Great basics for a Beginner
16 May 2010
Format:Paperback
Fundamental Weight Training is a wonderful book for those new or inexperienced with resistance training and who are looking for an introductory and basics book not filled with pictures of over-muscled gym monsters or picture-perfect models. With 102 exercises, each with photos and detailed explanations, this book demystifies any misconceptions the reader may have about lifting a little iron.
The first few chapters introduce some of the basics of weight training, including the types of resistance training, gym protocol, language, and beginning stretches. The bulk of the book then devotes a chapter to each of the general body parts, i.e., chest, back, legs, glutes, etc. etc. Finally, to round things out, the book offers up sample programs and routines and also encourages the student to develop their own program based on their personal fitness goals.
Overall, this book does a great job of removing any stigma or intimidation associated with weight training, debunks many of the misconceptions, and presents each point in a clear, easy to understand format that will serve as a perfect tool to assist the reader to better health and physical appearance.

Great fitness book
25 May 2010
Format:Paperback
Week 1: I'm sore.
Each of the chapters on specific muscle groups offers a variety of exercises, some on machines and some with free weights. Each also offers advice on how to use the exercises at the gym and at home. There's sufficient variety and suggestions for variations to cover a wide range of workout needs.
Exercises are illustrated with clear photographs and fully explained. I feel comfortable performing them. I really like the models of both genders and varied ethics backgrounds. And I like that the author doesn't talk down to me--an average fitness seeker. This is not a book just for serious lifters.
Week 2: Still sore, but not as much.
It's a lot more than a collection of exercises. Fundamental Weight Training showed me how to put together a more challenging workout for myself. There's a helpful exerciser-finder chart. And it's concisely and clearly written.
Week 3: I expect I'll be a little sore. But looking forward to the benefits of this first workout I've programmed for myself from Fundamental Weight Training. And to the future workouts I will be able to develop from the material in this book.
