Actual photos showing you how the exercise should be done!
This is a really simple guide which is great since I don't want to spend my workout reading how to do the workout. I have the kindle edition and I really like it because I can have it right next to me when I workout and I can just swipe to the next exercise. This guide actually shows people doing the exercises, along with text on how to do the move, which I find much easier to understand than drawn/sketched figures. I have a band that is looped which isn't used in any of the examples but I'm able to make most of the exercise work. The hardest part is finding an anchor to attach your band to for many of the exercises, but that's my problem and has nothing to do with the guide. Overall I think this is a great way to learn and understand the exercises. Plus there are 30 options so if you don't like some of them or can't do them you can skip them! I received this product at a discounted price for an unbiased honest review.

Good source for basic information.
I liked this book but did not find enough in it that was unique to warrant more than 3 stars.Pros: Gave examples with pictures for exercises that worked all different parts of the body. Suggest which type of resistance band would work best with each exercise (tube with handles or flat). Had a nice balance of exercises that required anchoring the band and those that did not need an anchor. Exercises were organized by area of focus in the back of the book.Cons: Exercises were basic and most can be found on various Pinterest boards. Each exercise was standalone, there were no groupings or suggested pairings on how to get the most out of your workout - all that was given was the suggestion to do either a combination of 3 (10 minutes), 6 (20 minutes) or 8 (30 minutes) moves, that seemed to be more about your time budget than a balanced workout.I gave this one 3 stars as it is nice to have all of the exercises in one handy reference for direction and form correction but it was lacking in the 'how to get the most bang for your buck' department. What would have been really nice would be a 'here's how we combine the moves' section. I understand that this book was not meant to be the end all-be all of resistance band training but it could have been so much more than it is.**This book was either free or discounted at the time I purchased it but the opinions in this review are my own.**

A great book for a great workout with resistance bands
A new year and new determination. I wanted a way to help tone my severely neglected body, but weights weren't practical. I needed something simple that I can do at home or at work. I have the Kindle edition and I like it. I can view it from my desk while at work, or take with me when I travel. There is a page reference in the index to the exercises, which is nice. There are a good variety of exercises which help keep the routine interesting or find something that works for space you have to exercise. There are some exercises that require anchor points. This book has great photos of the exercises to ensure you are doing them properly for best results.I received this free or virtually so for product testing and review.

I'm quite pleased. If you have a tablet I recommend the ...
I was looking for some simple exercises I could do at home or in a hotel room with focus on specific body areas that I knew needed work. After reading a bunch of reviews of other similar books... and there are a lot of them... I decided to try this one. I'm quite pleased.If you have a tablet I recommend the Kindle edition for several reasons, not the least of which is that it is significantly cheaper! It is also handy to lay it on the floor next to me and to be able to bookmark the workout I want. Also, as stated in other reviews, the paper edition does not have a page reference from the index to the exercises. The Kindle edition has hot links so that is not a problem.While it is short, there is a good selection of different exercises for each area of the body... sufficient that if one is too difficult or boring or not suitable for the space you are in... another can be used.While many exercises are shown using tubing, I have found that most can also be done with bands even though tubing is shown. Many do require anchor points. The illustrations show one way of doing this. (I do not suggest using door handles.). There are several inexpensive door anchor straps available here on Amazon that can be used for bands or tubing. The instructions with those show how best to use them.
