Great for my once-a-week, at-home work out!

I've been walking 45 minutes a day, every day, for some time to lose weight. After reading in so many places about the benefits of strength training, and not knowing where or how to start, I stumbled upon this book. After perusing the entire book, I was a bit overwhelmed at the choices...

Then I got organized...

I started with the full page spread of the human body that lists exercises by body part and gives the page number on which the exercise is found. (I think it is pages 14 and 15 - but I don't have the book with me right now...you'll be able to find it) In the upper right hand corner of the right hand page in a text box is a listing of in what order you should perform the exercises (i.e. Large muscle groups to smaller muscle groups) I highlighted each muscle group a different color, then found on the body display each exercise that I could do in that group and highlighted it the matching color.... For example, I highlighted Leg/Thigh green in the list of muscle group order, then I highlighted all leg/thigh exercises listed by the body that I could do green and so on for each muscle group, changing colors for each group. (When I say I highlighted the ones I could do, I mean that the book incorporates different equipment such as weights, bands, balls, and gym machines - I don't have any gym machines or bands at home, so I didn't highlight those particular exercises - so, if I add equipment, I can go back and highlight more exercises.)

Anyway, this has proved a great way for me to organize and expedite my workout. My workout goes like this: I walk around the house for 5 minutes to warm up, then get out my weights and this book and can quickly move from one exercise to the next, thanks to the highlighting, then I cool down by walking 3 minutes, then stretch.

I'm just beginning to realize the benefits of strength training so I can't rave about what this book as done for me...yet. If you are just starting out, or looking expedite and organize your workout, I recommend this book.

Outstanding

This is one of the best books I have ever seen on training. The pictures are excellent. They really show you how to do the exercise. You can train at home or at the gym with them.

Great Moves

Both beginners and veteran weight trainers can benefit from the exercises in this book. You'll also find out why certain exercises target certain muscle groups.

Great Book!

This book is extremely helpful! It helps you through the gym and home workouts (with or without free weights). Its great for when you're traveling as well and don't have access to the gym. The pictures make it extremely clear how the exercises are supposed to be done. Simple, easy, and effective. Exactly what I was looking for! Definitely worth your $10.
