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.
