About this product

Product Information

Are you one of the millions of people out there who feel like they've read everything there is to read on fitness and have spent an enormous amount of time and money trying to get fit--and still failed? Until you know how your body really works and reacts to physical activity, you may never succeed. Eric Heiden, M.D., and Massimo Testa, M.D., two preeminent sports physicians who know the training needs of beginners as intimately as those of elite athletes, want to fix this problem. They know there has been an entire field of training science and medicine that has never been translated for the general public--until now. In a program that is designed for everyday people, Heiden and Testa bring us Faster, Better, Stronger, a customized, science-based program designed to guide you into a lifelong fitness habit, giving you step-by-step instructions on how to make the most of your body through exercise--physically, mentally, biomechanically, and nutritionally. In Part I, the doctors detail the solid science behind your body's responses to exercise. They share the same philosophy and medical expertise they have shared with world-class athletes and give scientific "secrets" in several areas of fitness: the prescriptive aspects of exercise; the biology of movement; the importance of fueling your body with the right food and water; what rest really accomplishes; and motivation. They also debug and clarify some all-too-often misunderstood medical and biological truths about training, and offer you ways to find your hidden talents and strengths. These doctors know that the luxuries of time and access are significant factors in getting fit, and thus Part II helps you design your own unique, individualized exercise program no matter your age, ability, experience, or schedule. Once you have assessed your current fitness level, the doctors guide you through assembling blocks of activities into a twelve-week program that will get you started on the road to lifelong health.

Praise from some experts
“Two tested experts share the medically sound secrets of world class athletes so we can all benefit.” –Dr. Mehmet Oz, bestselling author of the “You” series “Wow—what a perfect combination: Eric and Max! A book on general fitness by this incredible team could change a person’s life.” —Jim Ochowicz Founder, general manager and coach of 7-Eleven Cycling Team from 1981 through 1990 “I was a guy who could compete at the state level--until I started working with Max. In a little over a year, I was national champion, and placed in the top ten in the world two years in a row.” --Warren Geissart, 49 Weekend Cycling Racer National Sprint Champion “Max and Eric are both remarkable resources for the sport science and medical communities and two of the most down-to-earth people I have ever met. When it comes to actually practicing the art of applying science and medicine to human activity, they are an unbeatable combination.” —Steve Johnson President, USA Cycling “When I have a training question, Eric is the first person I go to after my coach. I always know Eric is going to give me a different perspective. What Eric accomplished is probably the most amazing feat in Olympic history. We look up to him like he’s a god.” --Chad Hedrick Olympic Speed Skater "The abilities of Eric Heiden and Max Testa combine to create a synergy of world class forces. Dr. Testa is a walking encyclopedia on physiological theory and Dr. Heiden is a living inspiration on effectively applying those theories. They have helped my athletes to achieve Olympic medals and world records but even more than that, they have helped my athletes to go beyond what we thought possible." -- Tom Cushman U.S. Speedskating Coach “I thought I was at the top of my abilities. I was eight and ninth in the Tour de France, and I was wondering if that was as good as I could get. I started working with Max, and I've improved like I never thought I would. I'm at a different level now.” —Levi Leipheimer 3rd place, 2007 Tour de France Deseret Morning News, Oct. 4, 2007 “In the fall of 1990, legendary cyclist, Miguel Indurain, the six-foot-two-inch Spanish rider weighed a muscular 184 pounds—too heavy to stay competitive in the mountain stages of the Tour de France. But that winter, a consultant to Indurain's team, Max Testa, figured out the optimal ratio of power to body weight for cyclists, based on his studies of past Tour winners. To reach it, Indurain had to shed only 12 pounds. Which he did. The next year he won his first of five consecutive Tours [de France].” Outside Magazine, Feb. 2005 "Max Testa is phenomenal -- I've never known anyone who is as good at taking text-book theory and breaking it down into usable pieces which you can easily and effectively fit into a real training program." --Tom Cushman U.S. Speedskating CoachRead full review
