The Complete Idiot's Guide to Weight Training Illustrated, 3rd Edition by Deidre Johnson Cane |
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Any large bookstore has a few shelves of books about exercise and fitness. Usually they fall into one of two categories: basic books meant for people who've never exercised before, and bodybuilding manuals meant for people who do nothing but. Weight Training for Dummies is just about the only book that spans the knowledge gap between the two groups. It has plenty of easy-to-understand instruction for complete beginners, but there's also a lot of information for those who've been training a while. In fact, some veteran gym rats may be startled by the authors' extreme skepticism about nutritional supplements and some popular classes offered in many gyms. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
