A Very Comprehensive Weight Training Book
This a wonderful volume for the beginning weight-trainer or for anyone looking to bust through exercise plateaus. The book starts off with several chapters containing tips, motivation, and useful information pertaining to weight-training including the comment that got me hooked on weight-training in the first place. (My favorite comment is when Kathy mentions the ridiculousness of people who recommend that women begin weight-training with cans of soup.) This volume contains three different levels of workout, each with its own combination of exercises. Each exercise has its own double-page spread with one page featuring photographs illustrating the motion and the opposite page featuring detailed instructions for the movement. The back of the book contains an exercise log to keep you at the top of your game and provide a handy reference to the exercises you will be doing. Several stretches are illustrated in the volume as well and will be the perfect complement to your routines. A Top-Notch Book.
excellent
I found this book to be very helpful! I loved it. I have been exercising for many years using at home videos. I actually like this book more then some of the Kathy Smith Videos I have used! I wanted to get more involved with working out with weights now that I am in my 40's. The book covers the benefits of working out with weights, nutrition and covers lots of different exercises for each muscle group.(proper form is covered and explained in detail) for the entire body along with a suggested schedule or routine for each week. I have been very happy with the routines and do them entirely at home and have seen great results.
Fresh Start
I had weight trained several years ago with good results but a bad fall down a flight of stairs led me in a different direction and I after gaining weight and loosing muscle I need to start again. This was an excellent fresh start for me. I saw results in just a few weeks and feel stronger and healthier and have now moved on to more serious weight training once again.
Kathy's book is very easy to follow and had very clear direction. Her training advice is sound and her guide to technique was excellent. Her eating plan is sensible and easy to follow and I found no problem working it into my day to day lifestyle. The amount of time spend training each week is very reasonable.A great book for beginners or people who want a FRESH START
Also a very reasonably priced book.
