The Resistance Band Workout Book [Mcneely, Ed] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Resistance Band Workout Book Review: Great book - I 'm new to using bands, and I found this book most helpful. It gives me plenty of options for exercises, and good, concise information on how to exercise properly with them. Review: Good book, could use some tuning, but overall good - I would've given this 3 1/2 stars although that is not an option (so i rounded up). First let me state that I think this is a great book. The writers provide excellent information and pictures so that a user can do the exercises with ease. They also provide good information to help the user to try to create a program that will help them fulfill their needs. There were a couple of things that I think the author could've improved upon. First, as another reviewer mentioned, they do not tell you the page numbers of the exercises in the end of the book (program section). When creating your program, it takes 3x as long to look up each individual exercise. Second, I did not like that they did not include what muscle (s) or groups were being worked out in each exercise. Granted the writers put the exercises under vague headings like Chest, arm, legs, etc. but they do not tell you specifics like biceps, traps, rear delts... like every other exercise book does. Lastly, I think the writers should have had several sample exercise plans that each cater to one's specific goals. If they revise this book and incorporate some of these suggestions, then this book would definitely be 5 stars.

Stretch your Workout
Wonder no longer how to best use all those cords and bands. This book breaks down the best exercises into sections to improve each muscle group. Work it hard or easy, but following these illustrations and instructions should make the outcome positive. At 71 years old, I'm stretching my limits and building muscle mass. Besides, I get to watch TV or listen to music while following the guide. The best book on the subject I have found, and at a very reasonable price.

Good book, and very helpful with resistance band workouts.
I like this book, it gives me a whole new outlook on the use of resistance band workouts. I just started to work out again, only I have heard so much about resistance band workouts, that I thought I would give it a try. I'm seeing some results with working out with resistance bands. Anyway this book will help anyone to learn about working out with bands. I would recommend this book.

Great help
I was very happy with this book and the pictures were needed and helpful. I just started using bands and didn't know anything about them, thanks for the help and now I'm using the exerciese with my workout partners.

Useless in Kindle format.
The pictures and explanations of them are so small that even on my 8.9 HDX kindle I cannot read the text. And I did try to increase the size in the font settings. This did not work because apparently the picture and text that accompany it are actually "pictures" so cannot be enlarged. I have emailed Amazon to ask for a refund.

Super-helpful for beginner who has bad knees!
As a person with bad knees, I'm finding this book very helpful in finding ways to exercise using resistance bands to strengthen my knees. I have neither the money nor the space for exercise machines, and the bands are a great alternative. I just wasn't sure how to use them and this book has been a godsend.
