Rating: - AWESOME !
I have been a fitness trainer for 20 years. I have read many books. This one is one of the best thus far. I highly recommend it !

The book helped me not only to understand more, but also to improve fitness and even loose some weight. It goes very far beyond compared to what one gets told in fitness centers. The main approach of the book is based on energy considerations. Understanding how the body handles energy ... Read More
