Lift Light, Get Lean: 28-day weight-training plan for safe and easy weight loss

I've worked the exercises for 5 weeks and it's really working to tighten things up. I feel better and stronger. I like it contains 2 programs; I'll soon be ready to increase my dumb bell weight. Much less expensive than a personal trainer! Easy to follow and has a daily tracker if you wish to use.

This book looked good but I hesitated because of the price and the number of pages. 'Free Returns' had me confident that if it was bad, I'd send it back so I gave it a try. It's a beautiful book, functional with it's hard cover and spiral binding.I was surprised that all the introductory text is informative and motivational! Usually with exercise books I skip/skim the intro. It's well worth the read. The exercises are clearly pictured and described. There are short-cut lists of routines that give page numbers to the full descriptions. One page number is wrong (typo) on page 90, American Swings are actually on page 108, not 104 as printed.I do think it is well-worth 5 stars, but tabs to the sections would have been helpful. I've made my own for quick reference though.If you're a beginner or intermediate exerciser looking for a good light-weights workout book, this is a winner. It will stay in my library for decades to come.

The book itself is nice, and having a spiral bound backing is helpful. The book recommends diet and aerobic exercise as much as weight training! I know, I know diet and exercise is always the answer, but light weight training is was what I was interested in!Although the pictures are good, the practice is a little confusing. But you can use parts of the book that will work for you.

Such a great concept and I loved the spiral binding and wellness tips. But so many of the exercises incorporate lunges and squats that I couldn't follow the plan. I wish there had been a disclaimer that this plan is unsuitable for those with knee issues (or that non-lunge modifications were offered for the beginner level).I'm surprised that Prevention didn't have more low-impact "beginner" exercises in here, I'm disappointed I wasted my money on this.

I had been looking for something like this , its an easy plan to follow for newbies to weight lifting or like me someone getting back into it. Plus it has two plans to follow , one to begin and a follow up .My doctor is liking the results I am getting in my weight loss and general well being since I started with the program.

Love this book, I lost 4 pounds after doing the first 28 day section. Easy to follow and motivating.

Bought this as a recommendation from my mom and it didn’t disappoint! Very easy to follow and gives you a beginner and intermediate workout plan. My mom and I both saw results in more toning after completing this 28 day plan.

The plan seems sound, but the photos often show women with 3 to 5 pound weights but in instructions it says "lift a challenging but manageable load ,for most women that is approximately 8 pounds" page 158 pounds is a pretty heavy dumbbell, not what is in most photos.
