Review:I found this book extremely helpful. While I am not in a divorce situation, someone very close to me is. I read this book in one day as I found so much of the information pertinent to what my loved on was going through. I will be sharing this book with them as well. Read more
Review:Susan P Thompson is amazing! I first found her last year - overweight and very frustrated that none of the many diets I had tried were successful on a long term basis. Susan spoke about the "badly behaving brain" and the science behind why "diets" are not successful long term for most people. Finally, someone made sense!! I signed up for the bootcamp and can say that so far I have eliminated 26 pounds! I am not at my goal yet, but I will get there... Now to have her book is a blessing for ... Read more
Review:I'm a personal trainer, running coach, and longtime runner. This book is absolutely excellent a must read for anyone who works with runners or is a serious runner. I got the kindle version and may get the print for easier reference on the assessments and corrective exercises. The tables are pretty hard to read on a kindle. Read more
Review:Being someone that would love to be able to travel the world by foot, I enjoyed the story, and the purpose. Reading the honest feelings the author had in some of the locations made this book even more enjoyable for me. Read more
Review:Mr. Michael Matthews is someone you might want to get familiar with, his weight training program, books and overall philosophy in working out is by far the best thing I have ever started and will now maintain for a lifetime. No quick fix here, this is a lifestyle change that I have been blessed to have found. Mr. Matthews tells it like it is and backs up his research with scientific journal/articles of proven results. I virtually have every one of his books. I perform his Bigger, Leaner, Str... Read more
Review:I really should have known better than to get the Kindle addition but I was anxious to read the book. I Love it! But I have to go today to get the book at the store. The exercise programs, recipes and log workout sheets are just too difficult to try and find with the Kindle. Plus you can barely read some of the workouts due to the small print and you can not make those bigger by changing the font. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Kindle but this book wasn't a good choice for it. So check your st... Read more
Review:Not impressed. This book may be good for an introduction of basic concepts to someone with absolutely no idea about diet and their body. The writing style is very elementary and paragraphs and sentences are repeated in different parts of the book- cut and paste style. "Logic says" is used repeatedly and other assumptions and claims are made without proper citing or basis. The information is basic and on point but the writing is poor in my opinion. Save yourself the $! Better yet, I'll sell ... Read more
Review:This book has lots of exercises and some good info on nutrition and plenty of workout styles (circuits, combos, complexes, and bodyweight). All the pictures are in black and white but they are descent size. Some problems I had was in chapter 3 he recommends pre-workout supplementation but no post-workout supplementation which is more important for recovery. He also recommends using protein, creatine and caffeine (pre-workout) but won't go into detail since he has written other articles regarding... Read more
