Excellent follow up
25 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
The greatest thing about this sequel to Aerobics is that the running segment is broken down to the 1/10th of a mile.
Very thoughtful.

Still the Godfather of Fitness Books
10 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was written before the complete dominance of US society by the tort bar. Consequently, it contains strong recommendations as to fitness levels based on detailed, researched forms of exercise. All the major types of exercise are charted against fitness level and age.
Surprisingly, for a fitness book, it contained recommended restrictions on exercise as well. Cooper still advises on the lecture circuit that if you are running, at his chart levels, for more than 7 miles/week, that you are doing this for other than cardiovascular reasons. In other words, this is the optimum amount of exercise for relevant cardio fitness, all further exercise having marginal cardio benefit. NONE of this "go to the burn" stuff. Quite the contrary, controlled escalation of workouts.
Sadly, it wasn't long before Cooper had to back away all his quantitative recommendations -- or lose all to the shylocks and their crony judges.
Still, the best work published on exercise form, age standards.
