Well Rounded, Informative Book!
This is a very informative, 112 page book that explains more than several exercises and stretches to do with resistance bands. There are pictures with each and the book explains how to do each exercise properly and also variations and modifications in case you want to make the exercise a little more challenging or if you are not yet able to do it at the level they are showing.Almost all of the exercises are shown using just resistance tubes or bands, and either standing, sitting on a chair, or lying on a towel or (preferably) a mat. Some of them are done on an exercise ball. They could probably be done on another surface, but using the ball helps strengthen the core at the same time.After having done several stints in physical therapy for neck, elbow, wrist and lower back injuries and/or surgeries, I thought I would be familiar with every exercise in this book. However, there were several that I was not familiar with. It is actually exciting to see other variations to help keep things fresh, especially when you are in the early stages of recovery and you know it’s going to be a while before you will ever be a “gym rat” again. Thanks for a well done, well rounded exercise routine!

I’d say this is a pretty effective primer on resistance band workouts
I’d say this is a pretty effective primer on resistance band workouts. Other reviewers indicate its orientation is moderate or mild workouts, rather than major league strength training. Well, so be it — I just wanted an introduction to the subject, and this book fills the bill nicely, thorough and safe. The exercises are well explained and illustrated, and sample sets for specific goals or situations are given. If you’re after monster abs, I guess you should look elsewhere.

A good manual but not really necessary
I keep asking myself why I paid $10 for this manual when the Therabands are so self explanatory. No instruction necessary. Be inventive and play around with them. It’s more fun that way. But, if you prefer to be told what to do, this is the manual for you.

Helpful and comprehensive sets of exercises
This is a pretty comprehensive book that not only includes step-by-step instructions for each exercise, but exercise programs targeted to different needs as well.For example, there’s a set of exercises the author recommends for anyone who walks or jogs a lot. The exercises are intended to balance your workout by focusing on your core and upper body. Similarly, the book includes sets of exercises targeted to help with pain and medical issues, such as arthritis, knee pain and injuries, and back pain.I found this extremely helpful since I’ve been suffering from shoulder pain for years and want to safely strengthen my upper body.As a few other reviewers mentioned the book features exercises that use two types of bands: the simple flat band and the tubular kind with handles. I did end up buying both types.The book also includes several warmup exercises and stretches–though you’ll find them in the back of the book, which is a little out of order IMO.

Good reference book on resistance bands
I am into resistance band exercises. This book helps with each exercise. Only wish the photos were much clearer and in color.

I’m not new to exercising, but I am new to resistance band training and this is a really good introduction. Last year I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and was advised not to lift weights, since that can put undue stress on the heart, but to use resistance bands to build muscle instead. It’s surprisingly effective: the day after my first resistance band workout, I was sore, which I did not expect. The book has very clear instructions, lots of photographs and instructions, plus it shows different techniques depending on what kind of resistance band you’re using and whether you are using attachments.

The book shows how to do resistance band exercises and groups exercises for various sports and conditions. You can add or subtract exercises from your programme as you wish. Some exercises are shown with flat rubber bands and some with rubber cords that have handles l use the cords with handles. In the comments I read some criticism about some exercises shown with bands and some with cords you can use cords for the band exercises by gripping the cord in a suitable place without using the handles. I don’t use the rubber ball or dumbbell exercises. I find that the bandcord exercises are easier on the joints than dumbbells and probably better for people with arthritis.

Très moyen avec des photos de piètre qualité. Je regrette mon achat. En plus c’est en anglais. J’ai trouvé mieux gratuit sur le net
