 Body Flex Body Magic
By A
Where has this book been hiding? When will Ms. Langer update it with a revised edition? This is one of the best books on weight training I have read, and I have read a number of them. My wife and I both use it in our weight workouts, so it’s not plainly for women, and we both have learned things from it that our personal trainers never taught us. The pictures showing the start/finish and midpoint of each exercise, as well as the clear and concise explanatory text, make it easy to comprehend the precise movements required, and to keep out of the way of mutual mistakes. The potpourri of exercises for each muscle group, the inventive new exercises originated by Ms. Langer, and the personal perceptivities she shares from her own experience, make this a highly utile book for men and women of all ages (I’m 50) and experience levels, from novice to experienced body builders. It’s merely a marvelous book!

Fantastic book with elaborated descriptions & photos!
By A
I’m somewhat new to the world of fitness but have been working for with regards to a year now on getting more lean, muscular, and healthy. Toward those goals, I’ve purchased 7 books on muscle & strengh development specific to women. Body Flex-Body Magic is unquestionably my favorite! Ms. Langer, along with co-author Bill Reynolds, have staged a big amount of data in a clear and concise way. They have disunited the book into basic, intermediate, and modern level training routines; within those categories, they provide elaborated data on how to do the exercises, what they accomplish, and mutual mistakes, along with photographs of each exercise. I find the mutual errors information, specific to each exercise, specially helpful as it points out positional faults that may lead to injury or just plain ineffectual results. The book also holds great selective information on nutrition, aerobic exercise, stretching, bodysculpting/bodybuilding, and working out while pregnant.
My most eminent recommendation!

GREAT BOOK THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED!
By JOE-JOE BOOKS
I cannot say sufficient good things in regards to this book. It is very well put together and informative. I found the counsel and the illustrations to be among the finest in any bodybuilding book I have yet seen. Langer gives straightforward info that is practical for any level of fitness. Both men and women may use the counsel in this book. It was well worth the price I paid for both my wife and I.
