Review of Strength Training for Women
This guide will help you design your own program to fit your needs and wants.Well illustrated with photos, it’s also clearly written. The book gives descriptions of free-weight work-outs along with multi-station and Nautilus-type machines, and even has a section on working with a partner. Complete and easy to read, it’s perfect for me, a person who likes to work out but isn’t an athlete.A chart of major muscle groups and corresponding exercises also helps define what’s going on in your body.My only complaint:the human body illustration used to identify muscles is clearly a *guy*, which, though it doesn’t take away from the book’s effectiveness, seems a bit silly.
