Book Description
You've probably been dieting and exercising—or trying to—your entire life. You lose the weight; you gain it back. Or you lose most of the weight, but can't get those last stubborn 5 to 10 pounds to budge an inch. Or you exercise like mad, but still, the butt's a little saggy, the arm's a little flabby, and the belly's a little droopy. Why don't you have the body you always wanted? You may not know the real secrets of strength training and the magic of dumbbells. Judith Sherman-Wolin, exercise specialist at the UCLA Center for Nutrition, has developed a fast and easy dumbbell program that you can do at home and set up for less than it costs to go to a gym every month. You won't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (who wants to anyway?) but you will watch your butt shrink, your abs flatten, and your arm muscles lengthen and firm. Say "hello" to your bikini and all those sleeveless tops you dreaded wearing when the weather got too hot to stay covered.
All you need is the motivation, and this book will keep you psyched. In Smart Girls Do Dumbbells you'll learn:
- the complete 30-minute, 30-day, 30-way, start-to-finish program
- how to melt away those stubborn pounds you've been trying to lose your entire adult life
- how you can shape a body that burns more calories, even while you're plopped on the couch
- inexpensive ways to build your own dumbbell gym
- Judith's bonus ab-flattening recipes
Work out smarter, not harder. All it takes is 30 minutes for a leaner, healthier, sexier body!

Short on time? Pick up this book!,

This review is from: Smart Girls Do Dumbbells (Paperback)
I'm currently on day five of the 30 day routine Judith sets up in her book. I'm sore (which is a good thing) but happy! I'm working muscles I've never worked before, and I'm not feeling intimidated by pictures of giant Ahnold-type bodybuilders demonstrating the poses since Judith herself demonstrates each of the exercises. She gives detailed instructions so you can achieve proper technique and avoid injury. The abdominal exercises kick ass! The book is concise, clear and fun to read. This is the best women's weight-lifting book I've ever read.

I LOVE this book!,
By Ann (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Girls Do Dumbbells (Paperback)
The summer months are approaching and I've tried almost everything to keep myself looking fit without having to commit to a time-consuming workout regimen. With other fitness plans, I couldn't take all the time out of my day necessary to achieve the results I wanted. Until I found this book! This book is the answer to all of my fitness needs. The workouts are easy to understand, fun to do, and take almost no time at all...best of all, the results are stellar! This book is a GREAT addition to any home. It's also adorable and a great gift to give to your best girl friends!

Feeling the BURN,
By Jordan (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Girls Do Dumbbells (Paperback)
This book is no gimic! No fad dieting, no quickie promises. I love the honesty in this book. I have been doing Smart Girls for two weeks now and after the 3rd day, I was already feeling my muscles burn. I started with 5 pound weights and I have already started using 8lbs for the tricep excercises. My favorite part of Smart Girls is the variety! Because you are doing different excercises everyday, there is no room for boredom. I wake up and I can not wait to see what I am doing that day! The recipes are so easy to follow. This book is for long term and permanent weight loss and toning!!
