Classic and Inspiring Work on Bodyweight Exercise,
By 10ashus (Southern California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Herschel Walker's Basic Training (Paperback)
This book explains how Hershel Walker worked out as young man with nothing but pushups, pull-ups, and running to get in great physical shape for football. The story is inspiring because it shows that fancy equipment and gym memberships are not needed to get in great shape. All you need is desire and consistency to DO these basic exercises.
The book includes a workout schedule that is designed to increase effort over time. You will have to find a pull-up bar to do the program. I bought the book on Amazon and paid a collector's price, but it was well worth it. I gave the book to my boys and it inspired them to do push-ups and pull-ups in their room every night before going to bed.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Basic Workout Book,
By Aaron Bennett "Horror Writer/English Teacher" (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Herschel Walker's Basic Training (Paperback)
I just got Herschel Walker's Basic Training by Herschel Walker and Terry Todd, PhD and read the whole thing yesterday. I see why people don't want to get rid of theirs and the aftermarket used price is so inflated. I saw the book on eBay mixed in with a grab-bag of fitness books for less than I'd ever seen it alone, so I snapped it up.
Walker's autobiographical stuff is very interesting and adds a personal dimension to the book. Todd's stuff adds a great deal with the science behind the exercises and is really what takes this book from a basic exercise manual to a classic book in the field. The plans in the back would be invaluable to young athletes looking to start out, and as the programs go to the Advanced level, they are helpful to more experienced athletes as well. I liked the included Karate, sprinting, stretching, and water workout tips. It does cover basic weightlifting, as even Herschel Walker needed to add some iron to his regimen when he hit the pros. Overall, I think it's a great book that deserves a reprinting. If you haven't read it, track down a copy. It should be in every functional-fitness buff's library.

My hero,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Herschel Walker's Basic Training (Paperback)
Herschel walker has been a hero and role model of mine for a long time, especially now that he is fighting competitively in his late 40's. The book shows a number of different push up variations in addition to Mr. Walkers personal experiences with different types of exercise. Push ups work, they take more discipline and time than weights but there is less injury as well.Pushing Yourself to Power: The Ultimate Guide to Total Body Transformation
