3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but there are better books out there, March 28, 2006

This review is from: Health & Fitness for the Road Warrior: Consistent Fitness by Staying Consistently Healthy (Paperback)

I was disappointed in this book. It seems as if the author needed to pad his book out, so he added a lot of really basic filler material that didn't add to the subject at hand. Several times he'd write a couple of paragraphs on some subject, then tell you to go to some website, which is really annoying, especially as we all know that websites can disappear overnight, and quite often do.

The workout? Well, most hotel rooms do not come with those two folding chairs he uses, and I doubt most people want to tip someone to bring them up to them. The eating plan? He would be better advised to tell you to go to some supermarket and buy some healthy meal to heat up in the hotel microwave or a bag of prewashed salad with dressing rather than having you try to find something healthy at any fast food place.

The book itself has some very poor photography, very grainy-looking--no excuse for that in this day and age.

I'm glad I borrowed this from the library and did not buy it.

Travel Fitness, by Rebecca Johnson and Bill Tulin is a much better book, and cheaper, too.

How many times have you hit the road on business with good intentions of working out and eating right? If you read this book, you will have no more excuses. The author combines a smooth writing style with great information about fitness, sleep, diet, and lifestyle changes that will keep you fit for life. The book is a permanent part of my travel kit. Thanks Kurt!

This review is from: Health & Fitness for the Road Warrior: Consistent Fitness by Staying Consistently Healthy (Paperback)

For years I have struggled with trying to balance my family, my career, and my health. With this book I have finally learned how to get in an excellent workout in a short period of time without having to invest the time in going to the gym. The author provides some great discipline ideas to get into shape and STAY IN SHAPE. I would recommend this book to anyone who has all of the loads of family and work who realizes the necessity for good health and fitness. I haven't read anything that synthesizes the mental and physical path better.
