Very thorough!

I bought this and reviewed it, and it appeared quite thorough. My friend's daughter was getting into weight lifting and wanted to learn more about it. I lent her this book and she is very happy with it.

I Need Strength Training Just to Carry This Book!

I just got my copy of this book today. From what I've looked at so far, it seems to be very clear, thorough and well-illustrated. My only complaint is that this book is oversized and heavy. It's not the kind of thing that will fit in my gym bag so I can refer to it while working out. I think it needs a better format.

Very Complete

I was surprised at the depth of and introduction to some critical exercises that even the best strength training books do not even attempt to address: things like wrist strength, pronation movements, and so forth. I felt this book really rounded out my exercises and it pictured the muscles I use so that I could build a more complete routine around all of the muscle groups I wanted to target or had been neglecting. Great book, spiral with pix, easy to take to gym.

Extremely Thorough

Illustrations of working muscle groups coordinate with in-depth analysis of critical exercises to help you build a more complete routine.

Equipment Oriented

This book is heavily weighted toward the use of exercise machines. If you have access to them at home or in a gym, then it's an excellent book for toning and strength building. If you don't, you'll discover that, aside from the sturdy spiral format, it has little to offer the at-home exerciser interested in using handheld, wrist, or ankle weights and the Thera Band system. If the latter is more your speed, try Joan Pagano's excellent book: "Strength Training for Women."

Strength training is a vital addition to the healthy woman's fitness routine. Working with weights improves core stability and strengthens muscles, which in turn boosts metabolism, improves balance and flexibility, and builds bone density. Clearly illustrated with step-by-step color photos of each exercise, Total Strength Training for Women guides the beginning or intermediate student through all aspects of weight training for strength rather than bulk, and offers a progressive plan for weight training at home or in the gym, working with free weights or fixed weights. Additional coverage includes a guide to warm-ups, the main muscle groups, correct posture, and spot training programs.
