Training for Women: Your
with training log cards to
keep track for 8 weeks
When this book was first brought to my attention the title
'Strength Training for Women' conjured up images of female
body builders, but that couldn't have been further from the
truth.
In this book the 'Strength' that author
Joan Pagano is
referring to is the general everyday strength we all need. The
type that, if it's there you don't notice it, but if you spend
a day doing the gardening or something, boy do you feel the
lack of it the next day.
The best thing about women strength training is the shape
it will give you. Yes, strength training will tone your
muscles and give you the power to lug groceries to the car,
but, when women strength train, along with strength comes
sculpted body contours.
If you want a flatter tummy, shapelier arms or firmer legs,
Strength Training for Women is the answer, and as fat turns to
muscle you will shrink to a slimmer you while you're at it.
The first chapter is a comprehensive introduction to
strength training and is all about showing you how to do it
correctly so you get the best out of your strength training.
After that it's all about the workouts, in fact it it 127
pages of exercises and workouts. Now that's what I call
thorough.
Each exercise is broken down and explained with colour
photos demonstrating each stage of each exercise. You are also
told why you should do the exercise. For example: "works
hamstrings to give a nice shape to the back of the thigh".
You'll also find suggested reps for beginners and more
advanced sets, plus trainers tips for each exercise.
Strength Training for Women has been so well thought out
and put together. It is simple and easy to see what to do and
actually get on and start strength training. Not to mention
the results of following a strength training workout are very
visible and just what every woman wants.
TOP TIP: There are plenty of strength training
exercises and workouts you can do without any equipment or
weights, but I would advise you to get a
fitball so
that you can get the absolute most out of this book and your
strength training workout.
