3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but limited., July 19, 2004
By Anthony "mrwhy" (San Gabriel Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: The Interval Training Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat with Anaerobic Exercise (Paperback)
This book discusses interval training and is a good starting point for anyone who is new to the concept. However it is basic, and unless you have no idea what is meant by "interval training" then you will not learn anything new. At its heart the message is, go really fast for a minute, then slow down for two minutes, repeat until done.

The most glaring problem is that the book only talks about interval training as manifested in the traditional cardio sports (running, swimming, cycling, etc.) It does not talk about ways to incorporate interval concepts into your strength training routines, and even worse does not adequately talk about how to incorporate your strength training with the interval program recommended.

I think this book is most useful for the type of people who "just run" (or just "whatever") at a steady pace for a predertmined time and have no plans to lift weights. However, if you are looking for a more holistic program that will cover more aspects of fitness, then I would suggest searching further.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional personal fitness program., May 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Interval Training Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat with Anaerobic Exercise (Paperback)
This book is like having my own personal trainer. As someone who exercises to stay in shape and manage my weight, my biggest problem has been a lack of an effective, step by step plan that I can use in the limited time I have to workout. The authors have distilled a very scientific, elite level exercise concept down to the point that a normal person like myself can use it easily and effectively in as little as 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. I have always had the motivation, but now I have the plan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interval Training - An essential part of any fitness program, July 8, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Interval Training Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat with Anaerobic Exercise (Paperback)
In my capacity as Medical Director of 2 Fortune-50 companies I have had the occasion to review numerous fitness and health promotion programs. Dr. Nitti's Interval Training offers a common sense approach to physical fitness which is applicable to the average person as well as to world-class athletes. It is refreshing to finally see a fitness program that is scientifically based and does not attempt to repeal the laws of thermodynamics or the principles of human physiology. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about physical conditioning.

I love training this way. It is so efficient. I've lost more weight using the intervals than just doing one activity for 30 minutes without speeding up or slowing down. Read more
