Good overview on weight training. It has enough information to start your own home workout (both for planning and implementation). Additionally, it touches topics like nutrition and yoga in relation to weight training very lightly.
I guess I confused "for Dummies" with "for skinnies" and thought I'd need this. It was helpful to learn that my grading system for myself can have a sliding scale of what exactly "fitness" means.
I got this in December and by mid-January had injured my shoulder joints, and am still getting physiotherapy 9 months later. Dummy is the truth, I should never have considered lifting weights!
Very helpful for a beginner.
