Melody Murray's Books

I'm giving it two stars purely out of prejudice. I think that some of the exercises Reno recommends are dangerous, especially for people just starting out (step away from the Smith Machine, people, seriously) and some of the advice is just plain goofy (if you think you have big thighs already, don't do squats) and some of the advice is dangerous (wear a weightlifting belt).That being said, there's some valuable stuff here. The photographs are clear and beautiful, the explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the philosophy behind the book is excellent (strong women are healthy).
