3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but limited., Jul 19 2004

By	Anthony "mrwhy" (San Gabriel Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

This book discusses interval training and is a good starting point for anyone who is new to the concept. However it is basic, and unless you have no idea what is meant by "interval training" then you will not learn anything new. At its heart the message is, go really fast for a minute, then slow down for two minutes, repeat until done.

The most glaring problem is that the book only talks about interval training as manifested in the traditional cardio sports (running, swimming, cycling, etc.) It does not talk about ways to incorporate interval concepts into your strength training routines, and even worse does not adequately talk about how to incorporate your strength training with the interval program recommended.

I think this book is most useful for the type of people who "just run" (or just "whatever") at a steady pace for a predertmined time and have no plans to lift weights. However, if you are looking for a more holistic program that will cover more aspects of fitness, then I would suggest searching further.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional personal fitness program., May 29 2001

By A Customer

This book is like having my own personal trainer. As someone who exercises to stay in shape and manage my weight, my biggest problem has been a lack of an effective, step by step plan that I can use in the limited time I have to workout. The authors have distilled a very scientific, elite level exercise concept down to the point that a normal person like myself can use it easily and effectively in as little as 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. I have always had the motivation, but now I have the plan!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Interval Training Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat, May 9 2003

By A Customer

I love training this way. It is so efficient. I've lost more weight using the intervals than just doing one activity for 30 minutes without speeding up or slowing down. I especially love the XL (I usually run on Sunday nights and it clears my head for the week).

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to save time and become efficient at working out.
