Product Description
Total Heart Rate Training shows anyone participating in aerobic sports, from novice to expert, how to increase the effectiveness of his or her workout. It's like having a personal trainer guide the reader step-by-step during exercise. By following the author's carefully constructed program and utilizing a heart rate monitor, readers can coach themselves — knowing when to push harder and when to back off. This guide teaches readers how to use the latest tools, including training analysis software and new high-tech intensity measuring devices, for precise training that practically guarantees success while minimizing the chance of injury. The author also makes it easy to use new gizmos such as power meters and GPS units that allow readers to compare the body's input, as measured by heart rate, with output. Section for novices show how to use a heart rate monitor for the first time while chapters aimed at experienced athletes describe how to gain that extra competitive edge thanks to heart rate training.

Total heart rate training September 2, 2008
This book was o.k. in the sense that it did explain certain useful aspects of training with a monitor that you would not recieve elsewhere. I felt that book had a lot of fillers that were hard to understand and did not really apply to the layperson looking for basic information on how to get the most out of your monitor.
I have used a heart monitor in some form for the last 15 years, and I have been looking for a book that would be a one stop manuel. I would recommend this book to the athlete that is detail oriented, but would not give this book to first time users of heart monitors;there are better ones out there for that purpose. All in all, you will find this book useful for some aspects of your training.

The author clearly has a wealth of knowledge and practical experience with heart rate monitors and heart rate monitor training. If you're looking for a "beginner's guide to using a heart rate monitor" this might be a little too complex for you.
However, if you are a serious athlete whose sport requires caridovascular strength and endurance, then this book is a great fit for you.
 Very informative - almost too much April 19, 2008

As with other Friel books I've read, there is an abundance of outstanding, detailed and reasoned information in this book. Probably more detail than any non-professional athlete needs, but it is an outstanding resource. I think it is well worth the money for someone who wants to understand the physiology and theory regarding workouts in order to maximize his/her fitness.

A very confusing book geared for the advanced athlete or olympic hopeful.
Of little use for the average fitness enthusiast.
I learned nothing from this scattered manual.
I'll continue to research elsewhere.

It's an excellent acquisition for people who like measuring their fitness. Sometimes the book seems to be a little complicated but you can after a second lecture you will find that is no so complicated
