The Weight Training Handbook encourages readers to begin working out, whatever their age or fitness level, by presenting step-by-step techniques that can transform physique within weeks, boosting overall cardiovascular output, strength and stamina, as well as confidence and self-esteem. Written by a leader in his field, this book offers a logical approach: the first chapters discuss the theory of resistance training, gym etiquette and basic anatomy and physiology, before going on to stretches, exercises and scientifically formulated workout programmes. Various goals are addressed - from weight loss to building body mass or simply enjoying the benefits of a total routine. Accompanied by clear instructions and illustrations, The Weight Training Handbook will have beginners versed in free weights, barbells, dumbbells and strength-training machines in no time.
