Women's Strength Training Academy  •  Get an inside view of muscles in action! Like having an X ray as you work out, Women’s Strength Training Anatomy features full-color, detailed anatomical drawings of exercises for strengthening and toning the legs, buttocks, abs, and back. Descriptions of proper technique work in tandem with the illustrations to promote clear understanding of how to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of each exercise. Variations of these movements isolate specific muscles and help you achieve targeted results. Based on the anatomical features unique to women, this book caters to the mechanics and musculature of the female form like no other book on the market. The former editor in chief of the French magazine PowerMag, author and illustrator Frédéric Delavier is currently a journalist for the French magazine Le Monde du Muscle and a contributor to several other muscle publications, including Men’s Health Germany.

Total Strength Training for Women  •  Strength training is a vital addition to the healthy woman's fitness routine. Working with weights improves core stability and strengthens muscles, which in turn boosts metabolism, improves balance and flexibility, and builds bone density. Clearly illustrated with step-by-step color photos of each exercise, Total Strength Training for Women guides the beginning or intermediate student through all aspects of weight training for strength rather than bulk, and offers a progressive plan for weight training at home or in the gym, working with free weights or fixed weights. Additional coverage includes a guide to warm-ups, the main muscle groups, correct posture, and spot training programs. BooksForFitness: Simple instructions, large images, bright lighting and strength instructions in a modern book form.
