Professor Lon Kilgore's experiences, education, and perspectives, developed from nearly fifty years working with beginning trainees to those with the very highest levels of fitness, come together to create a uniquely direct resource of words and images that makes the learning of practical anatomy approachable to anyone with an interest in making people more fit. This restructured and rebuilt second edition features new and revised illustrations throughout, added sections and clarifications, and new references and resources to aid in your continued study. In the first section of the book, the basic principles of anthropometry and anatomy, as they apply to doing and teaching exercise, are laid out.
