Anatomy of Core Stability: A Trainer's Guide to Core Stability

Review Anatomy of Core Stability by Hollis Lance is easy to read. The information is complete and usefully presented. I especially like having the models pictured beside the diagrams so surface anatomy can often be correlated with muscular anatomy. The models look like fit average people, not body builders or hulks so we can compare to ourselves. My only suggestion would be speedos rather than long shorts so more surface anatomy, especially thighs and lower abs could be seen.The pictures and diagrams are large and clear and surprisingly uncluttered for anatomy drawings. The text, is informative without being pedantic. Also the text is sparse and helpful, mostly consisting of brief comments as to level, time to complete, benefits, restrictions and in some cases modifications possible. The exercises included, while not encyclopedic, are complete enough. There are some suggested workouts or collections of exercises with specific goals given at the end which look good.This a good buy in the rash of "anatomy" books coming out now.

This is a very well written and very well illustrated book on core stability. Don't hesitate to get it if you want to develop your core. It helped me with my back pains.

You won’t be disappointed

This is a good book full of exercises and stretches (not to mention the photos of the models...). Not having been much of a "stretcher," I came away from my first sessions rather achy (but in a good way). I do exercise (weights) but have never really stretched much. But I now see how important it is.

I LOVE this book. very organized with a great layout. The illustration for the target areas is awesome for helping with my studies.

Haven't tried the exercises yet. They are most comprehensive, clear and informative.

Outstanding guide.

Good diagrams! Will be a great tool to go along with my physical therapy and after! However check with your trainer or therapist to make sure the exercises you think might be good for you with your therapist or trainer to see if the ones you think will help don't actually hurt you. Start slow with anything!

Good and relevant book

Thank you so much! Is brilliant book, and Is like new. Also is for 3 levels: for beginners advanced and intermediate. There are workout plans in the end. Very useful!!

Straightforward book that shows the muscles used when doing different core exercises.
