The Concise Book of Muscles, Third Edition

This is great! I have a medical condition that has taught me more than I ever wanted to know about my muscles but not in a particularly accurate way. I decided it was time to try to put names to what I'm feeling and this book will allow me to do just that, as close as I can expect without a medical education anyway. Very pleased with it, and maybe it will even add to my healing. It gives just the right amount of knowledge--not overly detailed but definitely substantial enough to be very educational. Next time I see my massage therapist I will see if I can correlate what I've learned in the book to the muscles I feel.

I'm a personal trainer but didn't major in exercise science. This book has helped me tremendously. I knew only about the major muscle groups but didn't understand the purpose of their origins and insertions. Now when I train clients I teach them how to concentrate on which bones they need to move in order to flex the desired muscle.

I love this book, but I love the first edition so much more. Mainly due to the lay out of the information was better in the 1st edition. Also, the pages are higher quality than this edition. But the information written is sooo great!

great

Such a great book for ANYONE to use and follow. From adults in a medical field to kids learning about the body... all can benefit from this book. Great descriptions with even better diagrams.

This is a great book. Not heavy at all to carry around, but has a lot of detail. Very well organized and the illustrations are easy to understand. Broken down muscle by muscle with a lot of detail. Helpful for anyone interested in learning about muscles.

Really great if you're in Anatomy and Physiology I or need a refresher in an upper level course. Has good pictures of all the muscles and their origin, insertion and nerves.

I use this for yoga training courses and it is amazing! Very simple and layman friendly.
