Great book - easy to read, understand January 31, 2010

I teach a fitness class for women over 50 and although this is not targeted to that age group specifically, many of the exercises parallel what we teach and passing the book around class and showing the women what muscle groups are being worked has help to motivate our group.

This book really helps me see my body, and work the muscles I need to in the gym. The pictures are great, the instructions clear, and the exercises chosen are safe, fun and effective.
It also helped me get much more out of the services of a professional trainer. I read ahead and knew what I wanted to work on, had practiced the exercises, and knew how they felt. The trainer then could add his broad knowledge and experience to my program. I've had a lot of injuries, and so I needed to be cautious about being pushed. This book helped me have the clarity to ask for what I needed and work out in a way that is safe for me.
It's a great supplement to an Anatomy and Physiology class. Why not visualize and feel in your own body what you are learning in class?

Worth every penny. You learn the correct way & can reproduce it at the gym. It's easy, it's well put together & I take it w/me to the gym.
Every woman should read this before attempting w/o a trainer. It's also nice to show your trainer when he is doing it all wrong, LOL

The book provides useful tips, variations on exercises and detailed instructions.
The illustrations are clear and detailed, highlighting the targeted muscles for the specific exercise.
There's even a step-by-step program suited for your body. I have not used it (I just got mine!) but I will look into it later.
Perfect for women who train! February 21, 2009
