This readable, easy-to-follow guide to physical fitness incorporates Olympic coach Carl Miller's lifetime of experience. The book discusses the benefits of the motions used in Olympic-style weight lifting that contribute to strength, endurance and flexibility and Miller has fine-tuned his approach with decades of hands-on work with clients, both men and women, from age 9 to 90. The Miller Fitness Plan works for everyone, from athletes training for competition to reformed couch potatoes and people with physical challenges. Athletic weight training movements serve as a core for sound physical fitness, enabling people of all ages and abilities to see long term benefit, and have fun while exercising. Complete with photo illustrations, testimonials for those who have used the Miller Plan and advice on motivation, this book is a unique, user-friendly manual for getting and staying in shape that can be done at any gym or at home.
The plan developed by Carl Miller is effective, as evidenced by information about successful weight competitors described on his business website. His book contains thorough descriptions of many exercises and refers to others also available on his website. For a beginner using his method, putting the exercise descriptions in some form, such as looseleaf, that would enable the user to change the sequence of the exercises would be very helpful. Perhaps a companion workbook would be appropriate. There were some small elements of the descriptions omitted that made it necessary to look at some internet videos to fill in the details. The book can be very useful to someone looking for a system of exercise.
