Reader Reviews
I'll admit, when I first picked up this book, I was a little skeptical of John Little's workout suggestions. How is it possible to work out for MINUTES a week and achieve any kind of results? Turns out, John Little knows his stuff. By pushing your body to the max (which means doing extremely heavy loads of weight for a very short amount of time), you're asking the most of your muscles. Which means they continue to grow and develop. Other exercise programs would have you do 15 or thirty reps at a low weight, which does nothing to encourage actual muscle growth. In this book, John teaches you how to make the most of your exercise time, and destroys some of the myths about which muscles you need to keep in shape in order to maximize your golf game (it's all of them, folks, not just the arms and shoulders). Don't be fooled by the title, though. Even if you're not a golfer, just a busy person who'd like to get in shape but doesn't have time to spend 2 hours a night in the gym, this book is a perfect starting point.
