I like LeAnne Case's basic protocols. They're easy to follow, yet lead to a vigorous exercise that meets requirements for aerobic exercise as laid out by the ACSM. I especially liked her use of training logs on a calendar basis.

LeAnne has written with creativity and new enthusiasm a complete wate workout. This all inclusive program is very beneficial whether one is a beginner or a cross trainer.
