Book Reviews of Isometric Power Revolution: Mastering the Secrets of Lifelong Strength, Health, and Youthful Vitality
Book Review: Another Excellent book from John
Summary: 5 Stars
I own pushing yourself to power which I really enjoyed. However, I prefer the isometric exercises contained in this book. This book has great historical background information about Isometrics. A lot of the early pioneers.
There is plenty of exercises in this book working every bodypart.
The most useful for me is the information about breathing out while contracting the muscles. Before I was holding my breath which was building up too much pressure in the brain! Therefore making isometrics unpleasant.
John has very clear rules about breathing and they are very important.
The other important tip is about effort. 60 - 70% is all one needs and this keeps it safe as well.
The other great tip is to SLOWLY build up the pressure to 60% - then hold - then release pressure slowly. I found this as well to be very important.
I love it and it's given me a renewed interest in Yoga holding postures as well. It's packed full of information and is a dream book for anyone wishing to learn about isometrics.
Creator of the Beginner Tai Chi (DVD)
