Editorial Reviews: There's a lot of mythology surrounding swimming and water exercises: that water work is only for senior citizens, arthritis sufferers and rehabbing professional athletes; that it's not an efficient way to build cardiovascular endurance or burn fat; that it's inferior to land-based exercise programs like running and weight training. Water Workouts not only attacks those myths, it shows how to use a swimming pool and a few pieces of equipment to improve everything: strength, endurance, flexibility, muscularity. If you don't mind getting wet, this is one of the best workout manuals you'll find.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The first book on water exercise that truly makes sense. Comment: A well-written first person summary from two authors who are authorities in water exercise, one a swimming coach and triathlete, the other a Harvard sports medicine surgeon. A concise description of what is medically and scientifically sound for water exercise, yet dispersed with real-life exercises and experiences. There are many mentions of their experiences in the water with famous athletes and details of what works for them. There is a very informative guide at the end which explains their philosophy on nutrition, aerobic exercise and flexibility. It is an inspirational reading on a topic which needs more authority. I want to read the next book they write together! It is easy and informative reading, and a must for both the serious athlete and the athlete looking for a tough workout in a forgiving environment.
