5-0 out of 5 stars Info stands test of time
Since this video came out on PBS, I have included it in my college teaching of anatomy & physiology--so many times that it finally wore out! What a simple and easy way to learn about the connection between exercise and its effect on FAT. Explains not only which exercise is best, but why. Bailey's humor is easy and appealing. I am buying another copy to show to the high school students I teach now. If you teach, it can be an invaluable teaching tool.

5-0 out of 5 stars Covert Tells It Like It Is!
This video is extremely informative as he explains all the ups and downs of weight loss and weight gain; he shows you how and why they occur and what you can do about it once and for all. Forget the fad diets you're just wasting your money; listen to someone who can truly help you for a change. I've enjoyed this video for the last 3 years and I can't say enough about this wonderful man who has changed my life!

5-0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful!
This is probably the best and most informative lecture on weight loss I've ever seen. If you're tired of dieting fads and want to know the truth about how your body processes food and stores fat(and more importantly, how to effectively burn that fat), this is the video to own. It's informative and really entertaining. The truth shall set you free!

5-0 out of 5 stars Very intelligent presentation
Disregard the comments of a reader from Iowa. I don't know which video he/she saw, but it wasn't this one. That one makes CV out to be a bigot or otherwise ridiculous misrepresentation of the man and nothing could be further from the truth.

As to the video, provides indepth physiological information to the working of fat storage and burning within the body. This information is invaluable to people who want to make intelligent and informed decisions about their lifestyle and diet. I've rewatched this video at least a 1/2 dozen times and recommend it to everyone I care about as a must see!

3-0 out of 5 stars factual information surrounded by cliched putdowns
A fast moving video with excellent computerized visuals and explanations make fitness physiology understandable! Unfortunately Covert's sense of humor relies on attempts to mimic ethnic groups, putdowns, and trite one liners, which may be offensive to some listeners. ... Read more

Author and exercise advocate Covert Bailey holds forth in his eccentric style before an appreciative audience in this program from his PBS series Covert Bailey's Fit or Fat. The three segments of this particular video focus on types of exercise, an offbeat primer on how muscles actually work, and what types of exercise will benefit the most when trying to shed excess weight. Bailey tends to pack his lectures with unashamedly goofy jokes, which he exuberantly punctuates with sounds ranging from Bronx cheers to whistles. But if his delivery veers to the weird, he also imparts a lot of information and common sense. He offers an explanation of a "treadmill test" that measures the amount of oxygen the body uses and stresses that if you want to have a "Mercedes body and not a Pinto body," what really makes the different is exercise, not just what you eat. Using an illustration of a muscle cell, Bailey shows the chemistry involved in exercising, and he finishes up by advocating what he laughingly calls his "LSD" exercise program, meaning it's best to go "long, slow distances."This is a lively and informative presentation that will give someone contemplating a reducing program good background information on how the body handles food and exercise. --Robert J.

1-0 out of 5 stars Are you crazy?
This man is an absolute bigot, and should not be considered a reference able resource to the medical or public community. He has some serious issues with the way he presents himself, and is just plain annoying.

5-0 out of 5 stars It Only Makes Sense
This is a great video packed with lots of information. I want to watch it over and over again; so much to learn here and yet he keeps it simple enough for everybody to understand. :)

5-0 out of 5 stars Easy language myth distroyer.
This is a part of a 4 tape series. It keeps the easy language and the same ability of Covert of explaning what really matters for people who whant to get fit. This particular tape doesn't bring much information but is very enjoyful and gives you another step toward the understnading of your body and how to take care of it. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Smart Exercise
This video is the worst waste of money I ever spent. I have the book "Smart Exercise" which is very informative and excellent coverage of the latest technical info on the subject. However, the video is presented for idiots--few charts and some silly remarks! DON'T BUY THE VIDEO! I have called Covert and let him know what I think. ... Read more
