"This plan makes it so easy..."

"I had had an inkling of the benefits of weightlifting before, but no complete plan. This plan makes it so easy to keep track, gives more info about procedure than any other “method” I’ve come across, and is so low key with fillips of humor, which make it more enjoyable. Thank you!"

"The pictures are great..."

I just started the program and I enjoy it! The book is very easy to understand and the pictures are great! I'm looking forward to waking up to lift weights to challenge myself. I feel a small difference in the way my clothes fit and a huge difference about how my muscles feel (tight). Feeling the difference in the way my clothes fit really makes me yearn to lift weights and exercise. I'm very pleased with the book and have recommended it to some friends."

"Any beginner can understand the exercises immediately..."

Weight Lifting For Absolute Beginners is illustrated so well that any beginner can understand the exercises immediately.

The illustrations of exercises are really lifelike, and the descriptions are clear, straightforward and easy to follow. In addition to guiding you through the exercises, this e-book provides complete workout routines and gives you a clear-cut plan to stay on track.

Weight Lifting For Absolute Beginners will do more for you than a session with a personal trainer - and for only a tiny fraction of the cost! I highly recommend this outstanding e-book to anyone who wants to get the most out of their workout.

"Easiest-to-use..."

I'm only getting started, but this is the best-illustrated, easiest-to-use weight-lifting booklet I've ever found. The fact that it's female-centric really, really *made* the decision to purchase it for me.

What the Experts Say About Weight Lifting:

~  Wayne Wescott, Ph.D., fitness director at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Mass, conducted a study that put 70 people on a low-fat diet while also testing the effects of exercise. One group did both endurance and strength training, or weight lifting, and lost twice as much weight as the group that only used endurance exercises. What's more, the group that didn't lift weights lost half a pound of muscle in two months, while the weight lifting group gained two pounds of muscle.

Evidently, dieting and exercising without strength training can cause you to lose muscle mass, which will slow your metabolism. That means you won't be able to maintain your weight loss, and will slowly regain your lost weight when the diet is over.

~ Research at Tufts University found that post-menopausal women who lifted light weights at least twice a week actually gained bone mass at about 1% a year, while their more sedentary counterparts lost bone mass at the rate of about 2% a year. By strengthening the bones, older women can stay active, involved and independent throughout their lives.
