Using an active learning approach, Total Fitness and Wellness, Fourth Edition gives students a solid foundation in fitness and lifetime wellness, while teaching them how to make healthy behavioral changes and lifestyle choices. The Fourth Edition includes the latest research in exercise science and expanded coverage of wellness throughout the book.

Scott Powers and Stephen Dodd are award-winning instructors who bring their expertise in exercise physiology to the text. In addition, new author Virginia Noland brings her expertise in health, wellness, and behavior change practices to this edition of the text. The authors address important issues such as nutrition, cardiovascular health, disease prevention, exercise-related injuries, exercise and the environment, and stress management. Updated coverage in the Fourth Edition includes topics of interest to today’s students, such as popular health “fads” like low-carb diets, alternative medicine, and developing effective time-management skills. An expanded media package features new activities on the Companion Website to help students understand, plan, and implement their own fitness and wellness program, and MyHealthLab, which provides all the necessary resources for fitness and wellness — including an interactive e-book - in one convenient place.
