Product Description
“Healthy people come in all sizes and shapes. Regular participation in moderate intensity physical activity makes important contributions to health and well-being whether you are tall or short, skinny or fat, or young or old.

While I don't have anything to add regarding the health benefits of the book (other than to say it's inspired me to ge moving again), I wanted to warn potential buyers that the book is a "Backinprint.com" edition - which means the text looks as if it was reproduced from photocopies or faxed pages. Additionally, this quality results in horrible, terrible image quality -- which is painfully evident on the front page of the book...

Pat Lyons and Debby burguard have written an easily applied, easily understandable throughly knowledgable book about the fitness issues facing fat/large/big women. They are total believers that fat/large women can be both fit and fat. The focus here is on the attainable and on fun! I loved this book and I love Pat and Debby for writing it and for practicing what they preach (altho' really, they don't preach at all). Well worth the time and money. It encourages, gives hope and practical suggestions.

Intimidated by the tiny chicks you see in aerobics classes?
Fear no more! While the fitness industry implies otherwise,
large women, too, have the right to exercise and be fit.
This book will inspire and empower you to move your body-if you want to. The authors are adamant in their stance that
large women have the same right as anyone else to work out
or choose not to. The emphasis is on having fun and enjoying
your body. While describing various activities, the book also
discusses the special needs larger women face while exercising,
such as supportive bras and sturdy shoes. There is no reason
to hide in the house and avoid life just because you are larger
than someone else! This book is gentle, encouraging, and eye-opening,
and-you may have guessed this already-written by two large
women, one who teaches aerobics and one who loves sports.
