Book Reviews of 101 Workouts for Women: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong and Fit Physique
Book Review: Realistic Strength Training Workouts for Beginner through Advanced
Summary: 5 Stars
101 Workouts for Women is a solid strength training reference guide for any woman interested in obtaining and maintaining a lean, fit body. It won't do the work for you, nor will it give you dietary advice of any kind, but it will give you a well laid out guide to what exercises you should be doing (and how many), how you should be doing them (shown in color photos with fit, but not overly-buff women), and why (for what body parts these exercises are intended).
I use this book along with the Strength Training Anatomy (Sports Anatomy) book to plan my workouts and to give me a good visual reference. While I consider myself to be an intermediate to advanced gym rat, I think there's always more to learn and new ways to do things that may be better than the way I'm doing them. More than once while looking through 101 Workouts for the first time I had 'ah-ha' moments in the form of new exercises and/or variations on the ones I'm doing.
Not all of the workouts are done in the gym. The book includes 'at home' workouts with the ball, dumbells and bands for each of the body parts. Workouts are a good mix of both gym and home exercises, but they do utilize the same basic exercises here and there in different 'workouts'. This is to be expected - particularly for body parts like the triceps - as there are really only so many ways you can work them directly. The 'upper body' and 'lower body' workouts use exercises that work several muscle groups at once - such as a basic lunge.
The authors also give tips on each workout page, along with routines listing sets and reps for each exercise, and 'Getting Started' info which is really a variation of the 'Tip' - suggesting how you might overcome various gender-specific fitness impediments.
I also liked that the models used in this book are not bodybuilders, but rather fit, attractive women 25-35, who look lean, toned and muscular. In a word "fit". Their bodies are examples of realistic goals that any woman - with the right bit of effort in the weight room and eating a healthy diet - can attain. The color photos illustrate how to do specific exercises using proper form, which is a great help to anyone who is trying to do it the right way and see how doing it will affect their body's shape.
Chapters included in 101 Workouts for Women:
1. Abs
2. Arms
3. Delts
4. Chest
5. Back
6. Legs
7. Upper Body
8. Lower Body

If you are a beginner to strength training, this book is an excellent guide and resource. If you are an intermediate to advanced weight trainer, you can still benefit from this book and use it to refresh your current workout routine.
