Book Reviews of Smart Girls Do Dumbbells
Book Review: A Good Place to Start
Summary: 3 Stars
If you've never done weight training, this book is a good place to start. Tha majority of the book espouses the benefits of weight training, then gives "recipes" (yes, that's what they're called in the book) for specific exercises. There's also a 30-day "menu" designed to be completed in about 30 minutes. Performing the exercises as prescribed allows for a total body workout spread out over 2-3 days.
If you know a bit about weight training, then this book may be too simplistic for you. For example, the author chooses to stick with simple terms like "shoulders" instead of identifying which specific muscle in the shoulder region is being worked, e.g., Anterior Deltoid, Lateral Deltoid, Trapezius, etc.
However, the low-tech approach to using only dumbbells and a chair to build a better body surpasses most other weight training books I've seen. Plus, being geared towards a woman's body instead of a man's is another plus.
