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.

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.

This book gives great examples for beginners. Loved the pictures and the quality of each workout description. It handy to put in a bag and not to bulky. Very readable for all ages.

This book gives great information on strength training, and I like that there is a section for "prep training". This section is really good for a novice, which starts getting you in position to do the 12-week program.

Great book. Did the whole thing 3 times. Good illustrations and instructions.

Exactly what I was looking for! I've been doing DVDs for the last 20 years and became bored with weight training, turning to cardio. I'm 70 and need strength training. I found the format of this book very clear and inviting. I love the format and the fact each week we have different exercises and reps. There is room to develop my own twist on the workouts, should I desire. For now, I'm sticking with the original plan from this trainer. I like her. Each week is clearly laid out with thumbnails of each exercise and the page number for details. Directions are clear and concise. Some of the exercises involve mobility, some mind / body connections. A lot of thought went into this entire program. I rarely write reviews but this book is worth my time to write a review.

I bought and am currently using this I’m on week five. It’s pretty good, but I think some of the exercises are very challenging for beginners, particularly leg day. I also think the warmups are pretty repetitive and there are no cool down exercises. Overall, 3.5 rounded up.

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!!
