DK's Science of series dives into the science of various types of exercises such as weight training, running, and yoga. Delavier gives us incredible anatomical sketches and a no-nonsense description for a comprehensive list of strength exercises by body part. This is a fantastic reference book for pretty much anyone who works out - regardless of your reason or level.When I decided to brush up on weight training I got several books out of the library including this one and the one written by Delavier for women.
