Strength. Endurance. Beauty. Flexibility. Our nation's elite Olympic athletes have all these attributes. Their fitness and spirit are an inspiration for us all. Weekend warriors, amateur athletes, and couch potatoes alike can learn from their example and benefit from their experience. 
Whatever your physical condition or level of athleticism, Fitness for Health and Sports will help you accomplish your goals. If you want to lose weight or get in shape, this book will help you start. If you play sports, this program can help you improve your performance and avoid injury. 
To help you do this, Dr. Avila shares what she has learned while working with top Olympic athletes at the U.S. ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. In Fitness for Health and Sports she presents a balanced and integrated approach to health, fitness and sports medicine that is both comprehensive and fun. Dr. Avila teaches you how to: 
* Design your own fitness program for use at home or in the gym * Get and stay motivated to exercise * Improve your body shape with particular exercises * Relieve tension and stress * Stretch and strengthen to perform better in your chosen sport * Prevention and care for sports/exercise injuries 
The book is organized in four parts, which can be read separately or in sequence, depending on your own personal goals and interests. There are hundreds of photos and illustrations, and stories of Olympic athletes' real-life training experiences as well as their triumphs over sports injuries are sprinkled throughout. 
In addition, Fitness for Health and Sports is the only fitness/sports medicine book licensed by the U.S. Olympic Committee. A portion of the profits from this book will be contributed to the U.S. Olympic effort.
