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.

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.

The Definitive Guide to Exercise by Mark C. Adams (ny, ny United States)

If you're looking for a 'Dummies'-type volume that will show you an introductory workout (and there's nothing wrong with that), then this is not the book for you. What Pat Manocchia has assembled here is the 'Larousse Gastronomique' of fitness, strength training in particular. Every major exercise (squats, biceps curls) is examined in depth, and broken down both by the steps involved and by the muscles affected. You'll soon find yourself dipping in mid-workout to check your technique or find out if your strength routine has any holes. A classic.
