Third Edition
(Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics, 2003).
Principal author, Dr. Walter Thompson

The American College of Sports Medicine's guide for becoming a regular exerciser, for health, fitness, and fun. Dr. Jonas contributed chapter 3, "Getting Ready to Exercise." His chapter focuses on the mental essentials of how to go about changing one’s behavior for health. It presents an original five-step process for doing this which he now calls the Ordinary Mortals® Pathway to Mobilizing Motivation (see the notes available on this website).  It marks the first time that a chapter on behavior change has been included in this classic ACSM manual.
