Good informative, detailed book.

A well put together book. His writing style is open and engaging. The section on breathing and blood pressure makes a huge difference to the value of isometrics. The exercises are clearly detailed and simple to follow. I have followed the routine and was impressed with the change in my muscle definition within a fortnight. The power breathing has reduced my waist by an inch. If you're interested in isometrics I highly recommend this book.


Another Excellent book from John

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.

Excellent Book!

An excellent book,full of practical advice and backed up with science.
Can be used on its own,or better still...as an adjunct to a twice weekly weight-training routine to further improve results.
Not the answer to ALL fitness programmes...isometrics are of value mainly to weight-lifters and body-builders,rather than runners,cyclists or more "aerobic" - centred athletes.
But if you ARE a strength athlete...then this is the book for you!

Great book

I usually don't do reviews, but in this case I felt it was necessary. What this book really covers is isometrics but in great detail, there is a workout for every body part. John Peterson does a great job in showing us what isometrics can do for us, not only in regard to health, but for strength as well. If you have been lifting weights as I had , these concepts may seem alien but once you start to apply them on daily basis you will see how effective these techniques can be.
