Rating: Summary: Simply the Best! Review: Finally information you can trust! This is the best personal trainer-consumer book I have ever come across. It provides the perfect balance of science and practicality, written in an easy to read personable style.One of the big bonuses of this book are Brooks's top 15 strength and stretch exercises. They are worth the price of the book alone. This is also a great book to begin your studies to become a personal trainer. As an exercise physiologist, this is the first book I reach for as a reference in the development of handouts for my individual and corporate clients. You can't miss with this one!!

Rating: Summary: Great book Review: Great book. I used to work out with my personal trainer in NYC Joe DiAngelo www.musclebomb.com and he recommended me this book.
Great!
Rating: Summary: Science of Your Personal Training Review: In college I studied the physiology of exercise. I enjoyed reading a text, (Physiology of Sport and Exercise by Jack H. Wilmore & David L. Costill) and the instructor mentioned Douglas Brooks, and some of the hand-outs were from articles done by Douglas Brooks. 'Your Personal Trainer' dispells a lot of myths, and is simply a practical book on fitness. Train hard and have fun! Guro Dennis Servaes http://www.dennisservaes.com

Rating: Summary: Comprehensive Guide to Fitness Review: This is a must-read for someone just starting out in a fitness program of any type. Comprehensive information is presented in a logical way with enough details to satisfy more informed readers. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Your Personal Trainer Review: This is the best book I have read on this subject. It is especially motivating for the person who is just starting out and does not really know how to begin an excercise program. It is very clearly written and covers every aspect of the workout. The pictures are great! The models look like normal people, so one doesn't feel overwhelmed by bodybuilders upon opening the book. I have been working out for a year now and would like to say "Thank you Douglas Brooks for keeping me motivated"
