The Resistance Band Workout Book

I would've given this 3 1/2 stars although that is not an option (so i rounded up). First let me state that I think this is a great book. The writers provide excellent information and pictures so that a user can do the exercises with ease. They also provide good information to help the user to try to create a program that will help them fulfill their needs.There were a couple of things that I think the author could've improved upon. First, as another reviewer mentioned, they do not tell you the page numbers of the exercises in the end of the book (program section). When creating your program, it takes 3x as long to look up each individual exercise. Second, I did not like that they did not include what muscle (s) or groups were being worked out in each exercise. Granted the writers put the exercises under vague headings like Chest, arm, legs, etc. but they do not tell you specifics like biceps, traps, rear delts... like every other exercise book does. Lastly, I think the writers should have had several sample exercise plans that each cater to one's specific goals.If they revise this book and incorporate some of these suggestions, then this book would definitely be 5 stars.

"The materials and construction are top notch. I did return these however, due to the fact that the exercises for the legs are not enough for me. The book I bought to go along with this did explain that the lower body did not receive as good a workout as the upper body using resistance bands. IF that had been in the description of the product I where I could have view the information BEFORE buying I would NOT have bought it and be out the shipping to return the merchandize to them. Which is really my one and only complaint. But since I am out that money and have no product to show for it I feel it is a serious complaint".This is what I wrote for the bands--the book is fine if you want to keep and use bands.

Poorly written horrible exercises small print ..Gave away..

This is a very nice book that explains everything very simple. I recomend this book for somebody that is new on using resistance bands since it would provide you some knowledge on how to use the bands. The only downside I think is that it doesn't explains the expecific muscles that you are working when doing the exercises but everything else is fabulous.

I like this book, it gives me a whole new outlook on the use of resistance band workouts. I just started to work out again, only I have heard so much about resistance band workouts, that I thought I would give it a try. I'm seeing some results with working out with resistance bands. Anyway this book will help anyone to learn about working out with bands. I would recommend this book.

As a person with bad knees, I'm finding this book very helpful in finding ways to exercise using resistance bands to strengthen my knees. I have neither the money nor the space for exercise machines, and the bands are a great alternative. I just wasn't sure how to use them and this book has been a godsend.

Hard to do an exercise guide and keep things interesting, but I guess that's not the primary purpose. For a guide to using resistance bands for strength and conditioning, it's a excellent source. I find it easier to use traditional books for my exercise programs than digital media, for some reason. This books works well for me.

This is a very basic book and some of the diagrams are hard to tell exactly what was to occur. I teach a senior class for strength training and use the resistance bands weekly....sorry to say I have more ideas on what to do with the bands for strength training then the book. But, to be fair if you're new to the bands then this will work just fine...be prepared though to buy additional equipment to allow usage on doors etc.

Book is very "unattractive" and only shows icons instead of real people. The worst is that the page are too small to read. Not sure what they have tought to inly use 50% of page size instead of 100%

I thought I would be getting a more comprehensive guide to resistance band training but found it not overly informative and the diagrams left quiet a lot to be desired, in future I will stick to youtube.

Great buy

pleased

Good book
