This is a beautifully illustrated guide to body building and strength training. It has instructions to avoid injuries common to heavy weight lifters.

5 Stars First rate
Strength Training Anatomy is perfect for any conditioning coach working with athletes at any level, as it provides clear visuals of the specific muscles being worked, and also describes with cautions, exercises to enhance those particular muscles. We use the visuals to show our athletes in hockey, soccer and track and field what we are focusing on with each exercise and find that this helps the athlete to become much more in tune and serious about concentrating and being specific. Perfect to show an athlete with an injury exactly what has happened and where, and what we have to do to work around the injury or to provide rehabilitation.

Buy it. You’ll like it!

5 Stars Incrediblle workout
Jillian does it again. I have lost 20lbs in the last month!!! Sometimes I want to kill her when I am doing it, but every morning when I look in the mirror I forgive her and to the dvd again. This is not an easy one, but it gets results!

5 Stars awesome workout
This workout is not easy, but I have been doing it for a month now and have lost 17lbs. I have been following Jillians diet as well, because I am on her website, but doing her videos is really accelerating my weight loss.

5 Stars The Biggest Challenge
This one is by far, in my opinion the hardest Jillian workout to date. I got the dvd yesterday and try it, I couldn’t do some of the exercises because they were so hard. Jillian is crazy!!!! This dvd is motivation for me. I’ve decided to do it once a week and do my other jillian workouts along with Mel B’s new one the rest of the week. I will say this, with Jillian’s workout, you actually see and feel the difference. I was so sore the next day but it was a good sore. Since I’ve been doing her workout consistantly ( I have alot of other workout dvd’s) I have notices more definition all around, but especially in my trouble zone the abs, I can actually see my ab muscles and my stomach is alot flatter.

3 Stars fun!
I actually first tried this workout video through net-flix AND loved it!!!! I ordered it because I felt like it was a really sweet investment.. the actual workouts are SO MUCH FUN… I always feel SO SORE the next day… i love to work out… video’s dont normally float my boat: but LOVE this one!

5 Stars Butt Kicker!
First of all I want to say I am NOT an active person. I don’t exercise, I eat anything I want, & I smoke. I recently gained a minor amount of weight after starting a new medication, and being that I’m relatively thin to begin with, I knew I had to get rid of the extra weight and just get myself into better shape. I’ve tried the gym, and that’s just not for me. I’ve tried other videos that didn’t leave me feeling like I did any work afterwards.

I searched around Amazon, came across this video, read the reviews, and decided I would give it a try. I finally got to work with this video after 3 weeks of procrastinating, and man, did it kick my butt! I wanted to give up just after the warm-ups, but I knew I had to stick with it. I will admit, this isn’t a exercise video for amatuers like myself, but I want to stick with this, and I had muscles hurting the next day (and a few days after that!) that I didn’t even know existed! I’ve been now working out to ‘No More Trouble Zones’ for 2 weeks every other day or two, and its causing such a change in my life. I’m motivated to work out everyday, eat better and QUIT SMOKING!

I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who’s in decent shape who really wants to tone up. I’m very please with the range of circuits (and that I don’t have to do all of them every time) and the results I’m seeing so far. I look forward to seeing my final results!

I bought this magazine for my boyfriend and I was expecting it to come begining the month of March and I already got it!

Wow, and it had a very good motivator, we are running again!

3 Stars Review on Runner’s World
This magazine is very informative on how to prevent injuries, run faster and train for new types of races.

1 Star WARNING, DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SELLER
On 7/17/08 I bought a subscription via Amazon to the Runners World Magazine. As of today, December 16, 2008, I haven’t receive a single issue of the magazine, even thought they charged my credit card account for the amount of $20.00 on 7/17/08. When I contacted customer service I received an email with a single line:

Your order was placed through an independent sales agency and it will be necessary for you to contact them.

No names, no phone #. I am very disapointed. DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SELLER.

5 Stars I certainly recommend this magazine for all those runners or future runners.
Great magazine which helps keep me informed on all the latest running tips, techniques and nutrition recommendations. You can’t beat it for the low price.
