Amazon.com Review
Any large bookstore has a few shelves of books about exercise and fitness. Usually they fall into one of two categories: basic books meant for people who've never exercised before, and bodybuilding manuals meant for people who do nothing but. Weight Training for Dummies is just about the only book that spans the knowledge gap between the two groups. It has plenty of easy-to-understand instruction for complete beginners, but there's also a lot of information for those who've been training a while. In fact, some veteran gym rats may be startled by the authors' extreme skepticism about nutritional supplements and some popular classes offered in many gyms.

• Decent Overview
23 September, 2009
Useful overview of weight training, though more photos would have been useful, especially in describing how to do the specific exercises. More discussion of the way one can train with multi gym devices would have been helpful as well.

• Disappointing
29 July, 2009
This is the first Dummies book that I'm disappointed in. Disjointed writing predominates. The overall impression is of short segments of writing thrown together without regard to flow of the material. Two complete readings later, I'm still uncertain as to how to put together a workout program that will fit my needs. Perhaps if some of the space devoted to topics other than weight training (yoga, pilates, supplements and bad advice about nutrition) had been dedicated to rounding out the topic of weight training, it would have been more useful. Too much of a single-gender viewpoint is also apparent.

• More Than My Money's Worth!
12 February, 2010
I got my hands on a copy of Weight Training for dummies at a ridiculously low price. Books like this, with nothing but unbiased information, are great for building your knowledge and creating your own opinions. Thanks!

This is an excellent book for beginners, and covers most of the basics. Well organized, easy to read and easy to refer to later on again.
