Not what I expected
Yes, this book is informative and helpful, but it’s not exactly what I had been thinking it would be.

Good book for beginners.
I think this book is good for people who are new to exercising. I know it’s a “Dummies” book, but it had too much basic information for me. I ended up returning it.
