4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer On Posture, December 26, 2002

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Power Posture: The Foundation of Strength (Paperback)

Lee Parore's Power Posture is an excellent book covering the basics of how the body is interconnected by a complex system of nerves, muscles, bones, joints, etc.

The book was obviously exhaustively researched, and contains tons of diagrams, illustrations and instructions on how to keep your body in good, flexible condition.

The title may be slightly misleading to some (to its own detriment), as it really oversimplifies the entire book. This is
not a book that tells you how to stand up and walk straight. It emphasizes flexibility through a number of exercises, stretches and routines, and gives you an idea of why these are so important to do.

Unfortunately, the book starts to stray a bit towards the end, away from scientific physiology and towards more esoteric principles like "being grounded", spiritualism, Zen, emotional problems, etc. I call this unfortunate because the author does not make a clear separation between the scientific facts presented in the book and his personal opinions & beliefs. While I may personally agree with him on many of these subjects, his blending of scientific fact and personal opinion really undermines the integrity of the excellent research in other parts of the book.

Most readers will either agree with the author's opinions, or be able to guess where fact leaves off and opinion begins though. Thus, I would expect that most of you who are looking for a good book on the subject will find it a useful and enjoyable read. The author's writing style keeps you intrigued and entertained throughout the vast majority of the book, despite the sometimes dry subject material. Well worth reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great information, rough read., February 11, 2003

This review is from: Power Posture: The Foundation of Strength (Paperback)

Lee presents great information, however, sifting and assimilating it into a cohesive program takes some doing. If you know your stuff it's worth the struggle.

A book that WILL make you aware of your posture!
Together with "The New Power Program" by Michael Colgan, these books are "a must have" for anybody involved in any kind of sports or those that are serious about a healthy lifestyle.
