Customer Reviews

Excellent book

Ilg obviously knows his stuff and he conveys it well. Easy to read, to follow,but not necessarily to do. Expect hard work. However, if you do, you will become a better athlete in whatever sport you enjoy.

Best conditioning book for the weekend warrior ever written

Steve Ilg writes with the goal of enhancing your enjoyment of your outdoor activity. Skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and many other "sports" are enjoyed by millions of weekend warriors, but seldom do we "train" for our outings. If your looking for a "get fit quick" scheme, this isn't it. It is a sensible, no nonsense approach to a lifetime of health and fitness. If followed, it is the best training guide written for the outdoor athlete, or anyone wanting to get a little more out of life. Excellent exercise descriptions, programs with movements modeled by the author. Steve Ilg is obviously well read, and it is reflected in his ability to convey his thoughts on paper
