Weights for Weight Loss: Fat-Burning and Muscle-Sculpting Exercises with Over 200 Step-by-Step Photos (Paperback) Review

I primarily bought this book for the 40 minute Cardio/Sculpt Circuit workout listed on the back cover. The day I received it I read the entire book in one sitting. For such a tiny book, there was so much information covered that I hadn't read in other books (ex. metabolism, what is a calorie, mental focusing, etc.). I was very impressed by all this, but the workouts themselves WOW. I love the clear descriptions of the workouts and the explanations of what results to expect. I have only tried the 40 minute Cardio/Sculpt Circuit and I incorporated into my current schedule rather than one of those listed in the book. I thought it was awesome and I definitely felt challenged. The exercises themselves have clear and concise descriptions and pictures on the movements. There are many basic exercises that are found in many other books, but there are also many I haven't seen before and love them already (ex. scooped flye for pectorals, lat pull side, single leg squat, most of the core series, etc.). This book doesn't skimp on the stretching moves as do many other books. For only 96 pages it is well packed with information, 4 workouts, 3 programs, and a nice catalog of exercises.

In regard to working out with books: I love this method because (1) I can keep up without having someone else set my pace and rhythm. (2a) Working out doesn't interfere with my TV watching in the evening. (2b) I can get in a workout at a decent time (I don't have a fancy recording device to help with this problem and don't really want to fork out money for one).(3) I am my best motivator. I really felt Ellen Barrett was motivating, especially because her first exercise is a mental one: you are responsible for you and your weight loss < This is a paraphrase.

Overall, I love this book and truly believe it's a great addition to my growing library of exercise and fitness books. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in exercise and fitness.

Product Description:
Everyone knows that dieting without exercise doesn't work. But not all exercises are equally effective. Weights for Weight Loss explains why weight training is the best way to get in shape and provides readers with a comprehensive program that will guarantee success. The author dispels the five myths of weight training (fat turns to muscle, lifting makes for bulky muscles, weights are for men, it's easy to get hurt, heavier is better) and details the numerous benefits of building muscle, such as gaining more energy and a more youthful appearance, and - most importantly - greater fat loss with less effort. The book features exercises for all levels of fitness, from beginner to advanced.
Each exercise is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos that show proper technique. Weights for Weight Loss's specialty programs include "The 10-Minute Body Blitz," which hits all the major muscle groups; "The 30-Minute Cardio Circuit," where exercises are performed at a fast pace with no rest in between; and "The 30-Minute Super Sculpt," where heavier weights are used for three sets in a row to exhaust muscles one at a time.
