As an outdoor fitness instructor, I have been able to use several of the exercises. Great suggestion from my Chiropractor!
 Disappointed April 30, 2008

This book is not written that well. It could be organized better. It reminds me of a term paper thrown together from bits and pieces of other reports.
I find the exercise drawings hard to follow. Photo sequences would have been better.
Make sure you examine this one at the bookstore before you order it.
Power training for all levels June 8, 2007

This book explains, with easy to understand illustrations, various exercises for power, speed and agility (to enhance athletic performance). All exercises have little pictures of all sports which especially benefit from these exercises, like baseball, basketball or power lifting...even more `exotic' sports such as fencing, skiing or horseback riding.
The exercises suggested in this book can be used for specific athletic training or to add some fun and variety to your own workouts :-)

this book is a top recommended reading from all leading authors in strength and conditioning. However, you should also buy the companion dvd in order to help facilitate the exercises in the book.
 A Good Intro to the World of Plyometrics August 8, 2001
37 out of 38 found this review helpful
This book does an excellent job introducing the topic of plyometrics to the reader. It discusses the different types and categories of jumps as well as the varying intensities. It even gives sport specific plyos as well as sample programs. However, this is not the definitive book on plyometrics. I think of it as more as a good reference tool. I would really recommend "High-Powered Plyometrics" for even more in depth info on this wonderful method of training.
