Movin' To The Music Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What a rare treat to find a text that I would atually feel comfortable using in the classes I teach both at the Univerisity and at the dance studio. As Vice-President of the UCWDC (an international competitive dance arena) in charge of judge certification, I am a stickler for proper technique, and Melissa...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After 10 years of failed attempts at learning to swim, this book did the trick.Excellent step by step approach builds confidence and avoids the "just do it" leap that is so hard to make.Each step begins with the why and the what. These are followed by drills that gradually put all the parts together....

Lecture Notes on Orthopaedics and Fractures (Lecture Notes Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is hardly recomended anymore because the latest edition is over ten years old. The book is very easy to read, which is its best attribute. It covers both general and regional orthopaedic, but fails to go in any depths in either areas. Some of the themes covered seems quite random, and the treatment...

Chair Yoga for You: A Practical Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What a great way to use your time in the office during those one hour phone calls. I have the book on my desk so I can strike a pose or two while I listen to people talk. For the endurance and strength postures, I close the door in case people pass by in the hall. They might not understand the warrior...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The late Mr. Apley was one of the outstanding teachers in Orthopaedics. His approach to examination and his contribution to the clinical approach made it possible to many around the globe to learn, enjoy and expand their horizons in Orthopaedics. Very few could sum up complex clinical situations with...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Yoga Illustrated, Third Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read the Complete Idiot's Guide to Yoga over a year ago. I have found myself practicing yoga faithfully and referring to the book ever since. The book gives a wonderful overview of this centuries old practice. I particularly liked the book for the authors' humor and openmindedness. As can be found...

OM Yoga: A Guide to Daily Practice Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I love this book! I take a weekly class, but this book gave me the tools to incorporate yoga into my daily schedule. The routines are short (15 minutes or so, though you can make them longer if you want to), there's variety so each day focuses on different challenges, and everything's well explained.My...

No OM Zone: A No-Chanting, No-Granola, No-Sanskrit Practical Guide to Yoga Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a relatively new Yogi, reading "The No Om Zone" has really helped to improve my practice. It provides a level of instruction that can often be hard to get in a packed yoga class. It is chockfull of photos that have been very useful in understanding the exact positioning of each body part during a...

The Men's Health Gym Bible Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The topics covered in the book are wide ranging and informative but the editing in some parts leave little to be desired. For example, in chapter 13 on the Muscle-Building Workout, the instructions and the actual layout of the workouts don't coincide. The instructions say the leg workouts should be done...

Orthopaedic Examination, Evaluation, and Intervention Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great buy. Not very practical for day-to-day use. I prefer Hoppenfeld and Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis for a practical physical exam. And the Pocket Guide to MSK Dx is also good for history taking. But Dutton is a good buy for a reference book and has some good info in it.Click...

The S Factor: Strip Workouts for Every Woman Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book is very well laid-out. It starts with detailed stretches for every muscle group and then goes into some simple floor work. The floor work is very derivative of yoga and Pilates, but with an erotic twist, of course. Floor work is especially good for the abs, but it also works your shoulders,...
