The Ultimate Fit Or Fat: An All-New Program to Get You in Shape and Keep You in Shape

America’s best-known diet & exercise expert returns with a completely revised and updated edition of the book that revolutionized our approach to fitness.

With more than three million copies of previous editions in print, this classic exercise manual has shown Americans from all walks of life the route from fatness to fitness. Now, Covert Bailey has totally rewritten and revised Fit or Fat for the first time since the book’s original publication in the mid-1970s to give us The Ultimate Fit or Fat. His dramatically new approach to fitness incorporates more recent scientific findings. Weightlifting and its fat-burning potential play a large role in Bailey’s new program, which stresses what he calls “the four food groups” of exercise: aerobics, cross-training, wind sprints, and weightlifting. He also stresses the importance of intense exercise, showing readers how to build intensity into their daily programs safely and effectively.

Covert Bailey’s TheUltimate Fit or Fat will not only be of interest to a new health-conscious generation but will be eagerly sought out by the millions of readers who have come to rely on the Bailey approach to keep their bodies in peak condition.
