Finally, a book that makes sense of how your body reacts to exercise and fitness, and is written & illustrated in a very refreshing way. I have been working out for years, with and without trainers, with and without guides, and have gotten into a rut with the fitness industry. It's getting boring. Body Mechanics has brought new wind to the sails of exercise. It is an explanation of how the body 'thinks' and reacts, and is written to keep your attention. It is also a small spiral bound six month guide that is designed for your workout bag. You can take it all with you. It targets a properly designed workout program and the one common denominator in today's health clubs - you. Most of all it is very enjoyable to read, is illustrated beautifully, has charts that work, and has brought fun and results back into the picture. I'm very glad I got it.

A friend who I work out with referred the Body Mechanics Fitness Journal to me for use in tracking the progress of my workouts. Having tried several times to keep track on my own - I am ECSTATIC that someone came up with the idea to publish a journal specifically for the purpose of tracking this type of information!
Having this journal has made me more accountable in staying true to my workout schedule, and whats more it's been fun to monitor and see my strength improve as I log my results for each workout. It's only in the past year that I have begun to stick to a fitness regimen, and I found that the information provided in Body Mechanics along with the easy to follow layout of the charts/grids used for logging numbers to be helpful even to a beginner like myself. I have never had a book prove to be so effective that I felt the need to post a review about it, but Body Mechanics deserves kudos.

As a Kinesiology major, I found this book to be a great source for additional information. It's very well organized and an easy read!
