Book Reviews of Building Strength and Stamina - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Fitness via Nautilus
Summary: 3 Stars
Building Strength and Stamina is primarily an "owner's manual" for the Nautilus exercise equipment, with a photograph of each machine and a description of which muscle groups are worked. It's not hard to imagine the "how-to" page for each one of the machines printed on to a large label and stuck onto each machine - the material presented is that straight-forward and relatively spare. Nor is this particularly revelatory information for anyone who has spent some time in the gym using the Nautilus equipment. Similarly, the stamina section lays out some pretty basic principles.
Back in the day when the Nautilus system was first launched, it was ground-breaking. Using cams to create equal resistance across the entire movement, a wide swatch of gyms, schools, hotels, etc. signed on for their all-in-one solution; I can remember the shiny angular octopus of handles, stacks and framework that supplanted the old school weight room that had been the gathering spot for every off-season team in high school. But as training methods have developed and specialized, and free weights have regained favor for providing the core/stabilization training that machines eliminate, ultimately, the book feels like an artifact from a previous generation, strike one, and more of a company-sponsored infomercial (strike two) than a new approach for fitness.
