1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a book., March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Energizing Isometrics: A Total Body Workout in Only 5 Minutes a Day (Spiral-bound)

Be aware! This item could more accurately be described as a pamplet.
It consists of 22 pages (11-5"x8" sheets) printed in b&w.
Six pages are devoted to a title page, publisher's info, a
blank page for notes, and introduction and conclusions. The
"main" text has 8 pages of instructional text totalling less
than 500 words. Also, there are 14 photos on 8 pages showing a
man standing or sitting on a chair supposedly in instructional
poses. My opinion is that there is nothing in this "book" that a teenage schoolboy would find unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERYTHING IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE !, April 11, 2007

This review is from: Energizing Isometrics: A Total Body Workout in Only 5 Minutes a Day (Spiral-bound)

Do not be deceived by those people who feel a large volume is needed to covey knowledge.
I have personally used this workout too gain 50+ # on the bench alone! You do not have too jump and wiggle for hours too be fit and strong ; consider this the basic workout and add from there!
Be advised this workout and hiking is all I do and I can bench over 300 easily!
Isometrics are proven and no exercise will build more strength for time spent!
With a few added isometrics you can find easily on the web this will take more than 5min less than 15!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horribly bad value for the money., August 10, 2008

As others have stated, this book is sparse on content and a hideous value for the price. Spend an extra $15 and get John Peterson's Isometric Power Revolution: Mastering the Secrets of Lifelong Strength, Health, and Youthful Vitality. Its nearly 300 pages of information on isometrics, which makes it about 8 times the value this thing is.
