This book made sense, however, the first half of the book seemed like an infomercial to me. I am reading the book because I am interested in strength training and proper ways to exercise, you don't need to keep bombarding me with sentences that end in exclamation points telling me to join the Slow Burn Revolution.

Also, I would like to have seen actual studies referenced in this book. Throughout the chapters it is stated frequently that "studies actually show," but there are no foot notes so that I can look at the studies myself. I would like to see that in a book that is touting a totally different way to exercise than what is recommended by most health professionals.

I think this book may have a valid method based on some of the testimonials I have seen and that the exercises shown are very similar to a ballet conditioning workout that I tried. I am willing to try the plan and see if it makes a difference in my own strength, flexibility, and fitness.

Good. Repetative.
I haven't tried the exercises yet. But am looking forward to doing so! It took me so long to read the dang thing. Interesting Information on how the muscles respond to work outside. Focuses heavily on genetic make up. I've always always have had a hard time be fit and toned no matter what I did or ate. So. Hopefully this will help in some form or fashion.

Edited to add: I really like how they thoroughly detail what you can use at home to help keep exercising low cost. As well as a full week of meal ideas!

An interesting concept about a different than the common way of working out.

I don't think I've ever read a fitness book cover-to-cover, but this one was fascinating because it went into the biology of why I should exercise a certain way. Since my chiropractor recommended it to me, I think this is going to make a difference in helping keep me fit into old age.

I'll have to re-rate this after I actually start the regimen. I read about this in the newspaper, so got the book from the library and read it. Everything they say makes sense. Because of my particular health issues, my doc says I HAVE to do weights and strength training as I get older. The problem is that I HATE the gym. I like to hike and do yoga, etc, but I HATE the weight room. So I just feel like I will never be able to sustain a program because I'll never be successful doing something in the long term that I totally hate. This program promises you'll be in the best shape of your life doing ONE weight workout a week for 30 minutes. Ok, that I think I could sustain. So I'll try it. As soon as I get back from vacation! Let y'all know how it goes.

This is an argument for less exercise, but more quality exercises utilizing a "slow burn" method that really taxes your muscles to fatigue. Their is evidence that this method is sufficient giving a person basic fitness and they also think that this sort of weight oriented training produces a fat-burning process in the body. I was interested in this book after seeing a scad of "7 minute exercise" videos come out with a study backing up its efficacy.

I am glad I got if from the library. You can glean the basic information in about 15 minutes from this book. If you are going to implement this system the exercises are described in the text and that would be helpful to have around.

I don't have all the equipment recommended, so I have done this workout a few time with modifications. I do feel that I am working my muscles hard and have even been sore, but it just isn't as effective as it could be if I had the right equipment (my weights aren't heavy enough). I would recommend a count up timer. I am planning on getting the PT1A 4 event timer and clock by CDN (http://www.cdn-timeandtemp.com/consum...).

I enjoyed reading this book; the logic behind Slow Burn seems very sound. I have several friends following this exercise regimen and they highly recommend it; I've been doing so for about a month and a half, and already I feel stronger. The workouts are intense but short, making it a great method for busy people with little spare time.

Dopo anni ed anni di palestra un ottimo sistema di allenamento. Semplice ed esguibile anche in casa. Senza traumi. I risultati sono garantiti... come al solito ci si deve impegnare!
Lo schema e' semplice e, per chi ha sempre frequentato palestre, se ci si toglie di dosso i pregiudizi si rimarra' stupiti!

This book could have been 50 pages shorter if they had just got right to the point of the advantages of this work-out mindset. A lot of time was spent needlessly using examples where one or two would have had the same effect. I have some doubts that 30+ minutes a week will be sufficient to get in better shape, but I am willing to give this a try.

I've never agreed the 3 sets of 10 body building dogma. I've tried the high weight, low rep regemin, but this book takes it to the next level. It's like tai chi for weightlifting. I look forward to the workouts

My new exercise plan. I'll let you know how it works.
