Customer reviews for 'Tri Power: The Ultimate Strength Training, Core Conditioning, Endurance, and Flexibility Program for Triathlon Success'
«Bridge to understanding»
This book is a terrific overall fitness reference. If more people trained and stretched to improve total body function using this book, we would see a rapid decline in chronic pain and disease.

«Must have»
So I'm 37 now and competed in triathlons for 12 years before taking a few years off due to 3 small children (well, my wife actually had them...). I started using this book because i had gained some weight and I was worried about injury. Not only did this book help me get mileage back up injury free - but I'm going faster than I ever have before. MOST IMPORTANTLY: If you follow the book, it doesn't take a ton of time. As someone who is time constrained - I can do this program in the evenings at home. 2x/week it takes 20 min. 3x/week it takes 5-10 min. For the past 12 weeks I was running only (no swimming except occassional cross train). I finished my half marathon and am now going into core tri-training. I got back in the pool this week and WAS FASTER than when I was swimming 3x/week - I believe because of the strength/core training. MUST HAVE!!

«A Balanced Plan»
TriPower is a fantastic plan for both men and women to achieve balance, build core strength and stay injury free during tri training. Power in all 3 sports comes from proper form and technique, and the program outlined here supports and balances out all 3 sports. Balanced strength training is the key to not getting injured, and this book more than any other i found achieves the best balance you can get.
