Great book 
2008-10-05
I usually don't do reviews, but in this case I felt it was necessary. What this book really covers is isometrics but in great detail, there is a workout for every body part. John Peterson does a great job in showing us what isometrics can do for us, not only in regard to health, but for strength as well. If you have been lifting weights as I had , these concepts may seem alien but once you start to apply them on daily basis you will see how effective these techniques can be.
Another Excellent book from John 2008-09-19
I own pushing yourself to power which I really enjoyed. However, I prefer the isometric exercises contained in this book. This book has great historical background information about Isometrics. A lot of the early pioneers.
There is plenty of exercises in this book working every bodypart.
The most useful for me is the information about breathing out while contracting the muscles. Before I was holding my breath which was building up too much pressure in the brain! Therefore making isometrics unpleasant.
John has very clear rules about breathing and they are very important.
The other important tip is about effort. 60 - 70% is all one needs and this keeps it safe as well.
The other great tip is to SLOWLY build up the pressure to 60% - then hold - then release pressure slowly. I found this as well to be very important.
I love it and it's given me a renewed interest in Yoga holding postures as well. It's packed full of information and is a dream book for anyone wishing to learn about isometrics.
Isometric Power Revolution 2008-09-14
This book was very easy to understand.If you want to get strong and look good than this book is for you.Anybody can do these exercise and they can be made harder for the more advance.Also you won't get any joint pain it will go away if you have it.
Good informative, detailed book. 2008-08-27
A well put together book. His writing style is open and engaging. The section on breathing and blood pressure makes a huge difference to the value of isometrics. The exercises are clearly detailed and simple to follow. I have followed the routine and was impressed with the change in my muscle definition within a fortnight. The power breathing has reduced my waist by an inch. If you're interested in isometrics I highly recommend this book.
Excellent Book! 2008-08-23
An excellent book,full of practical advice and backed up with science.
Can be used on its own,or better still...as an adjunct to a twice weekly weight-training routine to further improve results.
Not the answer to ALL fitness programmes...isometrics are of value mainly to weight-lifters and body-builders,rather than runners,cyclists or more "aerobic" - centred athletes.
But if you ARE a strength athlete...then this is the book for you!
Works Very well, except now I can't hug my Mom!

isometrics - reasonably taught and done 2008-04-10
John does an excellent job of explaiining how to do isometrics, and gives a good workout. I would recommend any reader to go to his forum as well http://www.transformetrics.com there is a forum there where this material is discussed, and he also has pictures of some of the exercises done
works for thr rest of us 2008-03-10
i see results with this program.i can use anywhere and since i travel alot it comes in handy.just apply yourself and you will see.
This is a complete program in one book. 2008-01-20
The section on breathing is worth the price of the book. If you don't want to purchase anymore equipment that ends up in your closet, this is the book for you.
John E. Peterson has done it again! 2008-01-03
Isometric Power Pevolution is the second book by Mr. Peterson that I have purchased. The first being Pushing Yourself to Power. PYTP far exceeded my expectations as it has become a cornerstone of my life. I use the exercises daily and feel better than I have in years. It's more than just an exercise book, it's a path.
Because of my high regard for PYTP, I had very high expectations for Isometric Power Revolution. Well, again, Mr. Peterson FAR exceeded my expectations. He does more than just show you how to do the exercises (which he does very cleary), but teaches you everything you could ever want to know about this misunderstood form of exercise. He also includes chapters on motivation (worth the price of the book alone), diet and a concise history of Isometrics that is really quite fascinating.
If you've been frustrated by the mainstream treadmill and iron types of exercise, or just want to try something that is FUN and DELIVERS RESULTS, order either of these books. Better yet, order them both. They will change your life! John Peterson is a great man, providing great information!
