Customer Rating: Summary: Great for heart patients & tri-athletes & everyone else Comment: A friend gave me this after I was in the hospital for heart disease. Within a week I bought a heart rate monitor and began exercising this way. Four years later, I am still exercising regularly, and my heart is fully recovered. This approach makes exercise easy! The book is especially good because it tells how to really figure your target heart rate, and it tells you how and why you must warm up and cool down. Customer Rating: Summary: Nothing High Performance Here Comment: This book doesn't hold a candle to Heart Monitor Training For the Compleat Idiot. If you're 50, sedentary and haven't worked out in 20 years, this book will be fine for the first 4 or 5 months. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent insights, at times, choppy and disjointed info Comment: I liked the presentation of the beef of Maffetone's information, although he seems to skip around a great deal with many differing opinions. His list of followers is indeed impressive, but I feel this is a great resource for nuggets of training information. His adherence to listening to your body is admirable, but I was left wanting for more information and detail. Excellent resource for the basics of a healthy heart rate monitor based training regimen.
