The book is excellent for having colorful detailed pictures of 619 varying forms of exercise movements using weight or strength training. My only issue with the book is that the Women’s version is nearly identical to the Men’s version. I bought both, one for me and the other for my husband, thinking it would offer something different, because a woman’s body is different than a man’s and does not lose weight or build muscle at the same degree. I was sadly disappointed. Buying both is a waste of money. The information is exactly the same as well as the exercises, it also has the EXACT amount of pages in each book.
The diet plan section was too brief and did not go into enough detail. The cardio section was dismal at best. Some of the nutritional information was iffy, like High Fructose Corn Syrup being nutritional similiar to sugar,that’s a crock. Look up HFCS and find out how they manufacture it. Any synthetic food should be limited, but natural is better thank synthetic, and as the book states both should be limited. But it didn’t say any of the harmful effects that HCFS has on your liver and how it’s works harder trying to process HFCS. My theory, if God didn’t grow it, don’t eat it.
What I did like was the exercises, I like how the sections were divided and how it went into detail describing the muscles being worked for that section and why it is important to work that particular muscle group. It’s very easy to navigate through and it has exercises to perform for home or for the gym.
I think the price is too high for what they deliver, but if you can find it cheaper than the listed retail price which is 24.99 plus shipping which is nearly $4, I say go for it. But it’s definitely not worth 28.00.
I will be sending The Women’s Big Book of Exercises back and keeping the Men’s Big Book for my husband

This book has great examples of all the exercises. In the back of the book are all the different workouts. I choose the Become a Spartan one and found that it is a great grouping of workouts. Enjoy

I am a new Personal Trainer and love to have reference books. This one as well as the womens one are GREAT! They help me to mix up workouts for certain body parts by giving me ideas for cable machine, excercise ball, etc. Plus the workout suggestions in the back of the book are great as well.
