Great starting place, easy to follow
I am so thrilled that I found this book. I used to be in better shape but the last year and a half I have been battling some health challenges and surgeries. Now, on the mend, I want to get back to where I was. But feel too weak to resume my favorite yoga class. I just started this 12 week program. Iâm planning to do it in 14 weeks because I want to add on the optional prep weeks. I want to build back slowly. I am very excited about the layout of this book and the progression towards more difficulty. I expect great results. My preteen children are interested in participating with me as well.

Use this plan. Stop looking for something better.
I love this book. It is spiral bound so it lays flat when open. The workout lasts approximately 30 minutes which is perfect for parents with afterschool activity commitments and limited time to exercise. I will add an additional 30 minutes of stationary bike riding using the bikeâs program if I have time, but sometimes I ride the bike on my lifting rest day due to scheduling. I really like riding a stationary bike, but I believe any cardio would be great. I was concerned if I would be challenged with this self study plan. Each week gets more challenging so have faith that it will get harder. Lastly, I feared that I would have no plan once the 12 weeks end. I jumped ahead and read what will happen. We will repeat weeks 9-12 again with slightly heavier weights. I will write a follow up review once I complete week 12.As a former high school athlete now in my late 40s I need weights in my routine. Cardio is not enough. This plan offers a routine that is actually possible to complete without needing a gym and itâs easy to follow. Itâs tough getting started but everything is tougher the older we get.

Helpful exercise strategies
I should take off half a star for the “jumping exercises – which are never good for weights!) but all in all, satisfactory, and I’m enjoying these works out. They’re quick and most of them, reasonable. I can adjust as needed. Book quality is appealing.

Great book!
This book is great if youâre looking for new workout ideas or if youâre just new to working out. I received this book free with my Owmenâs Health app subscription and my daughter liked it so much that I ordered her a copy of it as well. I like thatâs it spiral-bound and has an index showing how-toâs for each exercise.

Great photos of how to lift weighs.

Only okay
Exercises are good (with average explanation in the back of the book) for beginners. However the layout of the weeks is confusing. In the first couple pages there are two âWeek 1â with different splits. Iâll keep the book but suggest the author do a better job.
