Imagine if you could achieve your body's optimal fitness, without ever stepping foot inside a loud, over-crowded, expensive gym.
Such is the future as
Brad Schoenfeld sees it, Diet.com expert blogger, fitness expert and author of the new book
Women's Home Workout Bible (Human Kinetics, November 2009). In
Women's Home Workout Bible, Brad strives to show you how you can create your own personalized training program, and then follow through with that program right in your own home. The best part? This book outlines a program for
any budget!
If you're one of the millions of gym-goers that's spending too much money for your fitness club membership and displeased with your experience,
Women's Home Workout Bible is going to be your go-to guide for a total home training program.
Why should you consider a home gym? Well there are no hidden fees or contracts, to start. Nor will there ever be a need to "freeze" your membership or negotiate fines for cancelled memberships. And with around 40% of gym members canceling their membership within 12 months, according to one study*, that's a lot of cancellation fees! (*

You
can achieve your fitness goals at home, and you
can do it yourself... with a little guidance from Brad and
Women's Home Workout Bible. "To do things right, " Brad says, "you need a plan of action."
You'll begin by creating, or "claiming", your workout space within your home. Decide how much space you are willing to devote to this area. Ask yourself if it will still allow for "flow" in the room, and whether or not the space is the appropriate temperature or has proper ventilation.
Next, you'll use Brad's guide to purchasing equipment. Here he outlines 4 categories, with different levels of equipment for different budgets: $100, $500, $1000 and $2500+.
Finally, you'll devise your own exercise strategies and routines, customizing them for your own target areas and goals.
