Book Reviews of Anatomy of Exercise: A Trainer's Inside Guide to Your Workout

Book Review: Extremely Insightful and Helpful
Summary: 5 Stars

I am just a regular person who likes to work out, and I found this book to be very clearly written and understandable as well as being insightful and helpful to me as I go about my exercise routine which includes aerobic, stretch, stability and weight exercises.

I am learning how particular excercises can benefit different areas of my body and muscles and also understanding and seeing how the positions and movement impact my muscles. It has already been helpful in curing some muscle pain I've had. Excellent book for the lay person!
