Ok,,,,, I'm so siked about getting this book - I've read some reviews and noticed some of my MFP friends speak highly of it and boy oh boy I seen some results....the one thing that kinda concern me is the 6 month program being to repetitious and not having to do cardio - pls give me your thoughts on this and why would you recommend this book to someone.....and would you recommend this book to a newbie to lifting or is it friendly enough for a newbie to strength training begin with?

It didn’t come in the mail yet but I may go to the library to stick my nose in it because I'm so eager..........I'm ready to LIFT!!!

I reposted with the correct name in the title for clarity........

  • i would recommend this book to someone new to lifting who needs a structured program to at least get started. There's a lot of unconventional wisdom in the fitness world that causes women to shy away from heavy lifting--this book will change that.

    There IS cardio--several stages require intervals AFTER your workout or a circuit that includes plyo--which is better for fat mobilization than steady state cardio.

    In addition, on off days or after you lift you CAN do cardio--you just need a short break in between.
