Series Consultant: Diane H. Hart, President, National Association for Health and Fitness; Founder/Director, Hart to Heart Fitness

This series explores different aspects of an active, healthy lifestyle, from physical exercises of different varieties to healthy eating, from the mental benefits of exercise to tips to making a workout plan. EACH BOOK HELPS THE READER MAKE SMART HEALTH DECISIONS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. Research shows that young people who are physically active or participate in sports are less likely to face health issues as they become adults. Meanwhile, childhood obesity—often a result of lack of exercise—has become a serious concern. The need for young people to be more active is clear, but for many young people, making a commitment to physical activity can seem daunting or even impossible, particularly without good information on how to integrate fitness into their everyday lives. Early education can make a lifetime of difference!
