I was going to admit that I am a bit late to post a review on exercises books but then again I was reminded that it is never too late to take good habits and try to become healthier. So even though we are not the beginning of the year (but we are very close indeed), I think it is the perfect time to check out some interesting titles that DK Canada has to offer for anyone who desire to become more active in 2016.
I also started to move more in our home. We have an elliptical machine and a treadmill. Let me tell you that both are being used quite often every week. But doing cardio is not enough and having good books to help you develop your muscles could help. I was able to received numerous titles to present you – many for women but one it specifically for men.
Without any delay, let’s check the books.

The book contains numerous exercises for cardio, upper body, lower body and core in order to allow you to be in a better shape. My only problem with the book is that all the women showing how to do the exercises are already all slimmed and toned. I find it a bit discouraging to see this since I doubt I would ever be like them…
