N2  - The only book to demonstrate all muscle actions for 
       exercises, with flexible workout programmes and over half 
       the exercises adapted for home training. Discover the hard
       science needed to perfect each exercise and build your 
       strongest body - at home or in the gym. Whether you are 
       looking to tone and sculpt your body, lose weight, give 
       yourself an edge in another sport, support bone strength, 
       or simply improve posture, strength training can help you 
       achieve your goals. With unique CGI artworks, this book 
       gets under the skin of more than 100 exercises, to 
       identify every muscle worked and show how they engage at 
       every stage, so you can feel you’re getting it right - 
       safely and with maximum benefit. Follow flexible workout 
       programmes that target a range of abilities and aims. 
       Understand the physiology behind how to build and maintain
       muscle mass, raise metabolism, and reduce body fat. Apply 
       in-depth dietary advice to maintain a healthy, balanced 
       diet that supports muscle building, including for vegans. 
       How The Book Works The first section - human physiology - 
       introduces you to the wonder that is skeletal muscle and 
       the mechanisms that underpin strength training’s demands 
       on the body. It will help you understand how muscles work 
       and grow, and how the resistance work stimulates muscles 
       to develop strength and size, alongside its positive 
       impacts on bones and connective tissue. It also explains 
       how the body powers muscular work and shows you how to 
       calculate your own daily macronutrient requirements. 
       Lastly, you’re given an overview of the benefits to the 
       brain, and the crucial role it plays in attitude and 
       mental health. The second section - strength exercises - 
       is devoted to a comprehensive collection of strength 
       training exercises to perform, along with many variations 
       offered to compliment your available training equipment, 
       personal preferences, and level of challenge - at home or 
       in the gym.
