Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)To the point: This book is full of fluff.If someone is an endurance athlete they most likely aren't interested in what Mr. Vestegen has to say on aerobic conditioning.I know I wasn't - I wanted some help on correcting imbalances in my body that cause too many nagging injuries that take away from valuable training time.
In this regard, the book delivers.There are a solid 40 pages of exercises that are helpful in strengthening/lengthening the core and other problem areas.Unfortunately, the book is well over 250 pages long.A good chunk of it is normal "eat well" filler, with a heaping helping of "buy my stuff" blended in.My wife's comment on the book after reading it one night was "this reads like an infomercial in print form".I think that's a bit harsh, but not far off the mark.
The good information is worthwhile - just be prepared to skip the fluff.
