Could someone give me some advice for some kind of resource (book, internet site, etc) to find good strength training exercises? I've been doing the same ones - just changing the weights and reps - for almost a year now. I'm pretty bored and I think my body is too. I dont want major muscles, just some good toning and strengthening.
Thanks for any advice!

    I ordered one a couple years ago from SHAPE magazine's website called 'Do It Right; The 75 Best Body Sculpting Exercises for Women". I still refer to it. It's spiral bound and has a section for each muscle group with multiple exercises using various things like dumbells, stability balls, benches, chairs, etc. I found it very useful and easy to follow, adding some variety into my workout. You should check the site out to see if you can find something similar.

    Good Luck!

    Look up P90X on teambeachbody.com It's a great home fitness workout that will help tone your body. Probably the best I've seen so far.

    The problem with P90X is that I can't afford it. I agree with Youtube. It even shows you proper form.

    Bob Harper's book called "Are You Ready" has a great section in the back of the book with all kinds of strength training workouts with pictures, explanations, and suggestions for what to do when. The rest of the book has great info in it too!

    I've used these sites to get lots of different exercises, as well as lots of great info:

    http://www.strength-training-woman.com/strength-training-exercises.html
    (I actually went through and printed all the exercises on here and made a booklet out of it for handy reference when I'm working out - otherwise when I'm trying to change it up, I wouldn't remember the other exercises and would have to keep running to the computer! )

    Hope these help! :flowerforyou:
