Very informative, good exercise plans, Aug 5 2004

This review is from: Weight-Bearing Workouts for Women: Weight-Bearing Exercises for Toning, Shaping and Strengthening (Paperback)
This book gives excellent back-ground information as to the 'why' of weight-bearing exercises for women. Anyone who wasn't convinced before they read this book will be convinced after they read it. The book says on the cover that you will need 3-8 lb. weights, but actually you will need a dyna-band, a body-bar, and a large ball in addition to the weights. Three programs are given in the book - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The exercises are challenging according to the level they are designated for. I like the exercises in this book and am using this book in addition to Smart Girls Do Dumbbells, Pilates exercises, and daily walking. This book offers a good program on it's own, or as an addition to other exercises you may already be doing.

This review is from: Weight-Bearing Workouts for Women: Weight-Bearing Exercises for Toning, Shaping and Strengthening (Paperback)
This book doesn't appear to have been edited well ... there are grammatical errors and label errors, as though there was a rush to the printers. The photos are rather dark. However, on the plus side, the fitness models show good form on almost every page. The workouts actualy appear to be minimal workouts ... the author claims you can do the workout in 30 minutes ... it seems it would be much less at least for the beginner and intermediate stages, given you only do 1-2 sets for only a few exercises per day. I don't believe most would progress very far using these plans, or rather, you'd progress to the advanced stage very quickly or become discouraged from the lack of improvement in your physique. In addition, the book fell apart in less than a week ... the pages fell out ... I'll use them to post on my workout wall. Poor quality production IMO.
Listmania!
