Workouts With Weights: Simple Routines You Can Do at Home

Years after a car accident ended my weight training, I feel well enough to go back to free weights and pulled out this old book. Lots of books show dozens of moves and some may do a better job of explaining them. But this book does something that I've not seen that often in other books; they present a logical series of workouts that accelerate in intensity as your fitness increases.

The graphic layout of the programs is easy to translate into a spreadsheet or forms and you'll find it easy to adjust weight, repetition and set counts as you progress.

At the price this book goes for now you can't go wrong. It's true that the photos are pretty bad, but you don't need to spend much time looking at them anyway.

This is a great book. It'll save you about a thousand bucks by showing you how to do exercises with simple hand weights as opposed to expensive machines. I would get rid of all other books I own save my bible before getting rid of this.

First let me say that I am very particular about the books that I aquire, and try finding authors that present the "real deal".

That said, I think this book is great! I have perhaps a bad habit of exchanging books that I do not find usefull. This is the first book I have purchased on the subject of weight training, and I am completely happy. First, it has great info on weight training in general. Goals, saftey, nutrition. Just enough to get you started. No preaching either, just encouragement. These first few chapters are followed by some warm-ups and stetching excercises. I also really love the routines they have set in the back. There are several, and they are progressive and could keep you going for months at least, while building up strenth. This book is written from a more gentle perspective, no jocks or jarheads here. I do agree with the reviewer about the pictures. They serve their purpose quite well, but when I saw the publishing date was in the early ninties I had to check to see if I was reading correctly. They all look straight out the seventies. But again, this book is more about doing than glamor and show. Great book for those who want a good workout from home with almost no equiptment at all.

I just received this book in the mail yesterday, and was somewhat disappointed. The cover of the book is misleading compared to the pictures inside. The cover looks pretty up-to-date, but the people in the book who illustrate the exercises look like flashbacks from the '70's with headbands, permed hair, full body leotards, etc. They look like the "before" pictures of people who need to work out. Not that that matters, but it is not as motivating to me. The exercises are ok, but basic (I didn't learn anything new). If you are a beginner who doesn't need motivation, then you might get some use out of this book.
