Product Description
Workout Advice for Smart Women
The two secrets of weight-loss success that people who have kept off the weight have discovered. Pair a safe, sensible diet plan with a sane workout and you'll get the body you've always wanted. The good news is both of these secrets are now available in the latest book from Weight Watchers.

Weight Watchers combines the extraordinary, fat-burning power of a weight-training routine with Weight Watchers 1*2*3* Success weight-loss plan, the phenomenal program that has helped millions of people lose weight.

Whether you're fighting a few extra pounds, struggling with post-pregnancy weight gain or battling a lifelong problem, this book has everything you need. The core of this book revolves around the scientific fact that muscle is a metabolically-active tissue, meaning it uses calories even when you're inactive. Weight Watchers provides you with the insight and information you need to increase your muscle mass so you're able to burn more calories--and possibly lose weight--even while you're at rest.

Weight Watchers The Fit Factor includes:

  • The latest facts and news on the role of exercise in weight loss
  • Safe, simple stretches
  • A thorough exercise routine designed to help you lose the fat and increase muscle
  • Illustrated exercises for building strength and toning
  • An easy, satisfying 2-week eating plan, plus information on the nutritional needs of women in their 40s
This book is designed to accommodate the lives of busy women: the simple exercises can be done at home (no gym membership required!) by any woman at any fitness level; the meal plan is created with speed--and taste--in mind. So, no matter what your fitness level, after embarking on the Weight Watchers plan you'll feel strong, more energetic and healthier in no time!

From the Publisher
The Fit Factor includes:
Easy-to-understand information on the changing needs of your body as you age
10 no-sweat stength-training exercises to help you get strong
Cardiovascular workouts to make you fit
Great yoga and stretching exercises to keep you flexible

A delicious and good-for-you menu plan based on Weight Watchers 1-2-3 Success Plan

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensible and Informative, May 8, 2001
By Mary Morris "good cook" (Darby, MT United States) - See all my reviews
This book is logically broken down into three parts: 1) why exercise is the key to weight loss, 2) how to exercise, and 3) what our bodies need for nourishment to stay fit. The workout pictures are extremely helpful as is the 4-week menu plan implementing Weight Watcher's 1-2-3 Success Point Values plan. This book has become a true companion and guide for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is truly interested in losing weight sensibly and keeping it off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice supplement to Weight Watchers food plan, June 9, 2001
By K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
To lose weight successfully, experts often suggest a combination of a good food plan, exercise and motivational techniques and suggestions. This book is an excellent basic guidebook for those new to exercise. While there are more detailed books out there, this one provides clear directions and pictures to help anyone get fitter and healthier. Combine this with a balanced eating program and you'll lose weight more quickly. Just remember- no book will keep the fork from your mouth or put your feet in those walking or running shoes. But if you're truly motivated, this will give you the guidance you need to accomplish your goals.
