Review: I found Men's Health Big Book of Exercise to be a great help. I am coming from a practical angle - the sport and nutrition science discussed in other reviews goes straight over my head. My starting point was: middle aged, overweight and confused what to do. I went to the gym 6 month prior to buying the book 3 times a week doing only cardio: rowing, x-trainer, stepper, crunches, etc. That lost me about 6 kg (1 stone) and I got stuck. When I read the Men's Health Big Book of Exercises advice "you need to do weights" I was really sceptical. However, I followed the (excellent) workout plans in the back of the book and my weight loss got moving again - about 4.5 kg IN A MONTH. This will obviously slow down, but their advice was spot on for me. I would look at the book as a "beginners to intermediate" guide, written in plain layman's language the average (and not obsessed) man can actually understand. As all sports books, I recommend to read the summary, do the trial and error thing and reread the chapters properly once you start getting the hang of it. Personally, I am very grateful to Men's Health for having published the book, which has really met my needs.

Review: I was excited to get this book, very colourful and large. However, compared to other books the description of each exercise is minimal relying mainly on pictures and there is very little advice on keeping safe during the movement. And I know it’s a big book on exercises, but perhaps there are too many - each section has a “main move” and then several pages of variations of the main one which gets boring and doubt anyone will ever do. This book could have been cut in half focusing more detail on just the basic prime exercises.
