Book Reviews of The Maffetone Method: The Holistic, Low-Stress, No-Pain Way to Exceptional Fitness

Book Review: Full of practical sound advice, my life has changed.
Summary: 5 Stars

P.Maffetone creates an air of simplicity around fitness training and health in general. He incorporates a wide range of factors affecting performance and the level of detail is perfect to use as a base for further reading but provides sufficient knowledge for any athlete to easily attain greater fitness and enjoy a healthier life. After reading the book several times I am still amazed by the breadth of subjects covered.

The best aspect of the Maffetone method is that the training and life changes are easily incorporated into a normal persons life with work and family commitments. The attainment of a good aerobic Base is fundamental to improved fitness and is stressed in every fitness text (book/magazine/web site) that I have read, and yet I know several tri-athletes who have spent insufficient time building a base and they show no imrpovement year on year. By following a pattern of monthly 'MAF' tests I have documented evidence of dramatic improvements in basic fitness as well as recording a plateau which would not have been obvious without measured testing. Needless to say my race performance has improved dramatically too, and without any Anaerobic training aside from three sprint Triathlons during 2001.

I found Philip Maffetone's advice to be sensible, educated, practical, easily understood and applied and best of all, when applied it works, with no pain.

No pain all gain, the holy grail for aspiring athletes and frustrated experienced ones alike.
