Healthier bodies with home exercises

As a physician I found Ken Sprague's book on weight training to be an excellent, no nonsense primer for adults of all ages to achieve body-shaping and strengthening on bones and muscles by regular exercise using cross-training and light weights. The book is nicely illustrated, rarely using duplicate photos, in the proper use of barbells and dumbbells for home use. Safety is emphasized and though use of gloves is encouraged they are not shown in illustrations but this does make the correct hand positions easier to depict. A concise chapter on nutrition is well written, emphasizing importance of balanced nutrition and discouraging the use of amino-acid supplements and megadose vitamin intake as expensive and/or potentially harmful. The non-necessity of having to use heavy gym equipment and motorized devices is appealing. The introductory history of Gold's gym is of especial interest to those acquainted with Venice Beach, CA where Gold's gym began and is ever more popular. Written by an expert, Sprague was original owner-operator of Gold's Gyms. He has given us a useful book of trusted information which includes discussion of reps, sets, and frequency for optimum muscle development. The book is suitable for use by the ever increasing ederly population which has so much to gain as they live longer.
