4.0 out of 5 stars helpful, but flawed layout, Jan 4 2002
By A Customer
I found this to be a helpful overview of weight training for women, but my major criticism is the shabby job of coordinating the layout of text and drawings. Most of the drawings demonstrating an exercise are not put on the same page as the text description of that movement! A major drawback to an exercise book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for safe, effective weight training., Oct 13 1996
By A Customer
I have examined a number of books on this topic, and found them wanting; in this small volume I found precisely the information I needed. The Fahey/Hutchinson book shows exercises for Nautilus and Universal Machines, and free weights as well. It is organized by regions of the body; for each exercise, the muscle group to be focussed upon is depicted by a line drawing, helping the trainee to visualize the region. The final chapter relates the important topics of diet and exercise in rather summary fashion, but as in every chapter, references are given for periodical articles and books on the subject. I would have liked a chapter on stretching, and how weight training might fit into an overall exercise program, and how exercise and aging interact. But those are minor quibbles; this book gives clear and safe instruction for the woman who wants weight training to be a part of her life for reasons of health and appearance
