Summary: Good, motivating book on women's body sculpting
Comment: This book is written by an experienced personal trainer who has trained average women into more stronger and attractive women. While the book is very gym and special-machine orientated, it is very straight forward in how a woman can sculpt the body that she wants. It describes how to train and perform the exercises as well as successful case studies. There is also section dealing with pregnancy. At the end of the book are several inspiring stories of women who have overcome obstacles, such as overweight, eating disorders and life-threatening injuries to become national level fitness competitors. I liked the book so, much that I bought a couple extra copies for gifts to fitness-orientated female relatives.

Summary: LOVE THE BOOK!!
Comment: This book is one of the best book out for women if you use common sense.It really does help a person get toned and not bulky due to the intensity factor,,,i would say this may not be a book for a novice,,so i suggest trying out the excerises with a pt first just so u know u are doing them right,,,but he really does give u a varity of options to choose from which i like...and really shows u how to put together your own training routine,,

Summary: perfect
Comment: I have been looking for something like this for a long time. The book catergorizes the muscle groups and informs you of the correct way to perform he exercises to maximize your workout. The book also informs of alternative ways to perform the exercises (machine, free wieghts, 'at home' or all three. The book also comes with a DVD which demonstrates some of the exercises.

Summary: An exercise bible
Comment: I have the older version of this - didn't realize there was a new one, so will be sure to buy it. I love this book. It offers enough variety so that you can work every single part of your body without your muscles getting too used to one movement. Also, I have alot of spinal issues & find that there is so much variety that I can have a complete routine just like anybody else without hurting myself. I also ordered the Look Great Naked Diet book. Can't wait to get it. Great work Brad!!!

Summary: Excellent and outstanding!!
Comment: I recently purchased this book with dvd. It only took a few
seconds for me to realize that this is an outstanding
program. The dvd is very well organized. It does not jump around. Brad starts with the right sequence of muscles to exercise first. Thank you.
The pace in explaining the exercise, movement, the
model (Jan) executing the moves is perfect--not too fast, not too slow. I was especially impressed that alternative equipment usage was demonstrated in the dvd for those of us (like me) who can no longer make it to the gym (at least daily).
Most fitness books (and I have many) only demonstrate moves
from the gym and offer no alternatives.
This book is a MUST for any personal trainer as a refresher--plus you will learn as it can be an excellent instruction tool. It is a must for anyone who wants to workout but does not want to be overwhelmed with a bunch of fluff, junk, boasting--you WILL NOT find that in this book or on the dvd.
To me, Brad has a gift of instructing, teaching, and he walks the walk. Again, most in this industry have the bodies and can execute moves, but cannot teach it to the average person. A beginner, intermediate, or advanced exerciser will NOT be bored, discouraged, or lost. YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS BOOK. IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY.
Though I am a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I am writing this from the user's persective.

If you're a woman who's serious about strengthening and sculpting your physique, expert trainer Brad Schoenfeld provides a progressive program with a variety of resistance exercises for each muscle group. This second edition of Sculpting Her Body Perfect updates the 1999 book and adds new exercises, notably many that can be done at home rather than at a gym. The exercises, using free weights, machines, bands, and cables, are well illustrated with clear photographs. Personal stories and photos of female fitness competitors and body builders make it seem as though this book is aimed at women aspiring to the competitive level, although it does start with a beginner's program and progresses through the advanced level. The abdominal section still focuses on creating visually appealing abs with no mention of core conditioning (also known as functional training or stabilization), which trains the abdominals for daily life. (For that approach, see Athletic Abs by Scott Cole and Tom Seabourne.) This book is a fine addition to your training library, whether you want a progressive program or simply an assortment of exercises to choose from. It's recommended for serious exercisers who want a varied strength program. --Joan Price
