Product Description

Anatomy of Exercise is revolutionary for its insights into how different muscles of the body actually work during exercise. The book is organized by body area and shows common sequences in the progression of a typical workout. Lifelike anatomical illustrations demonstrate each exercise and reveal in colorful detail exactly which muscles are engaged, which are being conditioned and how those muscles respond.

The following features help the reader gain the greatest benefit from each exercise and thereby improve fitness and well-being:

  • Detailed, full-color anatomical illustrations for all the exercises
  • Annotations identifying the active and stabilizing muscles
  • Concise how-to instructions for each exercise
  • Identification of the specific muscles that benefit the most from each exercise
  • Suggested modifications for different levels of difficulty
  • Instructions on stabilizing the body throughout each movement
  • A visual index of exercises that allows easy navigation through the book
  • A glossary of anatomical terms.
  • No other book provides such rich detail tailored to the general reader. Beginners, those already committed to exercise, competing athletes, trainers, coaches, physiotherapists, massage therapists and the many others involved in fitness will find Anatomy of Exercise fascinating, instructive and practical.

    very useful book
    I found it very useful and I am trying to use it for my training.

    Picture worth a thousand words
    Excellent illustations show neuro-muscular activation for each exercise. Stresses the importance of stabilization muscles as you are as strong as your core stabilizers. Very good hints for each exercise, things to focus on and things to avoid. I am using it daily as a personal trainer and conditioning coach

    Great Illustrations but limited number of exercises included.
    The illustrations in this book are great. The only problem is the number of exercises included was limited. I expected to see a number more of actual exercises. It's great for seeing exactly which muscle or muscle is group being worked, just needs more.

    Anatomy of Exercise: A Trainer's Inside Guide to your Workout
    I purchased this book several weeks ago and have reviewed its contents. I wish I had known before what exercises benefit which muscles. It's good to have this information. I think it's a good reference book.

    Fast service
    The book was shipped very fast, and arrived in good condition, I would recommend buying from this seller to anyone.
