Very good if you want to put your own program together. Many varieties of exercises and easy to follow instructions.

A well presented book. Love the layout and divisions in the book, easy to follow instructions come with self explanatory pictures. Having had some experience with personal training before, I picked up the book and was enthused to follow the recommended training program straight away.

[Alison]

This book wasn't as good as the other one I just reviewed, in my opinion. The exercises are fine I'm sure, I just appreciated the simpler layout and plans of the other one.

[Kiara]

Great! SImple exercises with great pictures an the workouts are well-organized. I started using them right away.

[Wendy]

Great book for someone completely new to the concept. Perfect for my mom and the separation into beginner, intermediate and advanced techniques was nicely done.

[Gretchen Kulpa]

Good Posture, Core Conditioning, and examples of excercises given to me by my physical therapist. Excercises I can do at home with my big ball and at the Rec Center.
