Customer Review:

1: A Very Comprehensive Weight Training Book This a wonderful volume for the beginning weight-trainer or for anyone looking to bust through exercise plateaus. The book starts off with several chapters containing tips, motivation, and useful information pertaining to weight-training including the comment that got me hooked on weight-training in the first place. (My favorite comment is when Kathy mentions the ridiculousness of people who recommend that women begin weight-training with cans of soup.) This volume contains three different levels of workout, each with its own combination of exercises. Each exercise has its own double-page spread with one page featuring photographs illustrating the motion and the opposite page featuring detailed instructions for the movement. The back of the book contains an exercise log to keep you at the top of your game and provide a handy reference to the exercises you will be doing. Several stretches are illustrated in the volume as well and will be the perfect complement to your routines. A Top-Notch Book.
2: excellent I found this book to be very helpful! I loved it. I have been exercising for many years using at home videos. I actually like this book more then some of the Kathy Smith Videos I have used! I wanted to get more involved with working out with weights now that I am in my 40's. The book covers the benefits of working out with weights, nutrition and covers lots of different exercises for each muscle group.(proper form is covered and explained in detail) for the entire body along with a suggested schedule or routine for each week. I have been very happy with the routines and do them entirely at home and have seen great results.
3: Fresh Start I had weight trained several years ago with good results but a bad fall down a flight of stairs led me in a different direction and I after gaining weight and loosing muscle I need to start again. This was an excellent fresh start for me. I saw results in just a few weeks and feel stronger and healthier and have now moved on to more serious weight training once again. Kathy's book is very easy to follow and had very clear direction. Her training advice is sound and her guide to technique was excellent. Her eating plan is sensible and easy to follow and I found no problem working it into my day to day lifestyle. The amount of time spend training each week is very reasonable. A great book for beginners or people who want a FRESH START Also a very reasonably priced book.
4: Strength training is no longer a mystery Prior to reading this book, I only used weights if they were part of an aerobics class. Now I have the confidence to walk into a weight room at a gym! Kathy teaches readers how to use weights both at home and in the gym setting. The how-to photos are very helpful. I also enjoyed the chapter on diet and was impressed by the fact that Kathy consulted with a Registered Dietitian for guidance on the nutrition chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to incorporate strength training into their fitness routine.
5: Kathy is one of the best! I've been lifting weights for a little over a year, so have already experienced many of the benefits Kathy mentions in her book. I've lost 40 pounds and about 18% body fat by following a good diet and weight training at progressively heavier weight and added sets. Even though I am not brand new to weight training, I still found the book helpful. There is an anatomy chart, and Kathy dispels many myths about weight lifting, in particular that women shouldn't lift heavy or that they will get big and bulky from lifting. Also, there were a couple of exercises that I was not doing, so I was able to modify my current program a bit. I tried using a trainer, but frankly have been disappointed, so I am now learning all I can on my own. Lift Weights to Lose Weight will be a book that I use. I like it much better than the accompanying video tape, which I have used briefly; it is not a very comprehensive workout. I recommend this book to beginners and intermediates, and anyone who wants to learn more about the basic principles of weight lifting.
