My body reminds me daily how old and out of shape I am. This sounds perfect
for me. I want to learn about fitness, health, exercise, and nutrition.
However, I can't find this CD anywhere! Their Web site is even defunct.
Can someone recommend a similar resource?

You don't need a CD...
Just go here:

http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/index.php

Ignore the fact that it's aimed at women.
The principles are all the same!

Good luck!
It's amazing what just 12 weeks will do for you if you are persistant!

I sit behind a computer all day, and my eating habits are the typical
American junk food diet. I need help!

I'm looking for a good computer-based training program and found the
following description on the Net:

"Bodysmith's CD-ROM Based Fitness and Weight Training Course While many
people start exercising
without learning much about how it all works, reaching your goal is much
easier when you have a basic
understanding of your body. Bodysmith's Fitness & Weight Training
Courses, offered on CD-ROM, are
a great resource for newbie exercisers and even for people interested in
getting certified as a personal trainer.
The course itself is interactive and divided into modules--an
introduction about fitness & exercise, a section on
choosing where to exercise, a chapter on designing a program, a chapter
providing examples of exercise programs
(with video clips of each exercise) and chapters that cover weight
training basics, diet information and motivation.
Each module concludes with fun little quizzes that test your knowledge
and show you how much you've learned.
While this type of instructional CD-ROM is targeted to fitness
organizations and their students, it's also an excellent
resource for anyone who loves to learn and wants to enhance their
programs with a deeper understanding of muscles,
movements and exercises."

However, I can't find this CD anywhere! Their Web site is even defunct.

stumptuous.com is great, but I would strongly recommend you take a
look at http://www.danjohn.org as well. He has a free ebook that's
excellent, and his workouts require very little in the way of
equipment.
