520 |a "In Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy, Second Edition, renowned trainer and best-selling author Bret Contreras has created the authoritative resource for increasing full-body strength without the need for free weights, fitness machines, or even a gym membership. Going far beyond standard pull-ups, push-ups, and squats, Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy includes 177 innovative exercises that target every muscle in the body. Presented in full color with anatomical illustrations of both the exercises and variations, this premier resource will help you ramp up your training. Each exercise includes step-by-step instructions demonstrating proper technique, while the illustrations depict the muscles in action and point out which ones are being engaged. Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy details how to create a customized program for building a stronger, more toned physique. The book also explains the benefits of doing a particular exercise, important safety guidelines, and ways to make an exercise either easier or more challenging. Because little to no fitness equipment is needed, the exercises can be done nearly anywhere-at home, in a hotel room, and even at work. Features such as Safety Tip sidebars and difficulty ratings make these exercises easy to approach and implement. Whether you are just beginning your quest for a better body or simply seeking a proven approach for training at home or on the road, Bodyweight Strength Training Anatomy, Second Edition, is a one-of-a-kind resource that you'll refer to again and again. Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam"-- Provided by publisher.
