This book is great if you want to do a series of exercises to tone different parts of your body. The book has 40 exercises altogether. To perform the exercises you'll need so 3 or 5 pound weights, an unweighted bar, and some ankle weights (you can substitute with cans of soup, a broom handle, and some towels or something around your legs in the beginning). I found the exercises great as they each target a different muscle. This was a great addition to my cardio routine.

I have purchased a few different free-weight books and this is the only one worth the paper it was printed on. This book covers all major muscle groups and dedicates a chapter each to muscular anatomy (important for visualization and isolation of muscles while perfoming the exercises) and building routines to match your fitness level - you will not outgrow this book. The explanations for each exercise are thorough and easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone beginning a resistance training routine.
