This is the kind of book for all gym lovers and ladies especially who can do it at home without major gym machines.

Rating: - Another 5 star review
This is a great entry or re-entry level book. I used it summer before last to prepare for a camping trip. At the time (alas) I had decent cardiovascular fitness but knew I wanted to improve upper body strength along with core and lower body fitness. I created a work out I could enjoy.

Rating:  - Not a good strength training book!
I was shocked to see that this book got such high reviews. I found it to be extremely lacking. I suppose it might be alright for a woman whose never lifted a weight in her life, but for anyone serious about weight training, this book will not help you. I highly recommend Strength Training Anatomy (not the women's version). I use now use that book to formulate all my strength routines.

I use it in conjunction with a weight training workout CD (Denise Austin) so that I really understand the best way to make my workout successful and the time well spent. This ... Read More
