Fitness Routines at Home review
A $17.99 ebook of home workouts for three levels, credited to a doctor with a PhD in Workout Psychology.
Pass
The contents are what a home-workout guide should contain, and the three levels are useful. The weakness is the same as with every written workout guide: without demonstrations, form is hard to learn, and free video programmes from qualified trainers are everywhere. The co-author's PhD in Workout Psychology is an invented field that the seller attaches to five co-authors in this batch alone, and no trainer certification is claimed.

Three levels, little equipment
Routines for beginners to advanced, short sessions and mobility work.
No illustrations are mentioned.
Five doctors of Workout Psychology
The same invented field appears on five fitness titles in this batch, each with a different doctor.
No coaching certification is named.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Pearl Davids with a PhD in Workout Psychology and 19 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 326900+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.

The bottom line
The contents are what a home-workout guide should contain, and the three levels are useful. The weakness is the same as with every written workout guide: without demonstrations, form is hard to learn, and free video programmes from qualified trainers are everywhere. The co-author's PhD in Workout Psychology is an invented field that the seller attaches to five co-authors in this batch alone, and no trainer certification is claimed.
