Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Schoenfeld, a personal trainer and the brawn and brains behind the Look Great Naked fitness aids (think book, videos, website), here assures women that "strength training is the fountain of youth," and that even those who've never touched a dumbbell can be on their way to better health in no time. Aimed at women over 35, this guide covers exercise's effects on physical and mental health; offers three different workouts prefaced by plenty of explanation and encouragement; gives sensible diet advice; and provides a one-week sample meal plan that's heavy on the greens (and the green tea). Schoenfeld chooses breadth over depth in parts of this slim guide, but his workouts-the core of the book-are clearly illustrated and easy to follow, and he includes enough mild-mannered but convincing evidence for the efficacy of strength training that only the truly inveterate aerobicist would doubt him. (Aerobic training is important, he says-just not quite as important as building up the muscles that will help burn the fat.) The subtitle promises a lot, but Schoenfeld gives his audience solid guidance along the road to increased fitness.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific program,
By Cynthia Berman (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look Great At Any Age (Mass Market Paperback)
Having never worked about before, I am so glad that I found this book. It is easy to follow and explains all the exercises in great detail. The best thing is that I do the workout at my house. I don't want to go to the gym and this makes it convenient and not intimadating.

Inspiring, but.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Look Great At Any Age (Mass Market Paperback)
The book is informative and inspiring, as well as a very simple presentation. However, it boasts that the exercises can be done at home, yet in at least half of the pictures, an exercise bench is being used. If you don't have one, it is rather difficult to improvise. I returned the book!
