okay, but expected more
These cards look very nice, but if I had shopped for them in person, I probably would have put them back on the shelf. The packaging is great, but I found Jorge Cruise's workout cards easier to use with more user friendly photos of the moves to be done. The lanyard is a nice touch, but would have been more useful if the cards had a hole in the top center rather than in the corner as far as readability while working out. I'll use them, but I just expected more from the purchase.

The ultimate solution
I can say that I've been using card set for the last several weeks and it is the perfect solution to us mom's who are always on the run.I would highly recommend this book.It is simple and easy to do!

Un libro excelente!!!
Para mi Mike Mentzer fue una inspiraci?n muy importante a principios de mis 20 a?os, no solo trajo muchas respuestas a las cuestiones del ejercicio, si no tambi?n a cuestiones filos?ficas que aunque parezca raro, maneja en los primeros cap?tulos de su obra maestra. El libro esta muy bien ordenado y explica claramente el porque uno no debe de entrenar como loco todos los d?as 2 o 3 horas para obtener el cuerpo que quiere, basta con trabajar de 20 a 30 minutos 2 veces por semana para obtener buenos resultados. Creelo, si funciona, en lo personal aumente 8 kilos de m?sculo en 1 mes y medio utilizando este sistema. Hazte un favor y lee esta obra que es uno de los mejores escritos sobre musculaci?n que se hallan escrito. ... Read more

Book Description
If you believe what most women's magazines tell you, muscles can be "shaped," "toned," and "sculpted" with nothing more than a little dumbbell that weighs less than a can of peas. But muscles aren't modeling clay, and the only way to transform them is to strengthen them. The New Rules of Lifting for Women is for the woman who's ready to throw down the "Barbie" weights and start a strength and conditioning program that will give her the body of her dreams.

The book puts to rest the shop-worn notion that women who train with heavy weights will bulk up. Nonsense! Women simply don't have enough testosterone to pack on muscle like a bodybuilder. Here's the truth: lifting weights not only makes you stronger, it also makes you leaner. In fact, most women would have to run twice as long to receive the same fat-burning benefits as weight lifters.

A better workout in less time may sound too good to be true, but champion trainer Alwyn Cosgrove creates six months' worth of workouts that will build strength, burn fat, and rev up the metabolism. His total body workouts target all the major muscle groups, and each exercise is accompanied by clear black-and-white photographs that illustrate proper technique and form.

A nutrition plan is another key feature of the book. To gain strength you have to feed muscle, and nutritionist CassandraForsythe has designed a regimen to achieve this goal. She strongly recommends small, frequent meals and offers meal plans, along with fifty recipes, to satisfy women's special needs through breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. The New Rules of Lifting for Women will become the standard for smart women who take their fitness goals seriously. ... Read more

The New Rules Of Lifting
This book was ok but not what I was looking for.The information on the way you should eat was not very good.All this information could have been found free on the internet.I was looking for something with more detail.

Bad binding
The book itself is fine and a very interesting read.The quality of the binding, however, is another story.I returned it for a replacement and I'm afraid the replacement isn't going to be much better.Not Amazon's fault though as I've read that the publisher is having the same problems wherever the book is sold.

New Rules for Women
At first glance, I was not totally pleased.But...once I started reading the material, I was glad I purchased the book.The author uses fact and humor which makes for a more enjoyable read.I will incorporate some of the info. I have obtained through this book in my work-outs for myself as well as my clients.

Lift Like A Man, Look Like A Goddess
This is the best workout book I have read in a long time.I am looking forward to beginning the 6 month training routine and seeing the results!
