"In recent years there has been much controversy regarding the use of progressive resistance exercise--weight training--by women. It is the purpose of this book to show how any woman can achieve, maintain, or regain health, strength, and beauty by following the authors\' three-point programme. It provides a comprehensive plan for feminine fitness through weight training, nutrition, and the use of mental preparation. The ability of progressive resistance exercises to re-shape, firm, and redistribute body weight has been established.

The present book Play and Learn Weight Training for Women highlights all the aspects and facts about the weight training for women." (jacket)
