Women's Home Workout Bible Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is flat-out terrific. I don't think I've been this happy with a workout book since The New Rules of Lifting for Women. You can set up a simple space for very little money or if you have the desire for a more professional gym-at-home, you can set one up as well using the advice in this book. The budgets range from a minimal $100 to upwards of $2500 (estimates, as your costs locally will vary.)
I just listened to someone complain that their gym played "unsuitable dvds" for their little toddler in the babysitting area. And someone else complained about loud cellphone conversations on the treadmill next to them. Uck. AND it is flu season and perhaps you don't like to watch people wipe their noses on equipment, not wash their hands after you-know-where and drip sweat without wiping it up. If you are grossed out by this, or have no good gym nearby or if you are happier at home, this book is for you. Also for you if getting up and out of the house is an issue; no excuses when the workout area is right next to the tv set.
The book has beautiful photographs that show proper position for using weights on benches, physio ball or bands, as well as machines. These photos are LARGE and CLEAR. While I think it's advisable to see a professional trainer if you are beginning to work out in order to get the best advice on the safest way to position yourself, this book is a great adjunct to occasionally working with a trainer or to re-familiarize yourself.
There are workout routines in the back of the book for core stability, body sculpting, or body conditioning and they are organized by ...budget! Yes. Not everyone has megabucks to set up a home gym. So the workouts go from a hundred dollars to a couple of thousand depending on how you set up your home gym. There is also a table in the front showing which exercises are done with which set of equipment, so if you love doing leg presses on a sled, you will have to substitute leg presses with a resistance band if you don't have this gigantic machine in your budget (I love the sled but it looks like an iron maiden, doesn't work with my decor and costs a bundle.) There is a section on fat loss and intensity training.
The book has info on buying equipment (used? new? local? online? and what about those alluring late-nite-you-saw-it-on-tee-vee inventions that promise to give you a six-pack if you'll only order in the next twenty minutes?) The minimal gym (and minimal space) uses a physio ball (aka Swiss Ball, exercise ball), resistance bands and a few dumbbells and maybe a yoga mat. I have a setup like this in my bedroom where we have no carpet. It takes up maybe 20 square feet if that. I store it in a space about the size of a tv set. (rolled up mat, ball, dumbbells and band.) While I have a larger space in the basement, I often just want to wake up and grab my physio ball and dumbbells and go for it. This set-up is perfect for a dorm room, an apartment or a house where you just have no space for a complete workout area. Literally, your family room can become a decent gym in a few seconds.
The home gym will also work for other workouts that you may already do with DVD or book. For example, Joyce Vedral's Speedy Non-Stop Fat Meltdown uses a bench and three sets of dumbbells. I substitute a physio ball for a bench, but benches are to be had for a reasonable sum especially if you search local classified ads or yard sales.
If I could give this book TEN stars, I would.
