This review is from: Bodyfitness for Women: Your Way to Physical Perfection (Paperback)

I love this book! It is jam packed with info to help you achieve a buff body. In the past I have found many of "Musclemag International's" books to be slim in both pages and information. Not this book. It packs a walloping 320 pages and is larger than average. The material given covers almost everything you would want to know about perfecting your physique. It includes not only tons of detailed info. on weight training and nutrition, but also gives information on makeup, surgery, fitness competitions etc. Lots of solid advice. The book also includes a number of black and white photos of fitness models like Debbie Kruck, Brandi Carrier, Monica Brant and others. I think this is one of the best fitness books for women on the market!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, January 9, 2003

This review is from: Bodyfitness for Women: Your Way to Physical Perfection (Paperback)

I have had this book since it first came out a few years ago and find myself flipping through it often for advice. There are lots of inspiring pictures. The advice given in this book is very useful for the novice or experienced fitness enthusiast. There is information about equipment, routines, diet recommendations, competition advice, terminology, how to avoid injuries, working out during pregnancy, advice on how to do a workout at home, cosmetic surgery and the list goes on and on. I sell most of the books that I buy but this one I will keep forever. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in getting in shape the right way.

1.0 out of 5 stars All Fluff and No Real Content, January 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bodyfitness for Women: Your Way to Physical Perfection (Paperback)

I bought this book because I'm a gym and fitness addict and also suscrible to Oxygen magazine which is a MuscleMag publication. I expected this book to provide some real information on women's fitness and bodybuilding. I was really disapointed to see that it was nothing more than pictures of fitness models and fitness competitors. All the topics covered in the book are only covered on a very, very superficial level. I did not learn a single thing that I didnt' already know. This book really isn't worth the money, in fact I ended up returning it and buying another bodybuidling book published by Human Kinetics.
