New Anatomy for Strength & Fitness Training: An Illustrated Guide to Your Muscles in Action Including Exercises Used in CrossFit (R), P90X (R), and Other Popular Fitness Programs (IMM Lifestyle Books)

My twelve year old great nephew is serious about eating healthy and exercising. This Christmas he asked for books on exercising and fitness. He was so happy and excited when he saw this book. He told me he was going to enjoy reading and continuing to learn with this book.

Really helps me plan my workouts and understand what I'm doing

This book is easy to read. It is well written and well organized layout. The content is relevant and provides a solid base of knowledge that can be put into practice right away. This book will help teachers cue to proper form and safety and provide some nuggets of interesting tips and facts to throw in to enhance their group classes and individual training. I love the illustrations and straight forward language and layout. This book should be on all new trainers book shelf.

I ordered the book based on a friend's advice about strength training when I began hitting plateaus. I was skeptical, but once reading the book, I quickly realized where my workouts were coming up short, and why I was hitting plateaus. If used properly, it is a powerful addition to anyone's collection to build proper workouts, understanding how and which muscles are being worked while doing specific exercises. Using the book and studying my workout, I was able to change my workout, and make it much better by exchanging exercises, and avoid over working some groups, while neglecting others.

I enjoy working out but I am essentially self taught regarding proper lifts and form and things like that. After getting more serious the last couple years I noticed I would have random aches that would put me out of the gym for awhile so I decided to get this book (along with a few others) as a way to visualize what was happening to my body as I was doing various exercises. This book is excellent for that. The pictures are highly detailed and the information is very thorough. There are several different categories and there is even a rating system for different exercises that could give newcomers an idea about how advanced a particular exercise is before trying it. And then it’s great because if something is advanced you can look at the muscles needed for that lift and then look for a more intermediate exercise to get those muscles up to par. Seriously a great resource, highly recommend.

Great information for persons who want to grow personal or as a fitness instructor

My doctor works out daily and he likes it. Says that it shows all the muscles used for each exercise. Not just the ones you’re focusing on.

I am completely amazed by this incredible book. It was exactly what i needed! As a beginner, I always been a lot confused by everthing around trainings and know I am able to understand the things that are going on on my body when I workout. It is complete, precise, organized and has this beautiful illustrations which allows us to know exactly what he means by every step of the exercise. Thank you for create this book :)

Interesting and full of good information

Very clear diagrams of the particular muscles that you might want to target. Easy to follow exercise descriptions with illustrations.

Great for those just starting out with working out it personally training. Helps give the visual as to what muscles are working during what movements in great detail
