5.0 out of 5 stars total fitness in 30 a week, May 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Fitness in 30 Minutes a Week: Total Fitness in 30 Minutes a Week (Paperback)

This book is written for those of us who want and need to be fit. We want to be flexable, feel good and have a good chance for a healthy long life. We most certainly do not want to be a slave to our gym or exercise equipment, be suffering with shin splints or blisters or worse. Dr. Morehouse lets us in on what is fit, what it is not, and how to achieve results in 30 minutes a week without pain or injury. He has many years experience in the field and worked on the fitness program for astronauts. Some of the most facinating pages dispell the long-held myths regarding fitness: Don't drink water during exercise, sweating is good for fitness, protein makes you strong, big muscles are strong, etc. Great information that is based on facts and research. Best book on the subject written in years.

4.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE... HONESTLY!, April 7, 2006

"Total Fitness in 30 Minutes a Week" started me on the road from couch potato to (3:12) marathon runner. I bought it in the late seventies and its regime (which really does only demand 3 x 10 minute sessions a week) showed me that I COULD get fit and feel good about myself.
About three years later (1982) I ran my first marathon. I ran my latest in 2004 at age 58. I still do half-marathons, and I still keep fit.
It really was, for me, a VERY IMPORTANT BOOK.

Although the book is small, it reads like a long book; I wish Dr. Morehouse would cut the stories and focus on the facts. I can't take a star away, though, because in our world of diet/fitness programs overload, Dr. Morehouse's suggestions are simple yet revolutionary. It's a true lifetime fitness program. The plan can easily be followed.

Dr. Norman W. Walker books complement well this book.
