Delavier's Core Training Anatomy

I purchased the original strength training anatomy years ago. It was such a great training guide, I handed out numerous copies to friends in the gym. I am not a bodybuilder, but a triathlete. This book was truly an asset in competing. I purchased this newer book and it is a great compliment to the strength training anatomy book. This is the two best books on the market for anyone serious about their training and health. Already tweaked some routines for core strength and have realized results.

I am 61 years young and have been a Personal Trainer since 2009. Books like this give a complete and comprehensive Step By Step way to a Life long solid Core. Forget Fads like Crossfit etc.......this book has superb diagrams, photos, and explanations to with reasons why the body needs the core to enhance All other physical activities. My clients and I spend months first developing a Core Before we proceed to Bodysculpting or their sport specific needs. Do what this book says with discipline and consistency and you will get safe, long lasting Results.

The art is great and I can even use this book to study for anatomy it is so detailed. I love it. Great for helping you visualize what muscles you use in workouts. Great information. And the pictures are just fun to look at.

Book is very comprehensive. Descriptions of exercises are concise and easy to understand. Variations of each exercise are usually given too. Best part is the illustrations which are clear. Not only illustrations of the exercises, but also of which muscles (by name) are being worked by that particular exercise. Get the Strength Training Anatomy book too and you will have everthing you need (though there is some overlap in the two books.

This is my third Delavier book, the others being Vols. I & III of Strength Training Anatomy. Both of those books were extremely helpful in isolating muscle groups and pointing out specific exercises to improve those individual groups. "Core Training" is also very instructive and of substantial benefit in noting areas that need isolated emphasis, although I felt the book was less important than the Strength Training predecessors. I gave it four stars, although it's probably worth 4.5, and well worth the price and the addition to one's armamentarium, but nevertheless slightly less than the top step. Ralph L.

This book only tell you how to do ur abs in type words, it also has pictures. Very easy to understand what u r doing. It starts letting you know what the basic stuff about abs, something like the type of fat around ur abs， blah blah blah. And then once you know what kind of body type u have, then you can find your body type of abs workout. It has a lot to offer, I highly recommend this book, it's very helpful.

Im in school to become a personal trainer and this book is amazing its precise and exact on the money. The pictures and drawings of the muscles the details are astonishing. Its a must have for any aspiring Personal trainers!!! The writing of how to do the work outs are to a T they're perfect , The way he suggests to create a core work out plan is on the money! You wont find a better book than these.

LOVED THE DEMONSTRATIONS, AND INSTRUCTIONS AND THE HIGHLIGHTED MUSCLES BEING USED. ALL AROUND GREAT CHOICE SINCE THERE IS SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.

I brought this as I suffer with a bad lower back and a physio said I needed to strengthen my core to help with this. So brought this to help know what exercises I need to do and correct form so I don't hurt myself. This book is very clear and alot of detailed illustrations. I would recommend this for anyone looking for more knowledge and begginers for training in or out of the gym.

Good
