Book Reviews of The Great Stretch Tubing Handbook
Book Review: Perfect for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
One reviewer said this book is lacking depth and thus is for beginners. Perhaps that's true but I'm a beginner. Regardless of whether or not the book is for beginners it has many attributes:
It is:
Very well organized: It starts by explaining the pros and cons of Resistance Tubes and the difference between resistance tubes and resistance bands.
It stresses and outlines very clearly with easy to understand language and excellent color photos on high quality paper:
1. Warm up
2. Using Proper Posture
3. Using Proper Form
4. Breathing properly
5. When and why to stop training (e.g. pain)
6. How frequently you should train,
7. What the expected time duration for a training session is
8. Understanding the goal of fatiguing a specific muscle group
9. Range of Motion
10. Speed of your movment
11. the importance of proper form
12. When and why the routine should be changed, and;
13 Rest intervals between one exercise and the next
Every exercise is beautifully illustrated and explains what muscles are being worked.
The book is small in terms of number of pages and size but the paper quality is excellent. In my mind, that the book is small is a bonus because it's easy to through into your bag of tubes and take with you wherever you go.
I needed a book for Beginners. This book fits the bill and I suspect it will be of value to me for at least a year and perhaps longer. Maybe then I'll want or need something more in depth but maybe not. There's a lot of Web sites where people can get tubing exercise routines. I would think that once you've mastered the basics, provided in this book, you may never need to buy another book because you'll have a good solid understanding of what's important, namely, warming up and all the other aforementioned twelve items.
Now, you just have to get into the routine of doing the workouts. If you do them diligently, I believe good results will be had.
