 Rating:  - Excellent and practicalI saw my personal trainer use this book as a reference and decided to buy it. It is a very complete, smart and thorough guide.

The book has good pictures, which illustrate the exercises well. However, it is very unorganized, with chapters that don't go in any particular order. Additionally, the routines that are recommended are very poorly worded, and don't give specifics about time to hold a position, or how many reps/sets to do. All in all, I was very disappointed with this book. To add insult to injury, the binding fell apart, and the pages are now everywhere. |
