Get results without overtraining
As the mother of 11-month old, I am still in the process of losing the dreaded last ten pounds. Although most people tell me that I don't even look like I've had a baby, they don't know that I have to squeeze into the jeans that used to fit me perfectly because my stomach isn't as flat as it used to be. I'm one of those girls the magazines call "skinny fat"--thin with no physical strength or ...

Human Kinetics Publishers, 2006

clear and concise
The illustrations are outstanding and even younger students can make sense of them. It's a great addition to the ballet teacher's bookcase and is helpful when you can't quite figure out how to increase flexibility in a pupil with, for instance, limited turnout. It gives several options for stretches and shows the primary as well as the secondary muscle groups being worked on. It gives thorough ...

Miracle Stuff
Resistance stretching is incredible. First I read the book and did a couple of weeks of self stretching. Improvements began immediately. My knee and shoulder both had chronic pain for over 20 years. At 54 I had given in to my body being riddled with arthritis and that I would just have to live with it. Was I wrong ... after stretching for 3 months ... some assisted ... I can now state that I am ...

Lou Schuler, Ian King

Rodale Books, 2003

Authoritative indeed!
Out of all the work out books/magazines I've read, I must say, I was quite impressed with how detailed this book was. Not only does it give you a well thought out work out plan that caters to different types of people, it also explains the science behind working out and the body which is crucial to becoming successful and muscular. The only thing I disliked was the rather anemic section on what ...

Triumph Books, 2008

It has what it has to have!
Excellent book!This is what I was looking for: open and do. The exercises are very creative, very good, the book has tips on every page and also at the end there is a full program for beginners. You can perfectly use the book to exercise at home or at the gym (I do both). I am not a beginner and I found lots of exercises I have not seen before, they break the routine of my workouts and stimulate ...

A must-read book
Coach Dos' book Power Training is a phenomenal book. It has totally revolutionized my training. After 10 yrs of doing traditional bodybuilding routines, i.e. Chest on Monday, Back on Tues, Legs on Wed, etc etc. I read his book and finally got on board with the concept of total body conditioning and push-pull routines. I feel stronger, more athletic and more coordinated than ever. I feel like I'm ...

LIFT WEIGHTS!!!
I recently bought their other book "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and decided that I needed this one as well since I am a Personal Trainer. I like how they bring it back down to the basic classics that have worked for centuries. Power lifting is the original functional training. And with all these crazy fads its nice to see some good common sense advice. These moves maybe classics but they ...

Facercises really work
I'm commenting on the facercise program (the exercises) and not necessarily the book. I did purchase it but didn't have the patience to read it (that's just me). I highly recommend purchasing the dvds instead. The visual demo vs. written explanation is much better to follow in my opinion. I make time to facercise once a day, virtually every day, and I must say, my face looks great. Better, ...

Absolutely fantastic!
OK. I know this is a guy book and I'm not a guy. Let's start with that. I was led to this book because I had read about it in one of my publications. I absolutely detest cooking and I have a panic attack just thinking about the kitchen. My mother taught me to drive and type. She didn't teach me to cook. I've bought many cookbooks and hate them all. They're all too complicated for my ...
