Summary of Workouts for Dummies

Motivate your mind and shape your body with the exercise expertise of international fitness educator Tamilee Webb. Whether you're an avid gym rat or you're just looking for a few simple workout routines to do in the privacy of your own home, Buns of Steel" expert Tamilee can help you design a new workout especially geared for your body type and personal goals.

Workouts For Dummies gives you step-by-step instructions and plenty of photos so you can create an exercise program that's perfect for you. Discover the secrets of warming up, cooling down, and stretching; listen to your body to prevent injury or strain; identify your body type and the best workout plan; and start toning and working your upper and lower body. Workouts For Dummies also features practical advice for special workouts at home, in the office, on the road, or in the gym, and a section devoted to workouts for seniors, kids, and pregnant women. So get fit fast in For Dummies style with Tamilee and start feeling like a new person--the person you really want to be.


Workouts for Dummies by Tamilee Webb, whose buffed body is the star of the Buns of Steel workout video series and frequent TV appearances, is a fine source of motivation, information, and specific workout programs. Even if you've never exercised, don't worry--the book starts with topics as basic as choosing shoes and warming up. Then it covers everything you'll need to create an effective exercise program, starting with an explanation of body types (so you don't think you'll end up looking like Cindy Crawford if you don't already) and the workouts that suit your body type. The book gives directions for stretches, aerobic exercises, muscle conditioning (using weights, furniture, exercise bands, and bars), and workouts for different locations (home, office, gym), all with illustrations. This is a lively, unintimidating workout guide, a good companion if you're just starting out. (A little self-serving, though: one chapter is devoted to "Tamilee's Top Ten Workout Videos.")

Confused by all the For Dummies exercise books? If you want a more strenuous strength-training program using free weights and gym machines, try Weight Training for Dummies--it explains how and illustrates exercises. If you're a beginner, Fitness for Dummies is a terrific introduction to exercise and a precursor to this book, with an overview of everything you need to know to get started safely and effectively. --Joan Price
