Customer Reviews

Very helpful
This book really helps me see my body, and work the muscles I need to in the gym. The pictures are great, the instructions clear, and the exercises chosen are safe, fun and effective.

It also helped me get much more out of the services of a professional trainer. I read ahead and knew what I wanted to work on, had practiced the exercises, and knew how they felt. The trainer then could add his broad knowledge and experience to my program. I've had a lot of injuries, and so I needed to be cautious about being pushed. This book helped me have the clarity to ask for what I needed and work out in a way that is safe for me.

It's a great supplement to an Anatomy and Physiology class. Why not visualize and feel in your own body what you are learning in class?

Perfect for women who train!
As a personal trainer and athlete this book is wonderful. I can
really get the bird's eye view on a women's muscles.
