Great workout variety for all levels of fitness!5
This book is very detailed with colored pictures, perfect for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Many different workout routines for at home or gym. Also includes info on pilates, yoga, cardio, stretching, workout myths, proper form, the human body, and recipes. You will never get bored with this book, plenty of variety and inspiration!

Great descriptive pictures4
Great book. Descriptive color pictures on how to perform the exercises is very helpful. This book walks you through each body part. You can work through a program of one particular part or a whole body work out program. One downfall, the whole body work out is meant to be preformed in a gym; wish this wasn't so. The other programs show you exercises for home and gym.

Fab Fitness Intro4
I just wanted a book that would help me get started. I'm a smart girl with a little gym experience who just wants to be healthy, I didn't want a book that talked to me like I was dumb, a fitness addict, or someone who'd never sweat a drop in their life. Thankfully, this book was that. Honest information, non-stigmatic, and encouraging with lots of pictures and great workout ideas. Love the personal testimonials, love the yoga section, and love the perfect amount of exercises offered to the reader. Minus one point for too many "don't I look awesome coming out of the pool?" pictures and not enough information on fitness routines you can do at home or how to adapt your routine to a non-fitness oriented environment. Maybe next edition?
