does anyone have a good programme of weights for a woman to use every week. preferably one that targets all of the body, broken up into different sessions. i'm not afraid of lifitng heavy so suggestions will all be greeted with vigour!

    I am reading through a book call 'The New Rules of Lifting For Women'. The cover says 'lift like a man, look like a goddess'. Gives you a schedule to use and a diet plan. I am going to start this program hopefully tomorrow. There is a forum on MFP for this program. There are a lot of different things you can do. Just have to find what works. This book has made a lot of sense to me. So I will give it a go.

    I like p90x. If you want a leaner look, you can lift lighter. If you want to build more muscle, use heavier weights. The program is all laid out, so there's no guess work on your part. I use it in combination with running/cardio, but the program contains its own cardio routines, so it is a complete program.

    totally agree! or New Rules of Lifting for Life is the more up to date version of NRL4W - think it's a bit easier to follow and also can be used by total beginner and the experts

    Both, I think?

    Also, there is no difference between a workout plan for men/women.

    New Rules series are books

    there's loads of info and group here on mfp....that's how i got hooked
    also groups on facebook for support, motivation and info

    also agree that Jillian Michaels 30ds is not really a weight workout....it's a great workout esp for doing at home alongside weights at the gym
