Biomechanics of Your Body: A Simplified Way to learn Human Movement and Muscles by Tracy L. Markley

My Review: 

​This book is great for anyone wanting to know more about your body and how it works. The illustrations are colorful and well-labeled, and the text was easy to understand. As someone who took anatomy in college and did NOT do well, I really wished I had a book like this to help me out. 

It also teaches how to strengthen those muscles and take care of them. 

But the best part is the section with definitions. It's always my favorite area when it comes to these types of books, especially since it helps refresh my memory of what I just read. 

Loved and highly recommend this book. Great and easy read!

Summary: 

Biomechanics of Your Body, A Simplified Way to Learn Human Movement and Muscles easily teaches where a muscle attaches and what movements that muscle performs. Whether you are reaching out to learn more about muscles and movements of the human body for yourself, a class, or your profession, this book is for you. Knowledge is power. The more you know about your own body the better you can take care of it and make it stronger at any age. This book will answer many questions such as:

• What are the names of the muscles on the human body?
• What muscles perform which movements?
• What muscles extend the hand?
• What muscles abduct the hips?
• How many bones are in the human body?
• My doctor said I need to strengthen my core. What are my core muscles?
• What is fascia?

And more…

This book is for kids to seniors. At any age, the human body needs to be strengthened safely for everyday activities and sports. The better we understand what muscles participate in what movements, the better we can apply the knowledge personally and professionally.

The human body has many more muscles than what is usually taught in basic anatomy sections of most physical education, fitness & exercise classes, and certification courses. This book is a great reference to keep around at home or any location where physical movement is being practiced or rehabilitated.

This book includes a chapter with definitions of movement and action names used in kinesiology, biomechanics, and anatomy teachings.
