Step by step

This book is very good for beginner's I thought. I have just expressed an interest in weight lifting and training. I was very confused as what type of schedule to do and how to do it. I got this book, and I'm starting their requested routines. There are plans as to how to do it and what muscle group it works. The only negative aspect is that I don't have all the equipment it shows, so many excercises can not be achieved, unless at a gym.
