101 Workouts for Women: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong, and Fit Physique

I've been using this book for the last 11 weeks and I am so happy with it . I've always been into fitness and have been a runner for many years, but despite my hard work I have never acheived the overall toned look I wanted simply because I lacked the know how. Well, I just had my 3rd baby 3 1/2 months ago and let me tell you, I am so pleased with the results. Granted I still have a ways to go, but I feel strong and look pretty good. If you combine this book with cardio as it suggests, I just don't see how you can go wrong. What a great book!

I agree somewhat with the previous reviews except YOU DON'T NEED TO JOIN A GYM! Did you know that if you have exercise bands the kind with handles you can duplicate almost if not all the exercises done on gym equipment. I am fortunate to have a Precor 3-2-1 and have found a new love for working out on it at home. But I also have exercise bands and like to use them as well so the book is a win, win for me. When a band feels to easy, just buy the next heavier one or make the band tighter. The other great thing about this book, is they give a sample work out week, such as, Mon: chest and triceps, Tues: Legs, Wed: off, Thurs: Back and Biceps and Friday: Shoulders and Abs. The book is not just body parts they also have 8 to 12 week plans. As you can tell I really like this book, if you have felt disappointed in other weight training books, as I have, buy this book and you will be happy you did.

i teach fitness classes at a major national chain. this book is excellent. great ideas, wonderful pictures and tips. no diets (which i don't always like to have mixed with my fitness/exercise books). it's pure exercise moves using barbells, dumbbells, bands, stability balls and machines with good variety on each. if you workout at home only without a gym this probably won't work for you but if you're a gym person this is a great book. i should mention that i really like the diversity of fitness models. that's something you don't always see in fitness books but i really appreciate it. this book is like having a personal trainer! i'm going to use it to select some exercises before i go to the gym then when i get there i'll just do the routine i planned for myself. again, i have lots of exercise experience but i still find this book to be a fresh edititon to my fitness book collection. if you like muscle & fitness hers magazine you'll really like all the workouts in one easy to ready, and pretty, book. good job!!!!
