Very informative, good exercise plans

This book gives excellent back-ground information as to the 'why' of weight-bearing exercises for women. Anyone who wasn't convinced before they read this book will be convinced after they read it. The book says on the cover that you will need 3-8 lb. weights, but actually you will need a dyna-band, a body-bar, and a large ball in addition to the weights. Three programs are given in the book - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The exercises are challenging according to the level they are designated for. I like the exercises in this book and am using this book in addition to Smart Girls Do Dumbbells, Pilates exercises, and daily walking. This book offers a good program on it's own, or as an addition to other exercises you may already be doing.
