Book Reviews of The Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body & Your Life

Book Review: Overly Complicated
Summary: 3 Stars

Great if you are a full time athlete but If you are shopping for fitness material on Amazon you are more likely to be a keen amateur like myself. This book contains some very good material but fails to bring it together in a practical user friendly way.
I have taken some of the exercises and used them but the training programs in the book are overly complicated and time consuming despite the guidelines given.
