I won't lie--I hate going to the gym. So I am a big fan of any exercise I can do at home. I have been wanting to find exercises I could do from home without a lot of bulky equipment (I'm in a small apartment--no room for anything fancy). So, when I saw this book, I picked it up on a whim and wow--so glad I did! The book does a fantastic job of defining all the terminology upfront so that once you get into the exercise portion, you have a clear understanding of what they are asking you to do. They even give a small lesson on the different muscles you'll be targeting with the exercises. I am not a fitness guru, so I am grateful that Ryan George wrote it in language that could be understood by us novices! The explanations for each exercise are well-written, clear, concise and there are pictures depicting each one--which is so helpful. I always check the picture to make sure I am doing it right. I feel this book is almost like having your own personal trainer right next to you--it has made exercising, at my own speed, fun again. Highly recommend it! Hoping the author comes out with more of these! Read more
This is a great book with fully detailed all encompassing information for getting healthy and fit. Read the entire book and be a guru or skim and use the workouts. Turn that home office into a fitness club without the commute. Read more
I love this book. I bought it because I wanted to do pull-ups at home and needed some illustrations, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot more in this book than I expected. There's a great section about goal setting, and a lot of wonderful tips and useful exercise templates that are goal-specific. The exercise templates are divided between different fitness levels, and the exercises are explained in easy-to-read detail. Overall, I found the book simple to follow and very motivating. I'm still working on perfecting my pull-up, but using this book as I guide I already feel myself improving. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to work out at home and doesn't want to invest in a lot of equipment. Read more
If I can't find my pull-up bar I will definitely buy a new one, and pick from the great diversity of exercises and applications in Ryan George's new book. The range of non-bar exercises are a nice "plus", too. Read more
