The 2 loomis anatomy books are ok if you're a complete beginner, personally I like the hampton method, he gives you a step by step way of doing things that once you incorporate it complete changes the way you approach drawing bodies, it goes something like

Gesture

Connections/movable masses

Landmarks

Perspective

Anatomy

Then there's bridgman but don't just mindlessly copy him, try to do this

copy, then look up reference that matches what you copied, understand how the shapes bridgman gives you work and move once the body twists.

Krenz has some good stuff too, he's excellent for understanding simple shapes in perspective, I'd recommend getting down his anatomical model right before trying to move into any sort of deatil.

And the most important aspect, study from life, copy real people, watch closely how they move, how weight balances, every person you see is a moving reference sheet, train your eye too see this things.

Just to give you an idea this is the kind of stuff I did before I started taking practice seriously, I'd do hunderds and never understand why they were wrong.
