Paperback: 108 pages

ISBN-13: 978-1568000329
Rezensionen:
This is a great book for beginning weight lifters and especially fellow women who'd like to begin to lift and might feel uncomfortable asking gym staff for assistance. It has pictures of exercises and the proper way to lift weights as well as specific exercises for shaping certain muscle groups. Small book, but informative and easy to read. Good reference.
bought this because I got a weight set and bench cheap and wanted to learn how to use it so I could increase my strength and resistance to osteoporosis without killing or injuring myself. The book is very straight forward and has good pictures. The descriptions of some of the moves (or variations on lifts) are, for the most part, simple and easy to understand. This book gave me the confidence to start a short exercise-with-weights program and firm up my muscles. Advanced lifters will probably be disappointed, but for a total beginner like myself, it was a great starting point -- one I return to often. And the authors make sure to include women in the photos, which helped me (as a woman) feel like it wasn't just a "man thing" -- that I could do it too.
If you're too intimidated to do this stuff in the gyms, the gym staff aren't very helpful with it, or if the weights/benches are always hogged by jock types, get yourself a good used weight set and bench and buy this book. You'll do just fine. Note: having a mirror nearby can help you be sure you're doing the exercises right and with the proper positions and posture.

Das vermutlich einzige Parker Werk dass mich nicht die Bohne interessiert. Ich weiß ja dass er selbst eine zeitlang Gewichte gehoben hat und darin ziemlich gut war (ähnlich wie Spenser mit dem Boxen), aber als Lesestoff ist mir das rein vom Inhalt her, uninteressant.

Geht mir ganz genauso. Anders wäre es sicher, wenn man selbst Gewichte stemmt und sich den einen oder anderen Ratschlag holen will - gerade bei Neueinsteigern....

Na, da sind wir uns ja wieder mal alle einig :)
So sehr ich Paker als Autor schätze, würde ich wahrscheinlich doch eher Farbe beim Trocknen anschauen als mir die Lektüre dieses Buches antun.
