Since that time, Liz has graduated into a well-known corporate fitness consultant, designing and managing fitness centers worldwide. Along the way, Liz also was a personal trainer, received a master’s degree in exercise physiology, and got certified by the American College of Sports Medicine, National Strength and Conditioning Association, American Council of Exercise, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She is coauthor and author of several books, including Fitness For Dummies and Fitness Walking For Dummies and writes frequently for the New York Times, Family Circle, Shape, and others. She currently hosts a daily internet show on eyada.com. Suzanne Schlosberg: Suzanne’s writing career began her freshman year in college when she was assigned to cover a pre-season NBA game and found herself in a locker room interviewing a dozen, tall, muscular, naked Boston Celtics. She decided she liked this writing stuff. Suzanne went on to become a newspaper reporter and magazine writer. Now a contributing editor to Shape and Health magazine, Suzanne is the coauthor, with Liz Neporent, of Fitness For Dummies and the author of The Ultimate Workout Log. She is also an instructor in the UCLA Extension Certificate in Journalism program. Always happy when she has a barbell in hand, Suzanne has lifted weights in Zimbabwe, Morocco, Iceland, and Micronesia, among other locales. She is the women’s record holder in the Great American Sack Race, a quadrennial event held in Yerington, Nevada, in which competitors must run 5 miles while carrying a 50-pound sack of chicken feed.Shirley Archer: Shirley is a former New York City attorney who traded the fast life for the fit life. A survivor of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from stress and overworking, her recovery helped her to become a champion of fitness for health and to live fully in body, mind and spirit. She’s now a health educator and fitness specialist at the Health Improvement Program at Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, the author of ten fitness and wellness books, an international trainer of fitness instructors, and a frequently quoted media spokesperson worldwide. Her master’s degree is in East Asian Studies from Harvard University, and she has special expertise in mind-body exercise. She’s a mind-body spokesperson for IDEA, author of a monthly mind-body news column, and a spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise. She’s certified by the American College of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, and National Strength and Conditioning Association, among others. She’s also a certified Pilates teacher and yoga instructor.

Shirley believes that healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that you can live a longer, happier, and better life by choosing fitness every day.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a good reference book for beginners, but is also helpful for those “getting back into fitness.” As with other books in this series, the information is straight-forward, and even humorous at times.I was concerned, however, with the author’s focus on free weights. She seems to have a personal hatred of machines, and this comes across in the writing. A well-rounded workout, in my opinion, should include both free weights and machines, and I was dismayed to read the almost anti-machine agenda in this book.That aside, this book – coupled with others on the same topic – is a good way to begin or jump start a fitness routine.

⭐I’m a beginner.I feel like the book has scattered information and certain important details are missing. For instance, they don’t really explain how to get create a workout. They sort of give you guidelines in pages of text, but I’m still confused. They give you sample workout routines but don’t explain the choices they made.The exercises they show need to be more detailed. They need to show arrows of motion with certain ones like the Pelvic Tilt. I’m still not quite sure how to accomplish that and I don’t want to hurt my back doing it wrong.I’m just very disappointed in the book. It’s an OK reference, but I don’t think it is good enough for a beginner’s book.

⭐This book has three different authors and it seems like all three had to get a word in on each and every page. They blather on for 138 pages with excessively detailed instructions before they show you how to do a single exercise. If you want to study, get this book. If you want to exercise, order twenty copies and start lifting.

⭐wife wanted to get a little more work out info and picked out this book. the “dummies ‘ series always lays things out nicely and this book was no exception.it’s good for the novice or beginner and will provide the basics to get started.

⭐Comprehensive overview. the descriptions of proper form were quite detailed, however, I would have liked more pictures. Also it would have been useful for a beginner to have taken more advantage of these electronic format eg with hyperlinks between the exe

⭐Very informative helps people who don’t know how lifting weights affects our bodies.is a good book for personal trainers. Tells you all about how and what lifting weights do to the body

⭐My sports-minded teen grandson needed a weight program and good advice about what *not* to do as well as what would most benefit him. This is a concise and convenient starter manual.

⭐Written for the novice like me. No technical jargon, just useful information that helps the novice get tuned in to the correct methods and approaches.Purchased for my wife after she started to dog ear my version.

⭐ita okay for me just catching up on what I already knew about

⭐Decent bought as a joke obviously.

⭐Clear and easy to follow instructions, essential to ensuring safe and effective training at home. Mostly used by teenage son who has his first set of weights.

⭐tells you everything you need to know

⭐Although ive been training for 16 years i downloaded this book for a few ideas on technique and must say it was a great read and very helpful
