Gems from Sallie,
By
This review is from: The Heart Rate Monitor Guidebook to Heart Zone Training (Paperback)
Several years ago I hired a personal trainer and literally spent thousands of dollars on him in an effort to lose weight and shape up, to no avail. I didn't lose one single pound, but I did get really, really strong. Since October 9 I've switched to combining Weight Watchers with using Sallie's heart rate program for fat loss. I've lost 14 pounds in about four weeks which is practically unbelievable for me. You almost feel guilty using such a long, slow, EASY workout after you've been used to killing yourself in the gym. Now I'm a huge fan of this book and of Sallie Edwards. I recommend going through the entire book and highlighting the parts that pertain to your goals (fat loss for me), because there are hidden gems of wisdom in nearly every chapter that will give you a much clearer understanding of what you personally are trying to achieve, even if that chapter is not about fat loss, for instance. Flip through the book and review your highlights every week or two, and you can really perfect your program. This book would probably have to be three times as big if everything were organized into neat little packets with one section on fat loss, one on competitive training, etc. Just realize from the get-go that you are going to be searching and digging for gems and don't let these comments about disorganization and lack of information dissuade you. It's all there. You just need to read it, not skim it. This book is definitely a five-star and I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting in shape, no matter what their level of skill or their fitness goals.

Excellent guide to successful training with a heart monitor.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Heart Rate Monitor Guidebook to Heart Zone Training (Paperback)
This, Sally Edwards' latest book, is also her most technical. It provides the latest research on the use of heart rate monitors to train more efficiently and safely. Utilizing the heart zone system described, one can easily and effectively pursue personal health/fitness goals with confidence. Whether your goal is weight loss, a healthy heart or to train for the Ironman Triathalon, this book can successfully guide you. As a work in progress, it will always contain the latest information. As and exercise physiologist and a world class endurance athlete, the information provided by Sally is very trustworthy. Written in a friendly style, it is easy to understand and relate to. For those with little background in sports physiology I recommend reading her book Heart Zone Training first.

The best heart rate training book I have ever read!,
By GoSpinning@The-Fitness-Edge.com (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heart Rate Monitor Guidebook to Heart Zone Training (Paperback)
As a fitness professional for 10 years, I have tried to find a book that explains heart rate training as thoroughly and as understandable as this book. I have 10 fitness instructors who work for me and this book is a required book. The descriptions are informative and easy to read and more importantly, easy to understand. I just wish the book was easier to find!
