What makes this book unique is that readers can see the muscles at work during each exercise, like an X ray of the body in motion. Are there definite anatomical differences in the way men and women should build their bodies? According to the best-selling author and illustrator of Strength Training Anatomy, the answer is an overwhelming yes! Exercise variations based on a womans unique anatomical features are also covered, helping to isolate muscles and make each exercise more effective. Make your workouts work harder for you! If you work out to strengthen and shape your body or if you help women get stronger and more defined, this is one book you need for understanding the female form and getting the most from your exercises.

Rating: - Great lower body exercises and visuals of muscles usedI just reviewed the Strength Training Anatomy book and how I had to buy two because my husband ran off with the other copy to take to work so I decided to review this one as well. This is the same premise, great visuals of the muscles used during each exercise and detailed written description of how to do the exercise. I've been looking for books like these for a while. The female one only covers legs, butt, abs and back. The back is extremely limited but the others give some wonderful exercises. If ...

When I discovered this, after having already been totally impressed by the quality and thoroughness of the medical knowledge, anatomical detail, terminology and artwork in this book, I immediately ordered Delavier's STRENGTH TRAINING ANATOMY, the original volume, which does include both men and women, and which gives a full description of the arms, neck, shoulders and chest. The first volume of course ... Read More |
