The Woman's Guide To Strength Training: Dumbbells: Get strong arms, legs, and abs—with around 30-minute workouts you can do in your own home!

I am so thrilled that I found this book. I used to be in better shape but the last year and a half I have been battling some health challenges and surgeries. Now, on the mend, I want to get back to where I was. But feel too weak to resume my favorite yoga class. I just started this 12 week program. I’m planning to do it in 14 weeks because I want to add on the optional prep weeks. I want to build back slowly. I am very excited about the layout of this book and the progression towards more difficulty. I expect great results. My preteen children are interested in participating with me as well.

I really like this book. Daily exercises and great pictures showing each exercise. This is at your own pace and commitment. I open the book each evening and follow along. Sure, you may not hit it as hard as in a gym, but between my weights and bowflex, this adds to my routine. I think the hard part for me was knowing which exercises improved which muscle group. This takes guessing out of the equation. I have already adjusted some exercises to take into account my knee issue and shoulder surgery recovery. I love that the book is spiral bound. You wont have to use a weight to hold a page open. I think this is a great book for at home workouts.

I haven’t started my training yet but the book looks like it explains things well. Has pictures and places to record workouts. Anxious to get started.

Great book! Well organized. Easy to use. Instructions for lifts and exercises are very easy to understand and follow.

Nice illustration of strength training. Clear instructions and pictures show clearly how to do the moves safely and how to get results.

This is an excellent book but you almost need to be in pretty good shape before starting this. I think it’s geared more to the younger crowd. Day 1 is 3 sets of 20 each pushups and same of squats. I’m in pretty good shape but no way can I do 60 pushups right out of the shoot. I plan to follow this but need to work up to it.

Good Book. Tried to reach all levels of athletic ability and gives practical advice with information on the push and pull method of muscle training.

Detailed instructions and photos for how to do the exercises. This book is good for beginners and ladies 50 years old and up.
