Title: I should NOT have listened
Review: I listened to the vast majority of reviewers who recommended this book. Now I am $30 short, and have little to show for it. This book is a basic beginner's guide to exercise, nothing more, nothing less. Matt Furey started the bodyweight exercise craze, and now Peterson is riding his coat tails, even naming exercises after him. Peterson's book is useful to the complete beginner. The beginner will enjoy the book because he can perform the exercises. Anyone with prior training experience will not find anything new from this book. This book is just like most of today's training programs. It is simply repackaged information from past authors. There are much more useful training programs available. It's about time that we judged books based on useful content. This book does not contain any new ideas. The production quality is great, but that is irrelevant when reviewing a book's content.
Is the review positive or negative?
