Functional Anatomy for Sport and Exercise: Quick Reference Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an anatomy book with virtually no illustration, and none of the muscles. There is a text description of each joint and its movement, but unless you can easily visualize sentences such as "The primary movement is flexion-extension in the sagittal plane" then this book is probably not for you.
Though "sport and exercise" are in the title, there are no descriptions of multiple joint movements (e.g. military press, side kick, jumping). There are a total of thirteen illustrations; none of which describe muscle insertion or attachment nor joint movement. The "hot topics discussed in detail" are: 1. Tibial stress fractures in runners, 2. The use of foot orthotics in the prevention of injury, 3. Quantitative motion analysis in biomechanics, 4. Anterior cruciate ligament injury in athletes, and 5. Carpal tunnel syndrome in the workplace.
I would recommend "Anatomy of Movement" by Calais-Germaine instead for undergraduate and graduate studies in functional anatomy of the musculo-skeletal system.

Fitness Weight Training - 2nd Edition (Fitness Spectrum Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a book that would lead me step by step through a program for toning and weight loss. This book has it all. Instructions, starting points for weight on each exercise, suggestions of warm up and cool down, etc. There are three main programs outlined in the book, one for toning, one for strength training and one for body building. There is also a detailed section on how to set up your own weight training program.
I bought this book because I wanted a program to follow without paying for a personal trainer. It works! I was an absolute beginner and have been at it now for about 30 weeks - the results are great.

Teach Yourself Visually Weight Training Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I cross country ski race and have been lifting weights for years without any instruction - I've just learned by watching others and seeing pictures in some of the XC ski racing books I've purchased over the years. But I always knew I was missing something: proper form. I'd looked at some of the body building books, but their focus on massive muscle building was not for me - I want fast, small muscles. Excessive bulk just makes it harder to climb hills in a race!
It was with great pleasure that I stumbled on to "Teach Yourself Visual: Weight Training." From my perspective, there are several major benefits to this book:
First, the book has sections for weight machines, free weights, exercise balls, and stretch tubes. I've used all in my training, and it's really valuable to have examples of each in one book. Obviously, the book can't show you every machine out there, but it does provide hints on how you can utilize other equipment.
Second, the book provides clear examples of what to do and - more importantly - what not to do. I found out after all these years that you really need to tighten your abs when you lift. I found that some of the back problems I had been experiencing disapeared as soon as I followed that tip. That simple hint alone was worth the cost of the book.
Third, it clearly shows what muscles are being exercised and tells you ways to make the various exercise easier or harder to fit your conditioning level.
For people who may feel a little imtimidated by books showing muscle-bound, high testosterone men and women, this book is very non-threatening. It provides simple, straight-forward examples using people who look "normal."
There's lots of other info that's useful, too.
Overall: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Kettlebell Training for Athletes: Develop Explosive Power and Strength for Martial Arts, Football, Basketball, and Other Sports, pb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is for the competitive athlete.
As a current medical student, former college football player and continuing student of athletic training I do not recommend this book to anybody serious about training for a sport. This book's first half has a very basic description of kettlebell exercises that any certified kettlebell trainer could give you. The second half has a prescription of workouts for various sports. They are generic and not very catered (e.g. same basic exercises except for football its 5 reps and basketball its 10 reps) to the varying demands of each sport. There aren't to my knowledge actually any good sport specific kettlebell books for competitive team sport athletes at this time. Kettlebell training is too new in the US, professional teams are starting to incorporate kettlebell training into their workouts but they are still experimenting with regimens. Reading the author's story about himself in the introduction gives no reason why he should be trusted as someone who can give sound advice for exercise routines for athletes of the various sports he writes about.
As a basic book for a novice to kettlbells that wants to get more "toned" I would give this 3 stars.

Strength Training for Women Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start off by saying that this book is available for free online, which is where I have read it, and I intend to buy it so that I have a reference copy. (I almost appreciate it being available free enough to buy it just because I support that).
I have recently joined a health club, and really wanted to try weight training. I had been feeling very intimidated, and this book has pretty much fixed that. I'm the type of person who likes to have a lot of information and think things through thoroughly, especially when I am a little nervous about them. All the background information about the different types of training and exercises really helped me to feel comfortable, though I can see how it might not seem relevant to those who have already been training for a while, or who are not the information junkies that I am.
The sample training plans and the descriptions and images of each exercise were probably the most helpful part of this book. I was able to read it, practice some of the movements I wasn't sure about at home without weight, and then hit the gym. I'm completely a beginner, and the level of information in this book was just what I was looking for to get me started since I can't really afford to hire a trainer.

Men's Health Maximum Muscle Plan: The High-Efficiency Workout Program to Increase Your Strength and Muscle Size in Just 12 Weeks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book over a year ago and have read and followed it ever since, and right now I'm in the best shape of my life so far. I believe I'm in a good position to write a review for it. What I like about the book is that:
- It describes a large number of exercises in great detail (along with "make it easier" and "- harder" versions)
- It included traditional as well as newer exercises
- Useful for beginners as well as advanced lifters
- Includes topics like nutrition, cardio-workouts, sports specific fitness etc. in reasonable details
- The book doesn't make any unrealistic promises. (The results you achieve depend on the efforts you put in; a book can only guide you along the path)
- Gives injury prevention tips
- Makes an excellent reference guide
- Although the title says "Men's health", it can be used by women too (My wife often looks up exercises from it)
- Offers advice based on science-backed wisdom
- Useful if you want to do strength/weight training (as opposed to ONLY bodybuilding)
- Doesn't promote any brand-named products
This book helped me a lot when I was a total beginner and I still look it up when I feel like changing my routine or to check if my form is correct. Although I have used other fitness books, this book remains the backbone of my lifting plan. Over all, I'll highly recommend this book if you are serious about fitness and weight-training, even if you are a beginner.

Complete Conditioning for Basketball (Complete Conditioning for Sports Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides good inside looks for specific conditioning methods of basketball. It's detailed and the DVD is a great help to understand the correct execution, though not all excercises in the book are shown on the DVD. This Source of Basketball Conditioning includes all the important factors of the ball game as warm up, conditioning, strength, power, speed and agility. It also provides a guideline how to handle this methods in practice and includes a whole season conditioning schedule with lots of schedules and tables.
As you are probably interested of the benefitial side of the book, you may ask the question: "Does the book help myself beeing a better coach/player? Is it possible to include the provided information into my practices?"
As i read the whole book and worked some stuff out of it, i can recommend it as a must for all ambitious coaches at all levels (Youth, Pros), though keep in mind that it is always great to have different sources on the same topic on your book shelve, so you can make up your mind and create youre own style of conditioning methods.
BUT: As you have developed your style, this book may be the one you put on your everyday usage shelve.
As i recommend this great source there are some restrictions for the usage.
First, a little part of the strenght excercises do not seem to be healthy especially for youth players with weak back muscles. (Don't be irritated, the books excercises are made by specialists)
Second, there are some facility limitations. To get the best out of this book, well you need access of a basketball court including a seperate gym for the strength/power exercising. Some excercises indlude agility leaders, swiss balls etc. Be aware that the very useful drills include this facility inventory.
Third, for basketball coaches be aware that conditioning is at best when it starts at preseason. So the time factor is a great deal, if you have a stable team and good organization you can get more out of this book than with youth teams, who meet themselves and start practicing 2 weeks in front of the first game.
Hope this quick feedback helps you out there to evaluate the use of this book for yourself!
Take care,
Alexander Wermuth

Abs Revealed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm reading through my copy of Abs Revealed and just have to say "WOW!" Love this book already and Ross' professional and straight forward approach. This book is for men AND women (although the cover pic and "six-pack" success may intimidate some women) and really offers instruction for getting great looking abs, as well as better overall core strength, health and fitness. Ross taps in to his years of experience and expertise to craft a book full of ideas and innovative exercises that are easily modified to fit someone at any fitness level (which also means they grow with you as your own strength increases).
The first three chapters or 40 pages, cover Core Concepts including ideas about strength, stability, cardio and diet. I really like how Ross is able to articulate concepts so they are easily understood and applied to my every day life. He addresses myths and misconceptions in shaded highlight boxes and provides his "reality" answers, which are thoughtful and factual.
The next 75 pages or so of the book illustrate exercises using the floor, TRX, stability ball, slide and or basic equipment. There's a really great exercise finder in the front of the book that lists the exercise name along with the page number and a red dot under which piece of equipment is needed. Each exercise is clearly described using position, technique and performance tips and the multi-position photos illustrate the moves. As a mother of two small children, I really appreciate having effective workouts and exercises that can be done outside of a gym.
The rest of the book is devoted to programming and planning your own workouts, setting goals and maintaining your results. Anyone can achieve "six-pack success" and Ross really shows you how. I think this book is a must have for anyone interested in better core strength and fitness and who want to see results.

Weight Training: Steps to Success - 3rd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are sites springing up all over the web that will design a weight training program for you. If you're like me, though, you like to do things yourself -- not becuase you can necesarily do it better, but because you want to learn how. This book teaches you how to design your own program.
In a series of 12 steps, you will learn the basics of equipment, exercises, program design, etc. You start with a total body routine that you will do three days a week for 4-6 weeks. Then, you design your own program. You'll decide how many exercises per body part, how many reps, sets, days -- everything. That's what's so gret about this book -- the customability (is that a word?).
This book is aimed for beginners, but persons with a more advanced background with weights could get some use out of it as well.
One gripe I have is that there are not enough exercises listed for you to chose from once you get to steps 10-12. By that time, though, you probably have spent enough time in the gym to learn some others. Also, there are no exercises presented that use dumbells instead of barbells. Many experts think beginners should use barbells, but I prefer dumbells since I usually workout alone without a spotter.
This is definitely the right book for someone who wants to do more than simply copy others he or she sees in the gym.

FrameWork Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)'Framework' is a fitness program for your bones and joints and offers a complete workout combined with diet and lifestyle advice. It is divided up into three parts. Part one discusses why you need framework. Part two is the program and its components include cardio, core strengthening and flexibility, upper and lower body stretching and strengthening exercises, resting and recovering, diet, and decreasing stress. And finally, part three discusses various treatment options for when your frame fails (injuries). This is not a terribly detailed section, but rather offers the reader a general overview. All-in-all I felt it to be a worthwhile resource for anyone looking to give their aged or worn frame a tune-up. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff for more detailed info on rotator cuff tears and fixing many shoulder problems.

And unlike other workouts, Framework starts with a unique self-test that uncovers potential problems with your frame, your workout, your nutrition, and more. It even combines diet and lifestyle advice with a balanced, customizable workout that acknowledges the fact that our bodies are all a little different and often need special attention. It teaches you to pay attention to what your body tries to tell you, and when it is being challenged by a special problem, whether it is a heel spur or stress on the job.Best of all, Nicholas A. DiNubile, M.D., who serves as orthopedic consultant for the Philadelphia 76ers as well as the Pennsylvania Ballet, shows you how to work around--helping without hurting--any muscle or joint problems you may already have.

Women's Strength Training Anatomy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give this book 2 stars because half of it is missing. Don't expect to be able to use this book to get the nicely toned arms, chests and shoulders so beautifully illustrated here because there are NO upper body exercises included at all. The half of the book there is, IS very good, with beautiful and clear illustrations and easy to undertand. (I do wish that the sketched woman working on her "adductors at a machine", on page 69, had been drawn wearing an exercise bra.) I should have read the other reviews here. Now I'm going to buy Strength Training Anatomy to find out what's been left out. *Sigh* it seems like another chapter of the same old story: women are always having to wait longer for women's versions of products and then paying extra for them. And just like clothing--less material, lower quality and higher prices. Hey! Maybe these guys don't want us to have strong upper bodies! That way we could punch them out for pulling stunts like these.
