Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Learn the basics of low-weight, high-repetition strength training with Hollywood trainer Jake. In this 40-minute video, Jake instructs carefully and comprehensively while a young, fit, female exerciser demonstrates each exercise. The clear instruction is aimed at beginning level, with exercises for all major muscle groups. This is an instructional guide rather than a workout--if you want to use it as a workout, pause the DVD to complete your reps before going on to the next exercise. You'll need dumbbells, a barbell, and an adjustable weight bench with leg curl and leg extension (all the items in the Body by Jake equipment set). Since no alternatives are shown (e.g., dumbbells instead of barbell for several appropriate exercises), this DVD seems more appropriate as an instructional guide for working out with the Body by Jake equipment (or equivalent) rather than for general weight training at home. --Joan Price

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Strength Training Tape For Beginners on the Market, January 13, 2003
By A Customer
I pre-ordered the VHS tape back in early December. I received it a few days ago. I am totally impressed. I have a weight bench, dumb-bells, a bar and a heavier weight set at home. I use my light weight dumb-bells all of the time, but I always wanted to use my work bench and heavier weights for sculpting, but was afraid of hurting myself from improper form. This tape makes it so simple. Jake walks you through each procedure and explains exactly which muscles are being worked. Most tapes perform the procedures in such a fast pace that I was always skeptical about even trying them out. Jake explains, as a model performs the procedure with proper form and technique in a slow smooth pace. Well, I'm on my way to the body I know I was meant to have. Thanks Jake for making a tape for beginners like myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Body by Jake Strength Training 101, January 8, 2003
By A Customer
I found this dvd to be extremely valuable when it comes to learning how to use weights. Jake's instruction is clear and very helpful. I was always nervous about using weights at the gym, now I have enough confidence to give it a try. I always wanted to use weights at home, but I never knew what I needed. Now I do. I know how much to lift, how many times and the best part is now I know how to sculpt the body I have always wanted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Way To Get Started In Weight Lifting, January 27, 2004
By LKW "arawandme" (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This a very informative video. Jake walks you through each procedure and lets you know which muscle is being worked and shows you the proper lifting technique. There are no jerky moves. I'd always wanted to use my workbench and weight bar, but was scared I'd use it improperly and do more damage then good. This tape has definitely been a great help. I enjoy working out in my home gym and most of his tapes/DVD's have a program to follow along with. This one doesn't. It shows how to perform a procedure and do a few reps, to get you started, and then moves on to the next and then the next which is nice, but I would have liked it better if he'd have designed it, as with his other workout programs, with a certain # of reps for each procedure. Instead, I watch the procedure, pause it, do my reps, and then unpause it and go to the next and so on. (Tht is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5)...But, all in all, it's a nice starter video for getting into weight lifting.
