Strong Women Stay Young

"Nelson's book is very accessible. The weight lifting routines are easy to follow,
and they do work. They have helped me to become much trimmer and stronger,
and I can really feel it when I'm walking or bike riding. The chapters on bone density
and osteoporosis are informative and will definitely motivate a person to start
the program. I've read a lot of exercise and diet books over the years, and this is
definitely the most useful and reliable."

"This is the revised edition of "Strong Women Stay Young", and in this edition there have been quite a few changes in the basic weight-training routine offered in the original edition of this book. The author offers a series of eight weight-training exercises which can be performed at home with equipment consisting only of a set of ankle weights and a set of dumbbells. The basic workout includes a new (in this edition) and very effective warm-up exercise, then three leg exercise done with ankle weights, three arm exercises to be performed with free weights, and finally a calf-stretching exercise done using your own body weight. The instructions for doing each exercise are very clear. Another great feature of this book (compared to some other weight-training books for women) is that the models shown doing the excercises look like real women, and many of them are even older women.

This book is aimed primarily at older (post-menopausal) women who want to maintain their bone density. However, as a woman in my forties who wanted to start a weight-training program at home, I found it to be right on target for my needs as well. I've been using the program for a few months, and now I've added some additional exercises for the abdomen given in the last part of the book."
