Having never read a book on strength training before, or any other kind of exercise for that matter, I have no basis for comparison. All I can say is that this book is packed with information that makes me wonder about every woman I know, whether they realize how generally beneficial strength training can be.

This book is geared towards older women (like post-menopausal women), but I felt like a winner for getting the lessons early!

An excellent book. I have used Miriam Nelson as an expert resource for several articles on wellness. She's great and the book is very inspiring.

This had good and useful information (at the time) as well as the exercise program. Look for something newer now though.

This is a well-written book that I think all women should read to understand the importance of muscle and how it affects bone retention or loss. Even further, it shows how easy it can be to maintain your muscle as you age or are going through depleting illnesses (like adrenal fatigue--that's why I picked up the book). The research is excellent, the writing is clear, inviting, and enjoyable, the exercises make perfect sense. Now I just need to get started!
