4.0 out of 5 stars My neighbour won't give it back to me, September 20, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Conditioning for Hockey (Complete Conditioning for Sports Series) (Paperback)
I'm an over 40 player and bought this hoping to get some conditioning tips. As I was looking it over, my neighbour, a trainer at Golds asked if she could borrow it. She's using it with her clients and won't give it back - 2 months now. Now I have to buy another one for me. It has the excerise routines she feels are right for hockey conditioning.
