The fact this is the second book I have read in the last 20 years either disqualifies me as being able to review a book based on quantity - or - says that every other book I have tried to read over the years has bored me silly. This book explains things easily and simply and motivates me completely. I've implemented what Eric states and its made a huge difference in my health and fitness. Nuf said...

This volume gave me the perspective to better control how I re-enter the world of fitness. At 65 I found myself trying to perform at the levels that I did when I was much younger. This book gave me a much improved perspective toward both my diet and the pace I should be building from. Thank you.

Anyone who knows me would tell you I am not an elite athlete.

And that is why Faster, Better Stronger is such an amazing book. Not only are the techniques laid out in the book effective for serious athletes, they are FABULOUS for me too! I have learned about varying the type and intensity of my work outs on alternating days - aerobic one day, flexibility and strength training another. I have also learned about eating for protein/carb balance.

The book is very well written, taking highly technical research from two medical professionals and synthesizing all that physiology jargon into a readable format. The writer, Deanne Musolf, did an excellent job.

Don't let the size of the thing scare you. Yes, it's a real bicep curler (I lift with it sometimes) but it's so fun to read that it flies by. And so will you, on a road bike, after learning a few great tips from the pros. I LOVE this book!
