The Body Sculpting Bible For Women by James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera
Publisher Random House Inc.

The Body Sculpting Bible is more than a weight training primer. It is a holistic guide to the art of weight training and all of the individual components that comprise the foundation of a healthy and physically fit lifestyle. It addresses the mental and physical aspects of weight training and tackles necessary dietary and nutrition information that work in tandem to produce a well-proportioned and symmetrical body.

For women (there is also a men’s bible) looking to achieve a sleek, well-toned physique, this is the place to start. The break-in routine for beginners new to the discipline of weight training is set up in an easy series of exercises over a period of two weeks. The routines are concise, easy to follow, and well detailed. Each lift is accompanied by clear photographs and well-articulated descriptions of how to set up your body to perform the lifts most effectively, and then the lifts themselves.

The chapters are broken down by major muscle group. There are many options for each muscle group to be trained. How many repetitions to do, how heavy a weight to lift, the magic of compounding and supersets, are all subjects well addressed by two experts in the field of weight training.

This is a results oriented guide. Keep it at hand and refer to it over and over while learning the fundamentals of weight training. Follow the author’s training guidelines and you will start to see results within 14 – 30 days. There is no greater motivation than the improved strength and muscle tone that come from dedication to a well-founded weight training routine. As you progress there are additional routines to take you to the next level.
