Phil Maffetone Big Book of Health and Fitness

Posted on December 19, 2011December 19, 2011

Dr. Phil Maffetone next block-buster hit. If you have done any heart rate monitor training, you would have read his other book, The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing. And you’ll love this one. I can’t wait to read the whole book in the next few weeks!
