Editorial Review:

Product Description:
With information on strengthening and toning the legs, buttocks, abs, and back, Women’s Strength Training Anatomy provides full-color, detailed anatomical illustrations of exercises for these hard-to-shape areas. What makes this book unique is that readers can see the muscles at work during each exercise, like an X ray of the body in motion.

Are there definite anatomical differences in the way men and women should build their bodies? According to the best-selling author and illustrator of Strength Training Anatomy, the answer is an overwhelming yes! Exercise variations based on a woman’s unique anatomical features are also covered, helping to isolate muscles and make each exercise more effective.

Make your workouts work harder for you! If you work out to strengthen and shape your body or if you help women get stronger and more defined, this is one book you need for understanding the female form and getting the most from your exercises.

- One of the best illustrations on training anatomy
This book is the women's version of the book "Strength Training Anatomy". Please read my review under that book.

- A little disappointed...
Although this is an informative book, I was a little disappointed that 99.99% of the exercises referred to here were the female upper body only.

The reason that I purchase the book was because I had seen the mens version, but when I was got to the check out screen, Amazon offered me the female version of the same book. So, understandably since i'm a female, I ordered that one instead.

Sad but true, the mens version shows exercises literally from head to toe as where this (female version) book only shows/discusses from the waist up. I'm guessing that's where most men (author included) concentrate on on the female anatomy...:-(

- finally
This is an important book for any woman who is starting or continuing strength training. I bought it after I saw the BodyWorks exhibit last year. Anatomy books before this one usually included the male physique. As women's muscles are different, it is helpful to have these illustrations and explanations. It is also an excellent teaching tool for trainers. I recommend it highly to girls and women of all ages. Very useful in getting to know your body.

- Great lower body exercises and visuals of muscles used
I just reviewed the Strength Training Anatomy book and how I had to buy two because my husband ran off with the other copy to take to work so I decided to review this one as well. This is the same premise, great visuals of the muscles used during each exercise and detailed written description of how to do the exercise. I've been looking for books like these for a while. The female one only covers legs, butt, abs and back. The back is extremely limited but the others give some wonderful exercises. If you are a female looking for a book that tells you which muscles are used with each exercise then I suggest BOTH of Frederic Delavier Strength Training Anatomy books. I've developed a workout routine off these books. I highly recommend them both.
