Health and fitness expert Pat Manocchia gives readers the tools they need to embark on a journey of fitness and health, from basic movements to information on how to build a complete exercise plan. With step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow illustrations of starting positions and movement paths, it's like having your very own personal trainer. Learn what to do and what not to do.

Anatomy of Strength Training brings a new dimension to workouts, helping readers target every problem area--and helping them stay on the path to health and fitness.…
