You might take a look at the book above, by Frederic Delavier, on amazon.com. It might be a starting point?

You might browse Amazon or Borders equivalent to see if they sell textbooks/workbooks marketed to personal trainers and physical therapists, these are the exact sort of books you need. These books may then list a whole slew of online resources. Do you know or can you consult any pts?

Hi Clare!
(Aren't you glad my thread is all about FITNESS
)
I will most certainly be getting a textbook for reference. I just completed my PT course, but we were not supplied with the text, just a binder that the instructor had put together from all the overheads she was presenting. I do have a some other reference materials from both the Fitness Knowledge and Weight Trainer courses I took, but the pictures are mostly anatomical (hope I spelled that right) and don't show people performing exercises.
My instructor directed me to ptonline.com, however, this website charges a fee, and as I don't have any clients yet, I was hoping to find something for free LOL! I was sure that some of the pts on this forum would be able to point out some online stuff that they had found.
Are you a pt?

Hi Corrie-
I'm not a PT, but one site that I love and its free is www.bodybuilding.com
Its got a whole section on how to perform exercises for each bodypart. While alot of the site is dedicated to people who are really hardcore bodybuilders, there is a ton of info there and the exercises for each bodypart looks to be pretty solid.
Take care, Lynn M.
