Product Description

Product Description
Every few months a new diet, wonder drug, or workout machine hits the market promising instantaneous results. Unfortunately, none of these fads ever seems to work. That’s because the secret to good health is based on a balanced workout routine, which consists of eating a healthy diet, exercising, resting your body, and doing your best to find balance in all aspects of your life. If you can dedicate yourself to this goal and are willing to work for what you want you can have a healthy and fit body.

Workouts For Dummies by Tamilee Webb, whose buffed body is the star of the Buns of Steel workout video series, will show you how to get the most out of your workout routine no matter what your current level of fitness. If you’re a workout enthusiast this book will help you shape up with easy workouts you can do anytime, anywhere. Even if you’ve never exercised, don’t worry—this book starts with basic topics such as choosing shoes and warming up.

Workouts For Dummie s covers everything you’ll need to create an effective exercise program, starting with an explanation of body types (so you don’t think you’ll end up looking like Cindy Crawford if you don’t already) and the workouts that suit your body type. You’ll also find directions for stretches, aerobic exercises, muscle conditioning (using weights, furniture, exercise bands, and bars), and workouts for different locations (home, office, gym), all with illustrations. Workouts For Dummies also deals with the following topics and much more:

  • Creating a personalized workout
  • Warming up, cooling down, and stretching
  • Preventing common injuries
  • Targeting and toning trouble spots
  • Evaluating equipment, gear, and gadgets
  • Determining your fitness level
  • Working out while traveling
Filled with expert tips, techniques, and step–by–step photos that illustrate over 100 exercises, Workouts For Dummies will help you make exercising an enjoyable part of your life.

From the Author
Workouts for everyone!
Workouts For Dummies gives many different types of workouts for all ages. This book begins with motivating the mind, feeding the soul and only then does the physical come into action to encourage the reader to begin a workout program that is right for them. It helps make a workout a part of your lifestyle instead of a quick fix, and keeps it fun and interesting so you doesn’t get bored and quit. The layout is fun and easy to follow and it gives information about the body and workouts for all sizes, shapes, and ages. Not many fitness books explain body types, but Workouts For Dummies provides information about the different body types and what to expect in a workout. If you haven’t found a workout that you like, it’s because you haven’t read Workouts For Dummies! There are self tests to find your fitness level and workout journals to help keep track of progress.

I am not perfect and even I must work on keeping my body fit and healthy. There are good days and bad days when I really need chocolate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for people who have never worked out before!!, 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I love this book. This is a book for people who are basically brand new to exercising and healthy living, in a sense. The book goes through basic workouts to get anyone started on the road to health. I am an exercise sports science major with a minor in nutrition, and I have reccommended this book, as well as, Nutrition for Dummies, Weight Training for Dummies and Fitness for Dummies, to many of my personal training clients. I love the whole line of books. I love the fact that someone thought to write books that people with no background in the subject area could use, and get something great out of the reading, and especially understand it. My clients have even reccommended the books to other friends and family. I even get referals off of the books, when they are reccommmended. Good job guys.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short of the mark, 14 Jan 2006
Tamilee Webb should stick to the workout videos she plugs within this text. Every other page contains content of questionable relevance, such as basic descriptions of DNA.

The book assumes that you’re a woman which gets frustrating. Being published in 1998 you would have thought that they had proof read it by now.

“You count 7 beats in 10 seconds: 10x7 = 70 beats per minute.” Page 90.

However if you can overlook the mistakes and the content padding, this book does provide a wealth of fitness moves along with tips for doing them in the home.

Not an enjoyable read. Not a complete waste of cash.
