Summary: Motivational book for beginners
Comment: Fit for duty is a fitness book aimed for cops, but of course everyone can benefit from its contents. In the book, the authors don't give you a fitness program, but rather give you information on how to design a program that suits your needs. This is a good choice, as anyone can benefit from the book, no matter what his fitness level is.
The book contains wide-ranging information about all aspects of fitness: Cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, anaerobic fitness, nutrition, weight management, stress management, substance abuse, and so on. Sadly this information is not very in-depth, so the book is of little value to anyone but beginners. Also, there seems to be some faulty advise, at least in the weight training chapter.
On the other hand, the text is very simple to understand for even to those who have never exercised in their lives. The book is filled with examples, and there are three fictional police officers used as an example to whom it is very easy to identify with. Through the book, the authors give you strong motivational reasons as to why you should exercise, and what benefits you can get in the line of duty on being on good shape.
I recommend this book to anyone who needs motivation, or some basic information on starting a fitness program. More advanced trainers should look elsewhere.
