| 41.Be Iron Fit: Time-efficient Training Secrets for Ultimate Fitness by: Don Fink 2004-05 |

| I've been training for triathlon for only a few months but I had so many questions that have built up during that time and this book answers nearly all of them. The best thing about it for me, as a relative newby to the sport, is that it sets things out in a straightforward manner and takes most of the guess work out of training for an Ironman or other triathlon distances. Also, there is a significant focus on making the most of the time available for someone with a full time job, family commitments ... Read More: |

| I got this as a Christmas present & as someone who's been training for half their life I was disappointed - it's just too basic.
As a reference tool for the form of different exercises it's pretty good (though I'd still go for McRobert's 'Insider's tell all handbook...') & the routines toward the back of the book may hold some useful examples. However, if you've seen 'Dinosaur Training' by Brooks Kubik or anything published by IronMind I'd give it a miss. |

| After several years of unpleasant struggle to learn to learn front crawl as an adult, this book has brought me the success that I have been looking for and much more besides.
I work as a professional in ski teaching in the mountains in France and so I am very aware of many aspects of learning and teaching physical activity. 20 years in full time teaching has demonstrated to me that about 90% taught in any subject is guaranteed to be wrong information and that if a person is struggling and suffering then the fault ...

| Look it's very simple. He overcomplicates everything to make it dramatic and "extreme". The book has some good bits in it but you are much much better off with a ray mears, mors kochanski or lofty wiseman book. Plus buying this allows the fool to continue making tv programs that put people in danger and give them an unrealistic impression of outdoor living and survival skills. |

| I had the choice between this book and the readers digest equivalent. The Book People were at work so all I got was a quick look through and decided on this one pretty much just down to the fact this book had little maps which provided an overveiw of each walk - I have to have maps wherever I go because I will get lost otherwise.
I got back to my desk, had a look at reviews on Amazon for both books and was pleased when the Readers Digest one didnt seem to do too great but this was then blown away because this book had ... Read More: |

| I know that 'Inspirational' is word which is perhaps a little overused for this book, but nevertheless it is wholly apt. Full of amazing accomplishments described in appropriate detail, the reader feels every elation and pain that Dean goes through.
The thing I most loved about this book is that its about a normal chap doing awesome things. Deans story shows that any one of us has the ability to touch the clouds as long as we have the desire and the proper work ethic. Read this book, you'll be glad you did. |

| I have just finished the 12 weeks program and I have to say it did change my life. I did not want to write a review until I finished the 12 weeks because I wanted to see for myself if this book was enough on its own to carry you through the entire 12 week program
Let me try to explain the confusion with the reviews about this book because I think I understand it now. If you are a couch potato and don't do any exercise, or if you are a reasonably active person and do a lot of cardio work(running, tennis, squash, etc) yet you are not seeing any results, ...
