Summary: 5 Stars
Excellently written, great information - I can only recommend this book. It is an easy read with a load of valuable info.Book Review: Excellent Info for A Great Start
Summary: 5 Stars
While the book did do some pros and cons of fitness, it laid out some very common sense approach on fitness training for women (and men too, if you haven't read the first NROL), and especially added the nutrition aspect with recipes. I can't wait to see my wife cook something good and healthy for a change. I would recommend this book to everyone young and older.Book Review: Very Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with this book and have already recommended it to friends. I had already read the author's "New Rules of Lifting" for men. Some of the information is a repeat, but is such good information that it doesn't hurt to reread it. Plus this book for women is just that - for women and includes information specific to women. I haven't finished reading the entire book yet, but am excited to try both the meal ideas and exercise plans.Book Review: Excellent, doable workouts for all ages (almost)
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the others so far that this is a great resource. My mother gave this to me and to herself for Christmas - she and I both enjoy fitness and we got started together with Stage 1 a few weeks ago to give each other feedback. (She's in her early 50s, I'm in my early 30s but she's still much stronger from years of working out!) I just got into fitness again about a year ago but was mostly doing cardio - I was using gym machines occasionally and finding it too cost-intensive with too little pay off. Doing the workouts in Stage 1 with 5 basic moves takes about 45 minutes plus a short cardio warm-up and you use your entire body so it takes less time in the end than weight machines would have (the first time through takes longer as you figure it out). I have been sore every time - you really use those muscles if you keep increasing the weights! Another plus is the online forum with support from other users of this book - I even emailed Lou Schuler himself to ask for a copy of the training log and he sent it within an hour! Finally, I feel motivated putting on my weight gloves and pumping with the boys. Now I can't wait to see results... The only downside is that occasionally the exercises don't include as many tips for how to do them safely so a total beginner might want to research moves like the deadlift or squats to make sure you do them right - having had lumbago and sciatica I am pretty careful to make sure I don't injure myself. All the same, I strongly recommend this book - solid, simple, practical and time-effective.
