Sculpting Her Body Perfect - 3rd Edition

Fitness is my passion and I'm always reading books and articles about fitness. After a while, a lot of the information starts to sound the same. What a refreshing relief to have found this book! This is the first book that I can say that I really learned something from in years. It is divided into three parts; body conditioning, toning and shaping and advanced bodysculpting. While there is good info throughout the book, I found the advanced bodysculpting chapters to be of particular benefit. These chapters show how certain exercises can be combined to achieve optimal definition. The sample routines are great and demonstrate exactly how to incorporate the concepts into a total fitness program.

Overall, the book is very well written and easy to understand. It's a great reference that I'll use time and again.

The first half of the book is pretty basic info that I did not find as useful as someone might who is new to resistance training. The latter half of the book outlines how to sculpt your body. For each major muscle group the author classifies exercises into three categories depending on what parts of the muscles are being worked. By doing some or all the exercise he suggests, you can sculpt your body. What I find really useful is to know each of the categories so that I can ensure that I am working all parts of my back, for example. Now I can see that there may be times that I was doing two exercises that were working the same areas. When developing my program, I will refer to each category and make sure I have selected exercises that will cover all the categories.

The book does have some flaws. The author stresses at the beginning of the book that it is important to know what muscles you are working so that you can focus on them while exercising. But when he illustrates each exercise, he does not tell you which specific muscles you are working. Most other books will list the latin names of the muscles you are working, and some even illustrate the specific muscles, which is quite useful. He suggests a limited number of exercises for each category. Some of the exercises he mentions you can't find in the book (such as "spider curls"). When you look at the illustrated exercises, he does not tell you what category it is working. You have to keep referring back to an earlier page to figure that out. There are so many more exercises you could do for each of the categories but he does not mention them. It would have been nice if he had a chart of exercises that you could do without having to illustrate all of them. The book does not have an index either.

Conclusion: I don't think the book warrants the rave reviews it's received on amazon.com and could have been organized better, but half of the book has useful info. When I first started to read it I was going to return it because the first half of the book wasn't telling me anything I didn't know already. The body sculpting section has good info that I will incorporate into my program, so I have decided to keep the book.

Brad Schoenfeld does a wonderful job with this book. It is well thought out -and moves you from the beginning exercises to the advanced. I have been doing the beginner exercises for about 8 weeks now and have seen a tremendous improvement in my body -and my energy as well.

It is imperitive that you have access to a gym to work out. Or else you will have to have an extensive gym in your home.

I really learned a lot from this book -and have every intention to continue my work outs. I know that I can get to the advanced levels -but I am moving slowly so that I don't injure myself.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about starting a weight lifting program. I have learned more from this book than from the "personal trainers" at my gym.

Kudos to Brad!!

Over the past year, I had went through a very difficult period in my life and wound up gaining more than 20 pounds. I had always been thin and this really had a traumatic impact on me. Combined with all the other hardships that had happened, I was very depressed about my life.

Although my personal problems resolved, I still carried the extra weight. I tried several exercise programs and diets but none really worked and I felt frustrated about everything. I started to believe that I would never be able to get back to where I was.

Then, I was reading Fitness magazine and learned about Brad's book. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. Upon reading it, I immediately got a good feeling. His words were really motivational and I realized all the reasons that my workouts never really worked. The program was easy to follow and the sample routines were extremely helpful.

After a little less than 3 months, I have followed the program religiously and my results have been nothing short of fantastic! I feel I'm in the best shape of my life. I am back to being a size 4, but my clothes fit even better than they did before. I have more energy and I have muscle tone in places that I didn't even know muscles existed! I am indebted to Brad and his message for helping me regain my self-image and feel great again.

Ok, this is a book for women that really want change and are willing to work for it. I feel very sorry for you women out there that say, "Why should we look like models, it's men like the author that make us feel ugly!" Having a healthy body does not mean you have to look like a model. What makes "you" happy is what is important. It make me happy to not jiggle... Since I have started using this book, about 1.5 months ago, I have defintion in my arms, shoulders, my back is broadening, and my thighs are showing signs of muslces. It makes me happy, and I am not doing it for anyone but me. I really like it because it really doesn't take a lot of time. It's hard and short. That's much better than wasting your time on a lot of non sense exercises getting you no where. I am 36 and I have lost 1/2 inch from my things, and 1 inch from my waist. Oh! Let me tell you to judge by the tape measure. I hve noticed I put on 2 pounds, but my measurements have gotten smaller.... GREAT BOOK! Lee
