Synopsis
Subtitled : A Trainer's Inside Guide To Your Workout.
What happens to your body when you exercise? Which muscles are involved in which movements?
Anatomy of Exercise will show you exactly what your body does when you go to the gym. All of the exercises are presented with clear instructions, full-colour photography and detailed anatomical illustrations, annotated with every involved muscle.
Anatomy of Exercise is a unique guide to strength training. It uses stunning 3D colour illustrations to guide the reader through a complete range of strength exercises, each highlighting exactly which muscles are used and how. The book is an ideal resource for everyone interested in exercise - from those new to training who are looking for clear and simple guidance to students and health and fitness professionals looking for a detailed guide to anatomy. The book takes a logical progression through training: warm up stretching legs back chest shoulders arms abdominals. Every exercise is fully supported with a detailed written description, photograph of the exercise being performed by a leading personal trainer and a 3D illustration to show which muscle groups are being used.
