Guide Review - Pocket Trainer
Personal trainers are great for educating you on the proper way to exercise and for helping you stay motivated. But, if you can't afford a trainer, the next best thing is The Pocket Trainer, created by Ginny Porter and Jack Holleman. It has more than 50 exercises and stretches to help you build muscle and lose fat, and the large color photos make it easy to do each exercise correctly. Each page of The Pocket Trainer demonstrates a different exercise, recommended weights, sets and reps along with variations according to fitness level. There are tips for proper form and comparable exercises that can be done on machines. You'll also find training tips, sample programs and a full body workout for days when you're short on time.
