Praise for Mackie Shilstone and Lean & Hard"I have seen firsthand the remarkable results Mackie Shilstone has achieved with top athletes. His track record and comprehensive knowledge of exercise physiology and nutrition give him tremendous credibility."
--Bob Costas, NBC Sports and HBO Sports"Mackie Shilstone is equally fluent in academic research and resonant common sense. In his work with boxers Michael Spinks and Bernard Hopkins, Mackie managed significant improvement in two athletically finished products. Imagine what he can do for the average man or woman."
--Jim Lampley, HBO Sports and NBC SportsCan you imagine how dangerous I would have been had I met Mackie five years ago?"
--Bernard Hopkins, former World Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion"I've got to be honest, when I looked at the tapes, I said, 'How am I going to do this? Then I met Mackie Shilstone. . . . He motivated me to train at another level. "
--Roy Jones Jr., former Light Heavyweight Champion, on his WBA Heavyweight Championship victory over John Ruiz"Mackie's program helped me prolong my baseball career and enhanced the quality of my life. In fact, it helped me reach the Baseball Hall of Fame."
--Ozzie Smith, All-Star shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals and Baseball Hall of Famer"Mackie's new workout is awesome for women. It is fun, effective, and when performed on a regular basis, results are seen within a couple of weeks. His workout tackles women's problem areas thighs, buttocks, abdominals, and triceps. And it is excellent for strengthening neglected back muscles. Mackie's program also provides nutritional guidance designed to meet women's needs."
--Leslie Hoffman, host and producer of Get Fit with Leslie
