Weight Training for Women: Exercises and Workout Programs for Building Strength with Free Weights Paperback – May 12, 2020

Wow! This is a great book for anyone, especially someone who wants to have good form whether exercising with body weight or free weights. Although the book says it is for those new to weightlifting, I weightlifting for decades and really need this book as a refresher because I have not lifted in more than 10 years. The figures in the book show proper form and are easy to follow.

The book arrived in excellent condition. The content is just what I was looking for.

This book is simple but yeah, the reviews are right, you need to do a lot of flipping back and forth in the book to actually perform any of complete (and nice) workout programs in the back. That needs to be improved. Other than the photos are clear, and the explanations are accurate. Thought it was clever they managed to portray a woman who is miraculously unable to be identified by any particular ethnicity. Hmm.

Thank you for helping my sister better understand weight training! I’m glad you could help.

I got completely turned off by the ageist remarks in the beginning. The author advises readers not to start working out because of appearance, because (in her opinion) that doesn't last. Apparently, she believes that anyone over a certain age, whether they're in good shape or not, is necessarily ugly.Don't buy this book if you don't get carded anymore unless you're pretty thick-skinned.Most authors have better sense than to insult their readers. This one doesn't.

This is a great book! I especially appreciate the workout routines towards the back.

Honestly, I bought this because my wife kept talking about getting busy with weight, lifting and not actually doing it. I was hunting around for something to give her as a guide and came across this book. She’s actually been using it, it’s sitting open next to her on the training mat while she’s making use of the movements and following the pictures Somewhat diligently. so I think for a beginner or reluctant weightlifter. This book does set you on a good course for a proper start of a weight lifting program. There’s a nice balance between visual and textual information. Well done.

This is the best weight lifting book I've ever purchased and I have bought many over the years. The author does a beautiful job of breaking down each exercise with easy-to-follow steps and pictures to show proper form. She also puts warm ups, exercises, and cool downs together in several routines that take about 45 mins. I'm so happy I found this book!
