freestyle book worth it?

[winsomehill]

I've been reading all these wonderful things about freestyle training, and I'm wanting to get started. But....Wow the Snyder book is $40! Is it worth that? Also, I read on amazon.com that Laura Dayton's book is for people who workout in a gym, is that true?
Thanks,
Heather

Trust me, the book is worth it. There are ways to do any exercise at home and not need a gym. Another book that I have purchased is Getting Stronger by Bill Pearl. He shows you like 8 different ways to work each muscle (ie:the tricep (at home and in the gym)). You mentioned "Laura Daytons book", are you talking about Lower Body Solution"? Freestyle Training was put out by Laura Dayton and Gene Snyder. Also check out www.shapefit.com on how to perform exercises. I liked what I saw there.

I did not think Laura Dayton's book was worth it at all. It was very outdated (1980's models and clothese) IMHO and also tried to push certain products. I gave mine away to someone else on this board.

As a matter of fact, when I received the book in the mail I felt I'd been had.

I bought the book by Snyder and have to say that it was well worth it. I have incorporated freestyle in my workouts for the past month and am very happy with the results so far!
