The author's brief quiz reveals one's color-coded exercise personality--based on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator]--and provides better exercise choices in tune with an individual's personality. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has good information for those who need guidance in selecting the right exercise. It also helps in confirming that you are already doing the exercise that best suits you. It is interesting to match your personality with a color and even more interesting to do it with input from others. I picked the book for information and then discovered that it also can be used for a lively discussion with family and friends.
Tools for the exercise battle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
In Younger Next Year, Chris Crowley explained very clearly WHAT I need to do in the way of exercise and Harry Lodge was just as clear WHY I need to do it. All well and good but it took Suzanne Brue in The 8 Colors of Fitness to show me HOW I could get my head around the everyday reality of exercise. I know I can use all the tools that there are in this battle. Both books are great and necessary, why don't you sell them as a package?

Was the author following me around while I was postponing my good intentions about a fitness plan? She made me realize that one-size-fits-all is no more accurate in a fitness center than in a dress shop! There is the first step.. Having been a teacher and/or a student for all my life, I have known that there are certainly different strokes for different folks. However, the way this author uses this concept to explain a fitness program is helpful to me. There is the next step...as I continue-in the author's words-to search for ways to make physical activity a more natural part of my life. Thank you for an informative, useful, and fun read!
Fitness & Wellness Made Easier
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I was amazed at the insight this book offers, that fitness can be made more enjoyable by relatively easy changes. It's a new concept, which doesn't happen often when reading a book. Everyone has heard of Myers-Briggs, and everyone knows that staying fit greatly increases health and thus the quality of life. Still, though, everyone knows that fitness can be boring, making it awfully unpleasant -- hence, hard to do. Okay, but this book helps solve that problem. You gauge your personality type and then choose the type of fitness which will be most interesting for you. And that makes it more likely that you'll do it. So read this book and live a happier and healthier life -- thanks to this new author. Ken Adelman
