review 1: Awesome book. I struggled for years to find a book that explained how to do exercises in a way I understood and also described how to tell when I was doing them wrong. This book has just enough detail to help me. In addition to this, I love the concise descriptions of nutrition, the importance of weight lifting, and also muscle structure. None of these short sections required a medicinal background, a need to memorize acronyms, or an A&P to comprehend the material, but they weren't basic either. In addition to this, the workouts incorporate a medicinal ball which thrilled me. I knew there was more I could be doing with that thing, but needed some guidance.
review 2: This book has been a great resource for my workouts. I was feeling like I needed some new ideas... more to refresh my routines. This book has many, many new exercises and so many variations. I am actually excited about working out now. Every exercise had big, full color photos and detailed notes and tips. All the variations also have photos and notes. Each chapter focuses on different muscle groups so you can pick and choose exercises for your workout. But you don't have to put a workout together on your own. There are many different complete workouts already included in the book. I have been working out for a while and I have a lot of equipment at home. Newbies to fitness training will find several body weight workouts, but most exercises require some form of equipment such as dumbells, a barbell, stability ball, step up box, or cables. Most exercises or variations can be done with a set of dumbbells. Complete workouts are usually set up as a circuit or supersets, which I like because they go quickly and give you a bit of a cardio workout as well.A sample diet and diet program are included, but I pretty much already eat that way anyway. Cut out added sugar, lots of protein, fresh fruits and veggies, less starchy foods. Read it for the exercises, not the diet plan. I think this is my longest review ever. less
