If you intend on completing all the exercises in this book I'd highly recommend that you order a light, medium and heavy resistance band. Most of the exercises can be completed with a medium resistance band, however there are some that are impossible to do properly without light or heavy resistance.

The exercises are all fairly simple to do. ... Read More

If you don't want to travel with 200 lbs of weights, then stretch tubing is the way to go. Leave your weights at home, and take a small bag of stretch tubing when you're on the road or on vacation.

There are good color pictures and detailed instructions. The only thing better would be to have someone do the exercises for you.

There's a lot to like about this book. First of all,I like the unique evercises for each muscle group of the body. The illustrations are clear and the exercise desciption concise.There's no long drawn out clutter.The stretch section alone is worth the price of the book...and exercising with stretch tubing makes sooo much sense ! We sorely need a more common sense approach to exercising and this book fills that need.
