Hot Point Fitness : The Revolutionary New Program for Fast and Total Body Transformation
Steve Zim, Mark Laska

I'm a real fitness buff. And I just finished reading a new book we got it's called "Hot Point Fitness." They're about 100 new exercises based on MRI's and infrared testing. Jan Issue of Self-Magazine's cover story pg.90-96, feature's this book. I just thought you might want to know what's new in fitness. Out of Los Angeles.

My Exercise Book Recommendation:

The Weider System of Bodybuilding
by Joe Weider, Bill Reynolds

This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in weight training. It's ideal not only for novice to experienced bodybuilders, but also for men and women simply interested in stregthening and toning their bodies and incorporating weight training excercises into their fitness routines. The book is divided into two sections. The first section describes different training principles and techniques. The second section lists by chapter the many different weight training exercises available for each muscle group. Each chapter begins with a photo of a bodybuilder and the anatomy of the particular muscle group that will be discussed followed by detailed instructions on how to carry out particular exercises. This is done through photos and clear and concise descriptions of each exercise broken down into the following headings: main area of emphasis, method of performance, variations and training tips. What I really like about this book is that there are a lot of different and varied exercises in this book which helps to keep your weight training workouts interesting and varied. There is also a superb abdominal section and expert advice and opinions from bodybuilders are provided throughout the book. I guarantee that this book will be read, re-read and referenced for years to come.
