A great way to start the new year!

If you struggle to lift grocery bags in and out of your car or carry heavy pots and pans across your kitchen, this book can help. Unlike some exercise books, this one has great graphics (like all DK books) and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for doing each exercise. I appreciated the circles indicating which muscle you should feel working, as well as the color-coded system to designate basic, intermediate and advanced exercises for varying levels of fitness. There are so many great practical benefits for women who do strength training. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to start a strength-training program or add some weight-bearing exercises onto an existing aerobics routine.

An Inspiration to Get Started Exercising Again!!

I was wondering how to jumpstart my "weight-bearing exercise" again since I'd had pneumonia and lost a lot of strength, when I got a copy of Joan Pagano's breathtaking new book, Strength Training for Women. It is designed with such simple elegance, starting with easy exercises and working up to more difficult ones, that it doesn't overwhelm the reader. Because there are Trainer's Tips throughout, and little dotted-line circles on the model's photos to show where you should feel the exercise, it's almost as good as having Joan Pagano right there in the room as your personal trainer. (She's been training on NYC's Upper East Side for 16 years, and has clients aged 13 to 92.) There is a section called "4 for Life," with 4 exercises that if you do only these, you're taking care of your body and way ahead of those who do nothing: simple squats, pushups, back stretches, and pelvic tilts. The exercises can be done at home, with inexpensive equipment like a floor mat, stretch band, and folded towel. The models are lovely to look at but not too skinny or too muscular. The blue, pink, lavender, and plum page colors make me want to keep picking the book up and reading it. I was so inspired that I actually did get started today!

Husbands Work Out Too

I am in my late 70s and have been helped so much by Joan Pagano's strength training techniques. Not only am I stronger but I am more limber and have better balance. Even more important, I have got my 80-year-old husband to work out -- doing the Pagano exercises -- with me and he loves it. We don't do all the same exercises, but do those that each needs the most.He is stronger, less stiff and more steady than he was before he started the regime.
