Gives clear, understandable instructions and the pictures are very helpful for knowing how to position your body.

Aesthetic Style The aesthetic of the writing is minimalist and straightforward. The author avoids complex metaphors in favor of clear and direct communication. This stylistic choice makes the book accessible to a wide variety of readers. See examples of the book's unique formatting at this link. >>> https://script.google.com/macros/s/AK...

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.

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.

[Wendy · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

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.
