| Summary |
The Personal Trainer's Handbook features the Resistance Workout Guide, a special section that contains fully-illustrated descriptions of 91 of the most common strength and flexibility exercises. Accompanying each exercise is a bullet point list that explains the objectives of the exercise, breaks down the exercise into its basic parts, tells trainers what form points to watch for, and identifies mistakes to avoid. Filled with insights that would take years for trainers to discover on their own, the Resistance Workout Guide makes it easy for personal trainers to guide their clients toward effective, successful workouts |
