Very Useful Reference for a Personal Trainer/Exercise Physiologist September 11, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is great as a reference for a personal trainer, exercise physiologist, or someone who is taking classes related to Exercise Science, and/or even someone just interested in the subject. The book is clear in it's explainations along with being clear to understand. It has great images for a variety of resistance machines and gives detailed information on what muscles are being used, the joint action, the movement path (i.e. rotary or compound) along with proper technique tips. The book also gives information on the types of exercise such as isokinetic and isotonic. It also explains about your muscles and the benefits of exercise, etc. I think it's a great book to own and I highly recommend buying it!
It really works! September 21, 2006

Five years ago, after my first child was born, I discovered this book. I've always worked out and been pretty fit, but as a new mom, I realized I could no longer live at the gym. I needed to make my workout more effective, but do it in less time. By following Dr. Wescott's advise, I was able to cut my workout to 1 hour, 3 times a week (I used to workout 2 hours, 4-5 times a week), and increase my strength and endurance. Within 6 weeks, I noticed a huge difference in my strength (I had previously plateaued). Now that I have 2 kids, I'm in maintenance-mode, but follow the same principles outlined in this book. I cut my workouts down to 2 times a week (1 hour per workout), but am maintaining my physique and physical abilities.
This book definitely is worth getting.

The book includes a description of free weight and other exercises, but the primary focus of the discussion of different excercises is Nautilus exercise equipment. Having said that, the book does an excellent job of discussing the theory behind setting up both strength and cardio training programs. It does a particularly good job of explaining and contrasting the various strength training approaches such as circuit training, high intensity training, and slow training. The book is a bargain for the price!
