.Starting Strength (2nd edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Coaching
by: Mark Rippetoe, Lon Kilgore

October 21, 2007
Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" is, without question, one of the finest books of its kind. I have been going to gyms all my life, listening to people and reading many books on all aspects of weight training. Mr. Rippetoe, via his book, is the best teacher I have encountered. Whether you're a novice or an experienced lifter, "Starting Strength" will improve your performance and your outlook in the gym. It is a complete reference for the technique, and the purpose, of all the important barbell movements. It is well written, clear, and thorough. Highly recommended.

.The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess
City Travel Guides > Books > Coaching
by: Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe

December 27, 2007
If you know anything about lifting weights, then this book is not for you. I've been lifting weights consistently and seriously for about 6 years now and the exercises in this book are not meant for an experienced weight lifter. There is nothing "new" or innovative about this book or the exercises in it. Are they good exercises? Yes. But they are traditional, basic, well known weight lifting exercises that are tried & true and have been around for a long long time. This book would be great for beginnings but experienced weight lifters looking for something truly new & innovative should not expect anything new & different in this book. You can find the same exact information by reading magazines like Oxygen, Fitness Rx, & Muscle ... Read More:

Good book. Illustrates lots of techniques and tips. Still, it's always better to take lessons with a pro. Enjoyed the DVD extra.

.The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down
City Travel Guides > Books > Coaching
by: Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

June 14, 2007
The techniques described really work after a little practice. My only difficulty was relating the pictures to the text. The text does not reference the pictures so you have to read the text, look at the pictures, read again and then determine what the pictures apply to. However, the methods really work and have already helped me drop a few strokes per round in 3 weeks.

.The Triathlete's Training Bible (2nd Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Coaching
by: Joe Friel

February 09, 2004
This is the Wal-Mart of Triathlon training guides. There is a representative in every department of training, but it does not contain enough of the depth of knowledge and detail that you would like from a "Bible" to be truly satisfying. Throughout the book you will find diluted versions of other works and training books/products (Pose Method, Total Immersion, Paleo Diet, etc). I've found that reading the original sources is much more satisfying for that craving of knowledge. If you are really looking to gain in depth knowledge about the skills, training, and diet necessary for triathlon I would recommend reading the following books as either a supplement or replacement for this book:

1. Dr. Nichloas Romanov's Pose Method of Running (and DVD) ... Read More:

.The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer
City Travel Guides > Books > Coaching
by: David A. Whitsett, Forrest A. Dolgener, Tanjala Jo Kole

January 11, 1998
I've done a little running on and off for a while but never could seem to increase my level of fitness. I bought this book to challenge myself and to enjoy the running trails I have by my new house. This book is worth every penny! I am only a few weeks into the training, and I have increased my fitness level and increased my enjoyment of the experience. This book is based on a "marathon class" the professors taught that is a combination of sports psychology and fitness. It is great for beginners, and if you follow along and do exactly what the authors suggest I have no doubt you can finish a marathon. The stories from many of the students make it a well rounded experience, and I can relate to the doubts, thoughts and issues they experienced and its helpful to ... Read More:
