Exercise physiologist and personal fitness trainer Gerrish has compiled an inspirational framework for unraveling Unidentified Fitness Obstacles (UFOs). Initially, he analyzes self-sabotaging patterns of emotional barriers, energy blocks, and societal pressures that fuel fitness failures. Taking a psychotherapeutic approach, the author explains how physical energy is affected by such mental states as depression, perfectionism, and biochemical imbalances. He encourages fitness fulfillment by exorcising the body-image ego that has been indoctrinated with consumerist obsessive-compulsive fitness aspirations. Gerrish also addresses physical, nutritional, cardiovascular, and weight-training issues. His book is packed with reasonable advice for derailing the pressures of internal and societal UFOs (e.g., seven tips to combat Frequent Exposure to Fattening Foods), although some readers may consider his conclusions obvious and too brief. Recommended for public libraries with consumer health collections. (Index not seen.)Rebecca Cress-Ingebo, Wright State Univ Libs., Dayton, OH (c) Copyright 2010.
