If you want to get in shape, but have no idea how to do so and are too embarrassed to go to a gym, then this book is for you.The book begins by having the reader take a self-assessment test wich is composed of a1-mile walk/run, push-ups, and toe touch.Don't feel bad if you can't doany of the above, the book covers that situation.From there, in auser-friendly, color-coded format, the book helps you design a program thatfits your needs.
I bought the book thinking it would help me design aweight-training program for myself.It isn't that advanced.All of theresistance training it contains can be performed sith just your body weightand some common household items (such as water bottles).
For a completenovice, this is where to begin.If, like me, you're a little moreadvanced, but want help in setting up a weight-lifting program, then Irecommend Weight Training Steps to Success by Baechle and Groves.
