Lisa Lyon's Body Magic

This book helps dispel the belief that weightlifting will make women bulk up. Lisa Lyon shows you an excellent, modern weightlifting program that will help you create a beautiful, sexy, strong body. There are great photos in this B & W book as well as wonderful inspiration in creating the strong body and mind you desire. Really excellent book.

I found this book at a thrift store, and despite the fact that it was written in 1981, it is absolutely inspiring and amazingly modern. Lisa was one of the first notable female bodybuilders, and in this book she gives her program for how to improve your body, your health, and your life through weight training. All of the exercises she recommends are well photographed and described. I highly recommend this book for any woman who wants to be stronger, in all senses of the word!
