Excellent Resource

I am studying to be a personal trainer and have found this book to be an excellent resource and companion book to ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. Where as the above mentioned book is full of important information, it is very dry reading, and Exercise Perscription gives many case study approaches that bring the often dry material of ACSM's book to life. I would say that your best bet is to purchase both of these books together and use them often. Together, they make an excellent study resource.
