Spelling Workout: Level C
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-23 Summary: Good but kids go through it QUICKLY! ... I like the Spelling Workout series, but I found that both my first and second graders went through it in a couple of months. So, it gets costly to maintain a spelling curriculum throughout the year. Not too sure how effective these workbooks are... ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-10 Summary: Phonics vs spelling ... 4 1/2 stars! We homeschool and call this phonics, the best way to learn how to spell. Here's a layout of a typical lesson. 1st page, short interesting article, poetry, story (stress interesting for kids) using the many of the words, great of word definitions within context. Pre-test time (teacher's edition has sentences listed). 2nd page lists words (print and cursive), a "pep talk" discussing the phonics rules (love it!), assignment to group words according to the rules. 3rd page 2-3 assignments, usually one good ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-05 Summary: Wonderful spelling workbook ... This is the best spelling workbook I have found for my 2nd grader, who is homeschooled. This series of workbooks ties spelling to phonics rules and has activities (like crossword puzzles) that my daughter loves. There is a dictionary in the back of each workbook that includes all of the spelling words. I have tried 3 other spelling workbooks and this is by far the best for us. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-03 Summary: spelling workout c ... This workbook is just as good as the others in the series. I am happy with the series and think the suggestions for spelling word memorization at the begining of the book are very useful. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-24 Summary: maybe too good! ... This little water-proof book is fantastic. I keep it right at the gym and simply pick one of the many workouts (endurance, speed, form, force, etc...)and then hit the water. Each workout has a long and a short version so you can select based on how you are feeling that day or the event you are training for. One problem, running and biking have taken back seats to swimming! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-11 Summary: Great workouts! ... Waterproof easy to use. Meant for serious swimming distances. Lots of codes to refer to-but does come in handy by the wet pool! ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-09 Summary: Good book for Triathletes who need direction in the pool ... I bought this book after I mistakenly bought the newer, updated version that had workouts more geared for swimmers (different strokes, really high volume, etc). I am very pleased with the book, it offers direction and a plan for those who previously just jump in, swim 1500 and leave. The book has different types of workouts (endurance, speed, strength, etc)and has 2 versions per workout (one usually 500M less than the other). Each workout is 2000M-3500M, so it can be done in a reasonable amount of time. Waterproof ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-20 Summary: Great book, a bit tough for a beginner though ... This a great book with a well organized, clear and simple format. The waterproof pages are great and I have got this book completed soaked on the pool deck and it has no probs. Each of the workouts has a long and a short version depending on your swimming ability, however I found that when I first got this book my ability was not even up to the shorter workouts. Overall a great product esp. if you can't be part of a Master's swim team. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-31 Summary: Seems to work! ... I bought this for my brother. He has been using the book for almost 3 weeks now. He is so happy and excited with this book and the guidance it provides. I can hear his confidence coming back from the way he sounds when we talk on the phone. I bought this so he would not have any excuses to exercise during the week. Seems to be working! Okay, I hadn't seen my brother since he began using this book until a week ago. I am so proud of him. He lost 10 lbs and dropped from a 4x to a 2x. He gives this book all of the credit! ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-15 Summary: Great begginers workout book ... When i received this book i was relatively new to working out. I appreciated that the book relied on calisthenics. In order to build a good foundation to working out one must be versed in how the body moves and why. The exercises listed in the book allowed me to become more familiar with my bodies movements while gaining strength and muscle. I would definitely recommend this book for a beginner who wants an alternative to a weighted workout. Since reading this book and following its instructions i have moved on to ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-15 Summary: Dam I am out of shape ...

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-09 Summary: Cultivate New Habits ... I really enjoyed this book. I just completed the 28 day workout. If you have been living a completely sedentary lifestyle, you owe it to yourself to get this book - and do what it says. The photography is excellent and if you just follow along, you will be surprised at the changes you can make in just 28 days. I am not saying that you will be a black belt or anything close to it, but you will be on your way to a new lifestyle. This book SLOWLY lifts you up from the couch and enables you to create new habits for yourself ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-09 Summary: Excellent Conditioning Routine ... I got this book at a library a year or two ago, and have been doing these exercises since then. They're great. As the author warns you, these are conditioning exercises, not actual strikes, and they don't prepare you for combat. Although I'm not sure I agree with the author's assertion that kung fu "isn't about beating people up", these exercises are an excellent addition to a martial artist's (or anyone's) repertoire, working on many levels simultaneously--cardio, speed, balance, flexibility, coordination, etc. This ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-20 Summary: INCREDIBLE!!!! ... One of my heroes has written a book - AND IT ROCKS! I have never read a more helpful martial arts book. Beautiful! ...more
