Excellent handbook for resistance band training
I highly recommend this book. The core of this guide contains the 50 exercises using resistance bands. Each exercise is illustrated with photographs of the author performing the exercise together with a description of how to do it, which muscle(s) are targeted and points to pay attention to. Crucially, this is followed by a section on how to design your own workout and a selection of sample workouts including routines for those who wish to exercise two, three, four or five to six times per week. The 5 times / week routine includes one for beginners and another for advanced users. There is also a core body workout routine. There are other useful chapters on muscle recovery, and at the beginning of the book there an introduction outlining the benefits of strength training and a description of the types of resistance bands and how to choose them. Most of the exercises in the book employ either the tubing with handles type of band or mini bands. Although there are a few exercises for Pull-up assist bands, it's perfectly possible to do without those (in fact none of the sample routines use them). I thought this was a model guide, clear and practical, and way better than watching YouTube videos of muscle-bound gorillas blasting through routines which I instantly forget.11/08/21 Correction: There are a couple of exercises using pull-up assist bands in the later sample workouts in the book - I forgot that I just substituted other exercises using tubes or mini bands which targeted the same muscle groups. There are only 5 assist band exercises in the whole book (out of a total of 50).

Zeer geschikt voor ouderen
Dit boek en deze methode is uitermate geschikt (ook) voor ouderen.Een setje rekbanden aanschaffen en je kan direct aan de slag, thuisof buiten in het park. Ik ben er blij mee.

A Very Good Primer
Book was readable, clear and easily understood. My one gripe is that I wish that the exercises were grouped in body parts ie chest exercises found at pages 28 to 37 etc.

Demo pictures useful
Not able to use all the exercises unless you have a combo of long and short bands and equipment to attach bands to. Useful combination of suggested sets.
