User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Original and dynamite
I now own a lot of resistance training books of various sorts - using dumb-bells, or the thera-band. This book is unique, the only one I found using large rubber bands (I didn’t even know such things existed). I had hesitated to buy this book because of the reviewers who said the rubber bands were harsh in thier hands. When I got the book and tried the exercises I found there was absolutely no discomfort from using the bands without gloves, that was a relief. In addition, I LOVE the exercises, they somehow get at muscles in a different way than other methods. The exercises are well explained and the photographs make it easy to see exactly how to do each one. This book is among my favorites. I did not want to use the order form for new bands at the back of the book because I was afraid prices might have gone up or something since the book was published, so I did a web search on SPRI Rubber Band and found a site called LeighCrews.com, or DynaLife (it’s connected somehow) where you can buy rubber bands of different widths for more or less resistance. (Hint: if you buy 20 instead of 1, the price per unit goes down drastically.) Overall, this is a great book and a great method for getting in shape and staying in shape.

5 Stars the best exercise book I’ve seen
Simple, easy to follow, this book outlines some great at-home workouts. I was especially impressed with the “chair” exercises, important for me at this moment since I have a broken foot.

I not only would recommend it to all, I will buy many copies and give them as gifts to friends I know need exercise that is easy and fun to do.

3 Stars Nice package; Nice workout; But Rough Bands
I got this book to extend my rubber resistance training. It’s the only book on the topic I found at Amazon at the time. I was interested in the book but when it came and I saw the 2 small blue rubber bands attached, I was happy that it was an inclusive package. You didn’t have to go out to buy the exercise equipment now that you had the book. I tried out much of the exercises and they do feel good. However, the rubber band feels harsh in my hand after a while and I have to do the exercises with my exercise gloves so I don’t burn or chafe…

5 Stars sensible, useful book for beginners
Great book. The illustrations are clear and easy to see, and they make sense for a beginner. It stresses the importance of stretching, warmup, and aerobics, but its focus is on strength. I recommend thin gloves for using the rubber bands.

Time is at a premium for most people. So when it comes to working out and getting in shape the most time efficient and effective methods are the best (plus don’t we all want more results with less time spent trying to get them?).I met this guy, Chris Lopez, about 18 months ago and he is a living example of how you can get fit and lean even when you literally have 0 free time. Chris works 2 jobs, has 4 little kids, and has developed a training system that allows him to maintain 8% body fat year r
