Summary: A Mommy's Dream Come True
Review: At age 37, a wife, a mother of three young boys, and working a part time job, who thought there would ever be the time to exercise and get back the shape I have longed for. Shopping my husband and I came across The Firefighter's Workout Book. Delighted by the cover and the few pages we actually read while we were in the store, we decided to give it a try. It has been close to three months now that we have been doing this workout, and we find it to fit right into our very busy schedules. Not only have both my husband and I lost weight, we have gained muscle, energy, and the knowledge on how to stay lean and fit for the rest of our lives. We always thought we needed to go to the gym and workout for a couple of hours a day to see results, but this we have come to realize with the help of The Firefighter's Workout Book, is not so. We workout at home with the basic equipment that we had down our basement, for short periods of time, without having to get a babysitter, and have seen remarkable results. My husband says my body looks even better then before I had my boys, and he too looks great! Our friends can't get over it, and some are now reading the book. If we could do it, anyone can. Buy this book!!

Summary: Add to Your Library
Review: I would recommend adding this book to your fitness library because some of the information is very good. The exercise routines are easy to understand and follow with good illustrations and overall the book is informative, well written and organized. I have been trying to "super-slow" weight lifting, and love the change.My only quarrel is with the nutritional information, but unfortunately, you run into that with almost every book written by fitness experts. Seems like you can have fitness (exercise) facts and nutritional (facts), but not both. His nutritional information is very outdated. I would recommend "Turn Off the Fat Genes" for nutritional advice instead.

Summary: Bravo
Review: I've been working out all my life, but was happy to cut back on my program and reap the rewards. The 30 minute full body routine is the ultimate fast, efficient and effective training system. And all this with no travel time to and from the gym. Stefano's colorful accounts of his experiences with the Fire Department added flavor and life to the book, making it a true pleasure to read. I especially loved the pre-workout meditation, and goals setting chapter. Great book overall.

Summary: A literary masterpiece in fitness
Review: The Firefighter's Workout Book has changed my life. I'd always dabbled in exercise and fitness, but could never organize all the information I'd accumulated over the years. In other words, whenever I entered a gym, or embarked upon a training program, I felt confused and overwhelmed. Now I workout with confidence that comes with knowledge, and in just 30 minutes a day, three or four days a week, I've managed to change my body, my energy levels, and my entire life. I'm leaner, stronger and healthier. Thank you Michael Stefano!
