However, for the best possible performance in the class, it is recommended to choose ONE of the following books (listed in order of importance):
  Hoeger, W.W.K., & Hoeger, S.A. (2011). Lifetime Physical Fitness and Wellness (11th ed.). Brooks/Cole Pub. ISBN-13: 9780538737463. Note that this can be purchased as an electronic textbook.
