 Amazing book October 31, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an amazing book. I wanted to buy a book on weight training and I am not disappointed. Like the previous reviews said, the book contains lots of photos with dos and don't dos. It clearly shows which target muscles you are working when working with dumbells.
I only wish that there was more classification for each muscle group (like chest, upper arm, abs) instead of Upper Body and Lower body.
I would strongly recommend this book for those that don't have the time to go the gym and want to train at home.
 Great! October 25, 2007
The pictures are wonderful. I found the pictures that illustrate the "wrong" postures while training to be especially helpful, as well as all the step by step instructions and tips. Being new to weight traning, I really found this book to be useful.
Great book - approved by my physical therapist August 5, 2007
I had a shoulder injury and toward the end of physical therapy, we moved to strengthening exercises/weight lifting. I am a person that likes pictures (as opposed to words) and this book provides good pictures of how each exercise should be done. It also shows you how NOT to do them. It shows what muscles are affected by each exercise, plus a section on stretching. My PT was very impressed by it and started thumbing through it and said he was going to buy it to show patients in the future.
Great Starter book! July 2, 2007

I picked this book randomly and it turned out to be a great book to start out with. I tried going to the gym before I got this book and the weights scared me. The next day I bought the book and took 2-3 days to read through the entire thing and everything made sense. I also saw the correct way to do each routine. One of the best things it did was lay out all the different types of routines you can do, whether it be full body, or focusing on one or two muscles per workout. I highly recommend this book!

I bought this book when I decided to start weight training. I had never done any weight training before so I needed a book that covered the basics. Maran Illustrated has proven a great choice.
The range of exercises is from easy to advanced so that you do not need to buy another book after you have learned the basics and are ready for something more challenging.
The photographs and explanations of each exercise are very clear and easy to follow. As the previous reveiwer has mentioned, there are also photographs of what NOT to do, which is important for everybody and for beginners - essential.
The book is suitable for those who go to a gym and for those who prefer to exercise at home. It also explains the advantages of both, home and gym.
It offers a range of exercises one can do while travelling.
I recommend this book to anybody who would like to start weight training; the book will also be useful for those who know the basics already.
