    HELP! Need a detailed physical workout book - similar to BodyBoss but lower intensity

    I tried making my own workout book consisting of yoga, pilates, resistance, bodyweight, and weight training exercises but when it came time to work out, it was a fail because I didn't have a visual of how to set up and execute the exercises and the instructions for the exercises that I found online and wrote down didn't do a great job of explaining them for me personally either. Someone might say "oh, just look them up online again and see how they're done before doing them." No. I want to work out first thing in the morning before I go on my computer or phone or any other electronic device because I want to start my day on a positive note and I want to be able to do the workouts straight from a book that has them both visually and instructively explained well and easy to follow.

    Something similar to BodyBoss' fitness guide would be ideal, but with lower intensity workouts like yoga, pilates, weight training, bodyweight, and resistance (a combination of these would be ideal but not a deal breaker) because I'm trying to improve my fatigue and energy levels and repair my hormones rather than losing weight or gaining muscles.

    Anyone able to help out here with some suggestions?

    No book is going to have all of that.

    You could look up the exercises the night before

    or

    make your own book with screen shots of the exercises

    The BodyBoss book does:

    https ://www .bodyboss. com/products/ultimate-body-fitness-guide

    The only thing is their exercises are HIIT, I need lower intensity exercises.

    Stronlifts 5*5 (Google it) has a free app, but is so simple you can lookup the night before if you don't want to use phone in morning and website with explanations, video tutorials, FAQ, etc etc, its a good way to get started. Progress to Fierce5 etc after a few months (maybe 3-6) of stronglifts, as by then you'll have more knowledge and experience. Also it's Free!

    You're doing it wrong.

    But try this

    https://smile.amazon.com/Starting-St...0666289&sr=8-1

    To to a pilates forum and yoga forum to ask them for book recommendations. Bring your pile of books to the gym, don't forget all the bookmarks. Sounds like fun.
