Book Reviews of Stronger Legs and Lower Body
Book Review: A good reference on lower body strengh and deveopment
Summary: 5 Stars
A complete, concise and comprehensive reference with 124 different exercises for legs, and lower body (gluts, abs, lower back).
It has exercises for strengthening, stabilizing, toning, shaping, and conditioning. There are even cardio programs for fat-burning. Each exercise is fully illustrated and described in detail, including setup, action, and safety information.
I disagree with the previous reviewer, since the book has dumbbells and barbells exercises alternatives (squats, dead-lifts and lunges) that can be used at home. I own this book, and it has been very illustrative to help me pick the right exercise to workout at the gym, and at home.
If you are lloking for an at home exercise guide, you might want to consider "The Men's Health Home Workout Bible".
