Best Fitness Book
Hi Martina,
you leave the question very open because you did not specify the sort of beginner you have in mind. Since you are here at the IDEA web site, I assume that you are more than a lay person looking for exercise advice.
Obviously, you have already noticed that there are enough fitness books out there, some generic, others highly specialized. A lot of those books are also hyping one way of doing things at the expense of balances and safety.
I would suggest to read a book like the ACE Personal Trainer Manual which you can purchase from a source like Amazon http://www.amazon.com/ACE-Personal-Trainer-Manual-Professionals/dp/18907…. Those manuals are not page-turners but they provide you with excellent advice while giving good rationale.
Hope this helps.
