Exercise book - NOT just a puzzle book.  Great for training.

This is an excellent book for training.  What I like most is the completely randomness of the exercises.  You don't have any clue except which side moves.

On the same page you may have an exercise where you need to find a simple fork, but the next one may require to find a positional pawn sacrifice just to gain an outpost to your knight, and the following one indentify a move to parry a threat, and so on.

Exercises about openings, middle game and endgame.  From easy to hard.  Tactics and strategy.  All mixed up.  Because of this feature you will need to really analyze each position.  Just as a real game.

An the solution to the exercises are very well explained.  The author does not give only the moves, but explains the concept behind each exercise.  There is really a learning after reading each solution.

The descriptions in the book on how to do each exercise are excellent. There are three parts to the book. The first section has information on developing your training program like increasing intensity, preventing injury, keeping a workout notebook and more.

The middle section has the actual exercises. Both drawn illustrations and photographs of people doing the exercise are used. I like they include the photographs. The illustrations are nice to see the muscles involved. The final section that helped me was sample programs for beginners, advanced and circuit training.

For a person who knew she wanted to lift weights to build strenght but had no idea what she was doing or how to do it correctly, this book has really helped.

Love the large variety of exercises. Framed it so I can easily glance at it for the next exercise. I can carry it outside easily also when I use the TRX outside.

Great excercises that can be interchanged for numerous workout possibilities.  I would highly suggest this title if you are interested in building functional strength.  Don't bother if you are just interested in a body builder look; this isn't about just getting the ripped look.

It is especially helpful because there are no additional weights or equipment necessary which makes it great for the traveler.

This is a great exercise book for ESL students. Often the beginners have trouble understanding and answering questions and this book is a great resource to have on hand. It can even be used for time filler conversation and it teaches staged conversations.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book of word search.  I like the idea that the puzzles are not in categories. Example: colors, cities, animals, etc.  when puzzles are in categories its not quite as challenging compared to just going by a list like in this book.  I like this type of puzzle better.

This is a great learning tool. Not only does it provide multiple examples of these idioms in English sentences, it also has fill in the blanks and crosswords to help you learn how to use them. These exercises and the CD make the book stick out (look, an idiom). This means you see the idioms, you hear them, and you practice using them. Im glad theres a second book to this one.

I wish more books were formatted this way. Learn a concept, immediately put it into practice. There's no better way to learn and retain new concepts then that. Easy to give this five stars.

Also very clever of the author to ask you to leave a review and leave a link right there in the exercise. Game recognize game.

My son is about to enter the second grade, I got this book for his to work on during the summer vacation. The book provide plenty of exercise for the grammer, spelling and vocabulary. They are also fun to work on, with all varieties of challenges. Only negative is that some leaves fell out of the book, indicating that the book is not bound well.

I found the suggestions, tips and exercises in this book very helpful for practicing the piano but these things can be used for other areas where you are learning any skill. Very creative. Recommended.

I am a trainer and love this book for inspiration to build workouts. The workouts in this book do not include warms ups or cool downs.

This is a great book for children learning to play chess.  I have a 7 and a 4 year old.  The tests in the book keeps my 7 year old motivated to learn the lessons and earn "points" (That's how the book structures it).  My 4 year old isn't old enough for the in-depth lessons, but is captured by the cartooned portions of the book as he learns basic names and moves.  My 7 y/o will likely continue to learn strategy from this book for several months as he practices what he learns.  All in all this is a great book that will help them advance over at least a year, if not more if they are younger.  I recommend it.

I like the book content and the ability to pace the training for younger and adult students.  They can see how they are doing and they can seek help when needed as they go. Overal a good training book.

This book is full of great ideas for training and presenting.
I highly recommend it. Discussed adult learning, and gives activities and games to conduct with your audience to keep them engaged.

This is a great game/training item.  I really enjoy the different training sets it selects for me - have no trouble making time for it every day.  I have just been at it about a month and can already see favorable results.  Recommended highly.

The book is great for training dogs.  Simple instructions for teaching basic obedience commands.  It works.

I started playing cello as an adult and have had only one lesson so far. I have always been frustrated by the lesson books with short exercises that make no practical sense. This is broken down into specific training exercises that support every few bars of music. Love the cross-string, agility and position training. Much more practical and useful than the exercises in the traditional student books, such as EEI, for ex, not just for playing the specific piece. So glad I got this. If I ever finish it, I will def get another!
