Good book, workouts are fine for starting out but do not progress they way I hoped. I switched to the Weight Training Workout that Work books 9 months ago and am amazed at my changes. I have lost 6% bodyfat, 19 lbs and look better than when I was 20.
Everybody out there - start lifting weights yesterday - will be the best thing you have done!

[[ASIN:0756605954 Strength Training for Women] Everyone interested in better health can derive benefit from Joan's books and strength training deck. This particular book is a comprehensive resource for all women (really anyone) interested in developing and maintaining a lifelong, comprehensive fitness program. It includes everything a person could need to achieve optimal balance and functionality through all stages of life. Whether you are starting a fitness program or just need to make changes to an existing one, this book is for you. You can choose from Joan's comprehensive, total body programs in the back of the book, progress from Level 1 to 3 in each of the separate body programs, or create your own with the book's guidelines. You'll never be bored and you'll always be fit. Also, be sure to check out the Strength Training Card deck, which I love to use in conjunction with this book. I also have 8 Weeks to a Younger Body and the 15 Minute Total Body Workout, which comes with a DVD. Both book contain total body workouts that anyone do. They're an excellent resource as well, especially if you're pressed for time. Joan know the real fountain of youth is lifelong total body fitness.

This is the kind of book for all gym lovers and ladies especially who can do it at home without major gym machines.
The book is colourful and the spot training methods are interesting
Highly recommende for people who wants to start strength training and I think the colours keeps you motivated

This is a great entry or re-entry level book. I used it summer before last to prepare for a camping trip. At the time (alas) I had decent cardiovascular fitness but knew I wanted to improve upper body strength along with core and lower body fitness. I created a work out I could enjoy.
If you are new to weights, she has a very sensible approach to starting. The models are obviously strong women but no oiled, beef-cake type poses, no ultra-buffed bods. So indeed, if that's what you're looking for, this is NOT it.
Very nice emphasis on fitness for a lifetime. I'm going to have to take a look at the cards.

I was shocked to see that this book got such high reviews. I found it to be extremely lacking. I suppose it might be alright for a woman whose never lifted a weight in her life, but for anyone serious about weight training, this book will not help you. I highly recommend Strength Training Anatomy (not the women's version). I use now use that book to formulate all my strength routines.
