditioning, joining a gym, and working out at home.
