Women's Health 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 love this book. I wanted something simple to follow with easy to incorporate dumbbell exercises. I love the way this book sets it up and allows you to write in the book each day. I also love how it gives you every other day off. That way I can do my cardio on those days. So worth the money. 10/10 recommend!!

I love this book. It is spiral bound so it lays flat when open. The workout lasts approximately 30 minutes which is perfect for parents with afterschool activity commitments and limited time to exercise. I will add an additional 30 minutes of stationary bike riding using the bike’s program if I have time, but sometimes I ride the bike on my lifting rest day due to scheduling. I really like riding a stationary bike, but I believe any cardio would be great. I was concerned if I would be challenged with this self study plan. Each week gets more challenging so have faith that it will get harder. Lastly, I feared that I would have no plan once the 12 weeks end. I jumped ahead and read what will happen. We will repeat weeks 9-12 again with slightly heavier weights. I will write a follow up review once I complete week 12. As a former high school athlete now in my late 40s I need weights in my routine. Cardio is not enough. This plan offers a routine that is actually possible to complete without needing a gym and it’s easy to follow. It’s tough getting started but everything is tougher the older we get.

This is a great book for someone who is split stay older than 40 and just getting into weights for strength training. It has a chart you can fill out easy to follow instructions and daily workouts. I haven’t used it yet but the book looks great and it’s exactly what I needed.

Comprehensive, excellent layout and graphics/pictures to assist with performing correctly. Love the spiral, great size for taking to the gym. Highly recommend!!!

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.

Thorough & easy to use!

This is an excellent guide! You have a step by step guide, no matter your age, to getting stronger at any age. I am 68 and bought this because i figured i was old enough to get smart about aging. Haha. Well you start out with using your own body weight and progress. You will learn about how much you you need yo grow your muscle and health along the way! It is a practical and excellent guide for all women to gain muscle and lose fat mass.

I bought the adjustable weights from Amazon. The ones that snap and twist on and off in aqua blue. This book is perfect to work out. The weights go from 2,3,4,5, pounds with the twist of the wrist. This book is a 65 day program. I am 68 years old and this book starts at dead last beginner and builds into a sensible daily work out. The book is a page a day with a warm up. It lays flat and I love it. Once you complete the program go back to the beginning and start with a heavier weight it is the never-ending dumber workout.
