How to use and benefit from barbell and dumbbell training
British certified fitness coach and author James Atkinson has published ten valuable books on his advice for encouraging good health – FITNESS & EXERCISE MOTIVATION, FITNESS FOR WOMEN OF ANY AGE, JIM’S WEIGHT TRAINING GUIDE. JIM’S WEIGHT TRAINING & BODY BUILDING WORKOUT PLAN, MARATHON TRAINING, TOTAL FITNESS FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS, HEALTH AND FITNESS TIPS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE, HOME WORKOUT FOR BEGINNERS, HOME WORKOUT CIRCUIT TRAINING, RESISTANCE BAND TRAINING, BODYWEIGHT TRAINING AND CALISTHENICS, and now BAR & DUMBBELL TRAINING. He covers all the bases with actionable results!
In his much admired and always consistently professional coaching technique, James explains why barbells and dumbbells are viable ways to improve body health and integrity, some of the benefits being increased strength and mobility, correction of poor posture, developing balance and dexterity, increasing muscle mass, changing the body to less fat and more lean muscle, protecting joints, and increasing self-confidence. Each of those benefits is addressed in this book as James shows how to train correctly with the weights addressed and then how to create and plan a training routine using barbells and dumbbells, incorporating safety issues to avoid injury and maximize results.
With excellent graphics that supplement his illustrations and teaching (and a fine section on a health check before starting), James takes us through the benefits of weight training, muscle group by muscle group. His instruction is thorough, easy to follow, and offered in a manner that makes his advice excellent.
All of James’ books provide supportive encouragement to the reader for achieving and maintaining fitness, delivered in a user-friendly manner. This is one of the finest books for realistic, informed and results-producing fitness books this reader has encountered! Very highly recommended.
