A must-have fitness book

By Justin T - June 3, 2011

Whether you exercise to stay healthy or are a serious athlete in training, this book is a must-have reference book. It's the best book I've ever seen in answering the "practical" fitness questions you've ever wondered about in deciding how to exercise. If you're going to be spending hundreds or even thousands of hours in training, this book will help make sure you're not wasting it. It's organized in a practical way, and you can easily jump from question to question without needing to read each page that came before it. This makes it a good reference to come back to as you continue to change your workout routines over time.

While the book consults with sports doctors, physiologists and other experts, what's unique about it is that the author has looked for scientific studies which can help prove or disprove the conventional wisdom you hear in the gym. Though the author was a former competitive athlete, he leans more heavily on his PhD background to help you understand... read more

Get the physical copy; the Kindle version stinks

By Derrick S. Shadel - July 24, 2012

I was pretty excited to read this book. And the book is good. The Kindle version is terrible. I have never had such a bad experience with a Kindle book before. The Kindle version has no table of contents. The book has 111 questions with answers and all 111 are in the table of contents (according to other reviews I read). This makes the table of contents a quick way to reference any part of the book when you have a question. Not having the table of contents reduces the usability of this book greatly.

Another problem the Kindle version of the book suffers from is what I think are sidebars. The contents of the sidebars are just inserted in the text. So I am reading along and all of a sudden the topic seems to switch; the paragraph does not seem related to the previous one. Then, suddenly it is back to the first topic again. After this happened a few times I concluded that these must be sidebars in the book. I don't know how other books deal with sidebars, but the way this book... read more

A breath of fresh air in an industry brimming with garbage

By Kynn - March 28, 2012

Whether you're new to the world of health and fitness or a veteran, you know how hard it is to sort the true, workable principles from the junk and "broscience" ("Bro, doing dumbbell presses on the exercise ball builds an awesome chest!").

Popular workout magazines are FULL of false, misleading advice, and their primary mission is to SELL PRODUCTS for the supplement companies that own them (yup)--not teach you sound, scientific principles of getting bigger, leaner, and stronger. The Internet forums are even worse, and very often, trainers don't have a clue what they're doing or talking about.

With so much confusion abound, what are you to do?

There's where books like Cardio or Weights come in. The author was a competitive athlete with a PhD in physics, and he uses logical, fact-based reasoning to address many common questions and issues that athletes face. Things such as...
