If you want to work out at home but aren't quite sure where to start, then this is a book that will definitely get you headed in the right direction.
Readers should also consider this book if you: 1) have exercise equipment and want to get better results, or 2) plan to buy exercise equipment for your home.
In a nutshell, the book starts out giving you basic muscle anatomy and then jumps right into pictures of dozens and dozens of exercises that can be done with all kinds of stuff in your home AS WELL AS dumbell, barbells, and other equipment you can purchase and use with in your home. The book ends nicely with miscellaneous advice on things such as the best workout videos, training logs, and advice on personal trainers.
A great book all in all, it will provide the reader with a wealth of info- and since the book is almost 2 inches thick, you can always use it to lift up and down for exercise! Also recommend "Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff" if you have a torn cuff or shoulder pain that is keeping you from working out.
