Women's Strength Training Anatomy - Rated
Very good and comprehensive book! Puts you in the right mind-frame in what you can and cannot achieve, depending on your body type. Very educational and interesting, if you are into muscles, and ligaments and anatomy and stuff! A must for personal trainers/those into weight lifting!

Excellent diagrams - Rated
I've always been into strength training, but I must admit to knowing very little about the muscles in my body. Hence my purchase of this book. There are hundreds of illustrations of athletic goddesses powering their way through many different exercises. The diagrams are cut away and illustrate clearly the muscles involved in each exercise and include the correct names for each muscle.

The book concentrates on solely on lower body exercises, as this is where women differ physiologically from men. However, a novice female in strength training would benefit enormously from a complete body description. I am considering buying the authors other book in order to have a complete body description, but I wish it was included in this.

The book is divided into sections on abdominals, back, legs etc and features many stretches and routines for each. This is great as I'm always seeking to introduce variety into my gym routine and this book definitely provides the inspiration. It shows the same exercise done many times done with different equipment, such as crunches done with a roller, on an inclined bench, on an inclined plane and many more versions. So depending on what you have available, you know what to do and what is happening.

I recommend this book whole heartedly. The hundreds of different exercises offered provide ample opportunity for variety in your routine. The illustrations are excellent and clear and very inspiring (you'll know what I mean when you see them). Most of all, the book doesn't shy away from women performing such things as dead lifts or squats, something a lot of gyms won't tell you about for fear you might hurt yourself!!

Great for women's specifics but not a complete guide - Rated
The book takes you through a good number of exercises, explaining differences between male and female musculature. There are excellent illustrations with highlighted detail of the areas being worked. It also gives additional tips for post child birth exercises. However, the book is restricted to legs and core muscles only. If you want a more complete guide that includes the upper body buy the 'Strength Training Anatomy' book instead (same author. The women's version is a good supplementary reference book however.
