I bought this book when I decided to start weight training. I had never done any weight training before so I needed a book that covered the basics. Maran Illustrated has proven a great choice.
The range of exercises is from easy to advanced so that you do not need to buy another book after you have learned the basics and are ready for something more challenging.
The photographs and explanations of each exercise are very clear and easy to follow. As the previous reveiwer has mentioned, there are also photographs of what NOT to do, which is important for everybody and for beginners - essential.
The book is suitable for those who go to a gym and for those who prefer to exercise at home. It also explains the advantages of both, home and gym.
It offers a range of exercises one can do while travelling.
I recommend this book to anybody who would like to start weight training; the book will also be useful for those who know the basics already.
