There are a lot of reasons for me to both like and recommend this book. For a beginner like me, it covers the HIIT process in detail, but more important, it provides simply routines, breaking each down into a formula that was easy to understand.
And there was absolutely nothing left out. Whatever your preference, treadmill, ropes, resistance, it has been taken into account and a HIIT formula provided.
One of the things I appreciated most, however, was the number of charts and illustrations. In one, it gives a detailed breakdown of a meal plan for weight loss, and, because needs vary, it was ranged based on your weight. I’ve not seen that before, but it was very much appreciated. Another chart gave the same information for a bodybuilder.
Now, as no one else is saying it, I feel the need to weigh in on this too: there are some criticisms of this book expressed in the reviews that don’t stand up. Having just read the book, the details are fresh in my mind, and many of the critics are simply wrong in their facts. The book covers every possible scenario and answers every question, such as how many routines and what length of time is required to achieve afterburn, and the book also states, “HIIT workout boosts metabolism for up to 48 hours after completing a full routine.”
It took me an hour to read the book, so the information is not being presented slow or tedious. There is no need to skim and miss the facts. And the book is chock-full of interesting statistics and details that are designed to motivate. And I’m definitely motivated after reading it.
As results are designed to show in 14 days, I’ll be back in two weeks to report my experience, but my first day with the book was enlightening. The 100% exertion is an exhilarating change to exercise.

As a personal trainer, this is the first book I feel fully confident giving to my clients. I have up to an hour with my gym’s clients and that’s not sufficient to give them all the details about HIIT as they are provided in this book. I feel confident starting both new and advanced clients with Power’s book because I know they’ll come back to the gym ready for me to motivate them through the workout. And with 20 minute routines, I can get my clients in and out of the gym in 30 minutes.
For me, the best thing about this book is the author does the hardest part of my job for me. He convinces the reader that short bursts of high intensity activity are better for overall health and fitness than slow repetitious workouts. Besides laying out all the evidence to support HIIT, he does my job again by providing easy to follow diet and nutrition guides, even listing sample weekly menus for both beginners and advanced body builders.
As if all that weren’t good enough, as an advanced practitioner of HIIT, I learned a few new moves as well. For instance, there is a nice look at working with a kettlebell that I had great success with.
One of my clients expressed concern based on some of the reviews, but whatever errors may have been present in the first edition, this second edition has none. If the book did have problems, they’ve been fixed.
Frankly, the book is my time saver. It’s the first thing I ask my clients to read. Not only does it provide all the information a beginner needs, it motivates, and it sets us both up to work perfectly in tune with a common goal on achieving peak fitness.

outdated and shallow
There's nothing in this book that is worth reading. The science is not clear and it does not have a single footnote with sources. The info about carbs I outdated. I don't recommend this book.

Great overall explanation of HIIT
This book does not really give a specific plan. It does explain HIIT and lays a good foundation for understanding how it works. For the price and the content I would say this is a good value.
