4 Stars Good book, could use some tuning, but overall good
I would’ve given this 3 1/2 stars although that is not an option (so i rounded up). First let me state that I think this is a great book. The writers provide excellent information and pictures so that a user can do the exercises with ease. They also provide good information to help the user to try to create a program that will help them fulfill their needs.
There were a couple of things that I think the author could’ve improved upon. First, as another reviewer mentioned, they do not tell you the page numbers of the exercises in the end of the book (program section). When creating your program, it takes 3x as long to look up each individual exercise. Second, I did not like that they did not include what muscle (s) or groups were being worked out in each exercise. Granted the writers put the exercises under vague headings like Chest, arm, legs, etc. but they do not tell you specifics like biceps, traps, rear delts… like every other exercise book does. Lastly, I think the writers should have had several sample exercise plans that each cater to one’s specific goals.
If they revise this book and incorporate some of these suggestions, then this book would definitely be 5 stars.
4 Stars Pretty good book
I bought this book for my dad. Its pretty helpful, though I think the pictures could be a bit more detailed. But my dad loves the book. It has a good selection of resistance band exercises!
4 Stars Great book for those who want exercises for the resistance band at home
I didn’t buy this through Amazon. But I thought it was a great book. Many more uses for the band than most books. It discusses stretching, rest periods for the muscles, etc. It is divided into groups of exercises for each of the major muscle groups. Off-hand, I can recall it has exercises for arms, shoulders, chest, trunk and abs, legs, hips, thighs and buttocks. That’s great for targetting. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the workouts in the back don’t refer to the page the exercise is on so I constantly have to go back to look for them and then do them. I still haven’t found one of them yet, lol. But all in all, it did have more excersises for the bands for each muscle group than any of the other books I have so far.
5 Stars An excellent primer.
The Resistance Band Workout Book advocates workout routines using the resistance band - and reinforces theory with almost a hundred exercises using this accessory. The blend of general workouts and sports-specific, goal-oriented exercises comes with illustrations and makes for an excellent primer.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Horribly bad value for the money.
As others have stated, this book is sparse on content and a hideous value for the price. Spend an extra $15 and get John Peterson’s Isometric Power Revolution: Mastering the Secrets of Lifelong Strength, Health, and Youthful Vitality. Its nearly 300 pages of information on isometrics, which makes it about 8 times the value this thing is.
1 Star Energizing Isometrics:
If I could have rated this book a ZERO, I would have. I completely wasted
my time and money. It should be a waste for Amazon, too.
1 Star This is a ripoff!
I can’t believe they charged me $13.50 for this book! This whole thing could not have cost more than $1.50 to produce.
5 Stars EVERYTHING IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE !
Do not be deceived by those people who feel a large volume is needed to covey knowledge.
I have personally used this workout too gain 50+ # on the bench alone! You do not have too jump and wiggle for hours too be fit and strong ; consider this the basic workout and add from there!
Be advised this workout and hiking is all I do and I can bench over 300 easily!
Isometrics are proven and no exercise will build more strength for time spent!
With a few added isometrics you can find easily on the web this will take more than 5min less than 15!
5 Stars Great Booklet
This booklet is excellent for learning about a very unique and helpful 5 minute workout. Results are great in a short period of time. I highly recommend it for anyone on the go!
