Learn Weight Training in a Weekend is the perfect training partner that helps you develop the best exercise routines for your body. Aimed at both men and women, it introduces you to both free and fixed weights and shows you how to get the maximum results from each type of exercise. Complete Fitness Programme Over a carefully devised, two-day fitness programme Dr Nick Whitehead, one of the first trainers to introduce athletes to the benefits of weight training, takes you through the basic-muscle-improving exercises for your body, using the latest free weight equipment and fixed-weight machines found in most modern gyms. Ten Skills Over Two Days Each day's programme consists of 30 minutes of warm-ups plus four 15-minute exercises to improve the strength of muscle groups in specific parts of the body-trunk, arms, shoulders, and legs. DAY 1 starts with warm-up aerobic exercises, muscle stretching, and simple body tone-ups with free or fixed weights. DAY 2 continues with further warm-ups and more advanced exercises, giving each muscle group a systematic work-out. The author goes on to explain about diet, mental attitude, and medical advice, and he gives tips on joining a gym and how to plan future weight-training schedules.
