Seems like they'd be a nice complement to a routine, especially in terms of injury prevention and recovery. He runs a program at an Australian university and his philosophy seems to be an evolving one, where they take stretching exercises from any discipline out there regardless of tradition. Then instructors first test techniques on themselves and eventually on patients. The books just really project credibility and sensibility, which is always a good sign I say.. Also, while bored one day I was looking through the Search Inside This Book feature of Amazon and read the first 30 pages or so of Lori Incledon's Strength Training for Women. It won't let me look further, so I can't comment on the actual exercise instruction, but it seems promising. Lots of science brought up and things like bone health, metabolism, intervals, circuits, etc were brought up. One thing that works pretty well for the Search Inside is once the Next arrows stop, to search for the page number two pages ahead. Then you can backtrack one and then continue forward. That usually lets you read a fair amount of a given book chronologically. Merry Christmas! Thanks for the list. :)

I enjoy anything from the following authors: Charles Poliquin Pavel Tsatsouline Vince Gironda Not only do these guys know their stuff, but they have a bad attitude to match. Makes for good reading.
