From Workout music to cycling clubs - a huge collection of links that take you to virtually every fitness site on the Internet. Not much discrimination or guidance here, but sometimes you just want to surf.

The site's primary purpose is to disseminate information on exercise and nutritution. The site achieves this goal by providing a comprehensive directory of fitness related sites that is updated monthly.

The site is divided into five separate pages. The Home Page presents the current Site of The Month, information on what has been added and/or changed in the most recent update, a listing of the new sites included in the update and a detailed description of the various categories presented on the two link pages. The Links Page and the Text Links Page are comprehensive directories of fitness related sites. Both pages are identically categorized by subject and sport, but the Text Links Page that does not contain the colored background and shows the table of contents in a list format. The Previous Sites of the Month Page provides descriptions of sites previously awarded the designation. Fitness related classified advertisements can also be found here.

NPFT is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students at Purdue University, under the direction of President, Ron J. Clark.

The 150-plus articles found here are generally pithy and to the point. Because it's a non-commercial site, it's possible that the articles here are more reliable than some others on the Internet. For example, here's a sober comment from an article comparing free weights and fitness machines: "While there is value in the use of both free weights and resistance exercise machines, method selection is more a matter of preference and goal orientation. When the smoke clears, an appropriate mix of both free weights and machines seems to make the most sense."

Covers a broad range of fitness topics, from the anatomy of muscle and aerobic training to how to participate in an on-line fitness newsgroup.

The opening page should be familiar to anyone who belongs to a fitness club, but our link goes directly to the Library.

As the Webmaster says, "Welcome! Get comfortable, relax and spend some time browsing through a variety of fitness-related topics that will educate, inspire and guide you down the road of healthful living."

• In The News: through links with various organizations, the site provides "timely information in all aspects of fitness, health and nutrition."
• Nutrition Made Easy: how to put together a "nutritious eating plan."
• Getting & Staying Active: they'll "try to keep you moving!"
• Managing Your Weight: Effective weight management.
• Also includes Book Reviews and Monthly Features

Some of the articles are cheery, but vacuous. But there are enough good things to make it worthwhile--at least once.
