This is a very concise book with simple exercises - most of which you can do at home. The exercises are categorized based on muscle groups. There is a main technique with a whole bunch of optional variants (there are too many similar options though). There are descriptions of the muscles involved before each exercise routine is described with good photos.
A very useful book to have handy!

The organization of this book is wonderful. I read Mean's Health magazine and was used to the following their workout instructions. Men's Health magazine typically has the instruction next to the action. So rather that reading bullet points of what you have to do, you look at the picture and next to each shot is a sentence describing the action. I find it more helpful. All the exercise for each muscle group are broken down and after each chapter there is a section on the ultimate workout for tha...more

Easy-to-follow photos and brief descriptions. A chapter on each muscle group, plus chapters with general info on exercise and nutrition. Tips for using equipment effectively. I've been a fan of Men's Health materials for years.

I've been exercising consistently for years, and this book has provided me a lot of good routines to keep me going. We all know doing the same exercises can be boring and counter-productive. This book has everything! All types of exercises, eating and lifestyle tips too. Pictures are included to demonstrate form and routines. If you are into exercise or want to get started, this is the book to have.

Very good book to set up the correct exercise program to reach your goals.

Focused, handy size, superbly illustrated so the exercises can be understood with ease. Don't insist on following the plans slavishly but use the ideas to set up your own exercise routines.

Saying I read this is actually a bit of a misnomer since the book is 90% pictures with captions. The introductory information was extremely useful and the exercises clearly depicted. It could use a bit more annotation and explanation to help guide one's choice of exercises. I followed the advice given in the preamable to good effect. Nothing extreme, just cut carbs to 50-75 grams per day, work one muscle group per session or do whole body workouts. Advice about pacing, intervals, what weights to...more

For a couple months now, I've felt like I'm in a rut with my weight lifting routine. Injuring my foot a couple weeks ago forced me to look for new ways to work out, and kind of hit the reset button on something that had become a little too routine for me. I thought, if I just had a big book of every exercise for every body part, I could make so many different workouts that I would never get bored and at the same time would be more effective than doing the same leg workout every Friday or whateve...more
This book is very well organized into exercises by muscle group and gives you a wide variety of exercises per group. It also includes lot of information on diet and nutrition as well as various workouts that give you prescribed number of sets and reps. Some of this information I believe is pulled straight from their site and magazine pretty much word for word from previous articles, but it's all good stuff. I know I'll always have a reference to go to in case I need some new exercises or workout...more
Отличная книга, содержащая в себе практически все возможные упражнения, а также массу рекомендаций, как правильно заниматься в зависимости от желаемого результата. Также есть подготовленные планы тренировок, например 'Get ready to beach workout', 'Get back in shape workout'. Всячески советую всем, кто занимается в тренажерных залах или у себя дома.

This book is helpful for targeting individual muscles, muscle groups, whole-body exercises as well as for suggesting workouts that build muscle everywhere. Written in an easy style and complete with a lot of photos, it's accessible to nearly anyone, including someone like me who does not take easily to physical exertion.
Organized really well, decent diet tips, really awesome exercises and lots of different workout programs for different people with different fitness goals. Now if I just stick with it a little more closely maybe I can look like the dude on the front...

This book has a ton of exercises. Your workouts never have to be the same. I recommend this book. I might even by it instead of just checking it out of the library.

Some great workouts in here to keep you from plateauing!
Good reference book just for different exercises. It gives you lots of alternatives, such as what to do when the gym is too crowded or there are only free weights
Excellent resource for workouts, technique, and some decent nutritional instruction.

Asa trainer, I sometimes get stuck on the same twenty-or-so exercises, and it's nice to have a book to remind me of all of the possibilities, to better train my clients.
