"Carl Miller's book, The Miller Fitness Plan, hits the proverbial nail right on the head. As a physician for 48 years, I have seen first-hand not only in my own life and my body, but also in my patients, the outstanding benefits of a consistent exercise program. Exercise, properly and consistently done, is far and away the best thing one can do for good health and outstanding quality of life. I agree with Carl's program of athletic weight training which emphasizes Olympic lifting. This type of training is especially good for the large core muscles of the body, so important in keeping a high metabolic rate and making our daily tasks and athletic endeavors easier and more efficient. George Sheehan, M.D., a cardiologist and fitness advocate, wanted all of his patients to become good animals and good athletes. All of us have that capability. Follow and learn Carl's program and you will be stronger as you age, not the reverse. Carl's students range in age from 8 to 91 years. This physical training plan helps you increase your strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination and power. This all sounds like that four letter word 'work,' but don't let it fool you! Carl has made it fun. You will be motivated to continue when you see and feel the benefits. Carl is the ideal teacher of Olympic athletic training. There are very few who have the qualifications or have done more personal research into what works. He definitely 'walks the talk.'" -- Arlo L. Jensen, M.D., fitness expert, former staff member Mayo and Cooper Clinics, Dallas

"In any sport, the athlete with the most strength is going to have an advantage. In those sports in which endurance and power play a large role, it is certainly true, because strength is a very important basis for endurance and power. This book has been written to describe how to help a specific sport with a specific need; how one can use weight training for sports which require endurance and for the sports that require power."
