Terrific home workout book
This is one of the best home workout books. Equipment needed is 1) low-weight dumbbells, 2) ankle weights, and 3) step or weight bench (but I use one of those large exercise balls as my bench, with shoulders on the ball and core muscles used to keep trunk of body in straight, bench-like position). This may seem like a lot to get started, but an efficient, effective program can be built from this foundation. The exercises work every muscle group, the instructions are very easy to follow, and the suggested form protects the back (with many exercise programs, the muscles get nice and strong, but the back gets injured).

Great Book!
I've looked at a few workout books that are more for women and ended up buying this one and Joni Hyde's other book "Workouts for Women - Weight Training" because they have clear pictures and simple instructions. The information is laid out in such a say that you can immediately put it into practice - instead of wading through words, words, words.

tougher than it looks
Each of the circuits are pictured in condensed form on one page, then in detailed form on following pages for easy access. I ran copies of the condensed forms and made notes on the back of each for gym use, and I use the book at home. The fast pace will have you breathing, especially if you have been "relaxed" at exercise for a while, as I have. The variation will help avoid boredom. Sometimes I do just one circuit, then follow with "The 5 Tibetans"; sometimes 2 or more circuits. It allows for flexibility with workouts.
