Book Reviews of The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess
Book Review: love this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I found some of this simlar to Body For Life, but yet also learned some new things about lifting for females. I enjoyed the style of his writing tremendously and found myself laughing several times. I'm following his lifting advice and am seeing changes in my body I didn't see with many years of working out with lighter weights. Also incorporating the eating habits and that has made me feel more energetic, less hungry and am seeing changes in my body without feeling deprived. This has been a good guide for me and I will pass it on to others gladly.Book Review: Nothing New Here. . .
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book hoping to learn new routines or new ways of working my muscles to the limit. I was sorely disappointed to find nothing new. . .This is the first book I actually returned to Amazon for a refund. Magazines like Oxygen and Muscle & Fitness for Her have just as much info and cost much less.Book Review: Read this book if you want results.
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves the gym but is a little lost when you're actually there. When I bought the book I was specifically looking for a detailed and progressive work out schedule. This book contains pictures of the strength training moves along with a progressive set of repitions and different workouts. The information about strength training v. cardio v. high intensity cardio is also very interesting and changed my thinking. I am finally seeing real results with a workout after trying and discarding many. I have not followed the diet at all so I can't comment but the real meat to this book is the workout regimine.Book Review: Great get started book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book helped me understand the basics of lifting and how your body works. I read it in one night because I was so eager to learn and I must say it really jump started my routine in the gym. The only criticism I have is that a lot of the exercises have potential to injure your back if you're not careful and I don't think this book stresses how important it is to make sure you have correct form. Its hard to judge form from the pictures and I just wish they would have linked you to some website with video demonstrations on them. There also aren't any alternatives in this book for using only dumbbells in case your gym is limited like mine. Other than that though, great first book to anyone interested in starting lifting and actually maximizing your time at the gym. Read this book if not for any other reason than to understand that straight cardio is not going to help you lose that much weight or be fit.Book Review: I'm starting to look like a Goddess....
Summary: 5 Stars
I started Body For Life in November (2007) and only lost 5 pounds. Well I got really bored with the same weight lifting routines too. My friend told me about this book she got from her boyfriend who is a trainer at 24 hour fitness. I figured, hey a trainer should know what he's doing. Right? Anyways, I am very pleased with it. I started in mid January and have lost 7 pounds, (2 1/2 inches in my waist) total of 12 pounds which isn't bad considering I break down once in awhile for brownies. (Bad I know...) The book gives you good ideas for food. I also LOVE the author! He has a good sense of humor which makes it a fast read. I LOVE that the stages (weight routines) change too AND you can do this at home or at the gym. I also LOVE that I am actually seeing changes in my body. Even my husband said that he has noticed a difference. You can't go wrong with this book ladies! Another book you might want to check out with this one is "The Solution: For Safe, Healthy, and Permanent Weight Loss by Laurel Mellin." It helped me a lot with my emotional eating. Good luck to you on your journey!
