The illustrations in this book are great. The only problem is the number of exercises included was limited. I expected to see a number more of actual exercises. It’s great for seeing exactly which muscle or muscle is group being worked, just needs more.

I am just a regular person who likes to work out, and I found this book to be very clearly written and understandable as well as being insightful and helpful to me as I go about my exercise routine which includes aerobic, stretch, stability and weight exercises.
I am learning how particular excercises can benefit different areas of my body and muscles and also understanding and seeing how the positions and movement impact my muscles. It has already been helpful in curing some muscle pain I’ve had. Excellent book for the lay person!

If you’re looking for a ‘Dummies’-type volume that will show you an introductory workout (and there’s nothing wrong with that), then this is not the book for you. What Pat Manocchia has assembled here is the ‘Larousse Gastronomique’ of fitness, strength training in particular. Every major exercise (squats, biceps curls) is examined in depth, and broken down both by the steps involved and by the muscles affected. You’ll soon find yourself dipping in mid-workout to check your technique or find out if your strength routine has any holes. A classic.

This is a great book for people from beginner to advanced in working out! It will show which prime muscles are being used as well as the synergyst muscles. It also demonstrates ways to make the move harder or easier depending on what level you are at and so that you do not injure yourself. The pictures are great and very helpful. This is a very good book!

I purchased this book several weeks ago and have reviewed its contents. I wish I had known before what exercises benefit which muscles. It’s good to have this information. I think it’s a good reference book.
