Media Reviews
Wayne has written a terrific book. He explains in layman's language how and why to exercise with weights, yet he still gives cardiovascular exercise its due. The new free weight exercises make this second edition a more complete training guide and a welcome addition to any enthusiastic exerciser's library.

From Road Race Management Newsletter
The programs are uncomplicated, and the instructions for the multitude of Nautilus and free weight exercises are succinct. Explanatory text is remarkably thorough, but concise enough that it won't cut into valuable running time.
