This really is a good book and great for people of all ages. The concept of elevating your heart rate and completing your weight training and flexiblity training makes total sense to me, and saves alot of time. I also like the idea of rating your pain level and your effort level to build your strength and cardio levels in a nice and steady pace without over or under doing it. I've integrated the Miracle Workout into my own cardio and weight training program and integrated the flexibility program in as well. I really like it. The only reason I didn't rate it a full 5 stars is I believe there are many more exercises to do than the book shows, but thats not really a valid argument, because if you learn and successfuly implement the Miracle Workout exactly as shown you will have no problem building and expanding on it. Again, I like this book and recommend it for people looking for a no-nonsense lifetime way to workout.

A very well thought out program, and a nicely presented book. Easy to follow and very effective. Obviously this workout has proved very effective for various sports teams, but even for someone starting at a very moderate fitness level, this program is fun and extremely effective to improve strength, endurance, energy and general fitness. The statistical results proving the effectiveness of this program are highly credible and thoroughly convincing. Jackson Davis has done a very nice job.

The only good thing I can say is this only cost me 58cents. I have a background in fitness going back to the 60's. I read Arnold's book back then; and was a PT(Physical Training) Instructor in the Army. I've been involved in this ever since and I read and collect alot of books. Basically he's saying a person should do cardio 1st, stretching 2nd, and resistance last....However; to be effective; a person must remain in the cardio elevated training heart rate mode while going to do the stretching and resistance. This means leaving the treadmill/elliptical/bike etc. to do the rest and quickly getting back on to keep the heartrate elevated. A few simple hand drawings are offered of stretches and exercises which require machines. No real workout is listed and the bulk is an overeducated worthless academic phoniying up figures to prove that at 62 he's stronger than he was at 30. Well I'm 60 and I know what I could do at 30; be it pushups, dips, running distance or sprints and it's less in all areas. This book and the pseudo-intellectual capitalistic pig that wrote it are no better than those TV infomercials that promise you "The Works" in fitness, losing weight, etc. if you buy their prod. Try "Ropesport" by Marty Winkler or "Bootcamp Workout" by Andrew Flach, Stew Smith, and Paul Frediani; or those military style workout books. This book is truly a waste of time even for free.
