Anatomy for Strength and Fitness Training For Women

Scientific research has made it clear that a woman's body should be exercised differently from a man's, and that her training program should be adjusted to suit her body type and transformations as she moves through the various life stages.
Anatomy for Strength and Fitness Training for Women is a unique guide, reference work, and graphic education tool suitable for any woman interested in understanding her own body, how it functions during exercise, and how to formulate a personal exercise program.
Over 90 exercises are provided to help you sculpt your entire body with gym weights, free weights, aerobics, and stretching, including:

— Swimming
— Transverse activation in four-point kneeling
— Barbell bench press
— Cable cross-over
— Freestanding barbell squats
— Hip abductor machine
— Seesaw with ball
— Seated low cable pulley rows
— Machine shoulder press
— Dumbbell standing lateral raise
— Rear deltoid machine
— French curl
— Cable tricep push-down
— Supine hip flexion stretch
— Plank to downward-facing dog — Child stretch
— And much more!The exercises are featured in clear anatomical detail and are grouped by aerobic training, abdominals, chest, legs and hips, back and shoulders, arms, and stretches and flexibility. Each exercise incorporates a full-body illustration plus instructions on proper execution and technique. Start and finish positions are shown, and supplementary information is included by way of hints and tips.
Inside this informative 144-page guide, you'll also find a method of assessing your own fitness which you can use to help you choose the correct type of program for your life stage and fitness level. Sample programs illustrate how you can choose a program based on the needs you have established in the assessment.
Build a better you by understanding how your body performs when exercising, with Anatomy for Strength and Fitness Training for Women!

    For a woman in her twenties a healthy body fat percentage would be 23–27 per cent. The equivalent in a man would be 16 per cent. After the age of 45, a healthy woman would have 32 per cent body fat compared with 25 per cent in a man.

    Over the past 19 years, my journey through the health sciences has been paved with brilliant teachers and students along the way. Thank you to my colleagues Sally Lee and Tanya Wyatt, two of the best health and fitness professionals I am likely to ever know, for raising the bar. This book is a creative collaboration. To artist James Berrangé, for your enthusiasm, insight and commitment to this project – without you, this book would just be a good idea. To the team at New Holland and McGraw-Hill, thank you, thank you, thank you.
    A book like this requires a lot of help. Abundant thanks are due to the following:
    • For his mentorship, Professor Graham Louw, Department of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town
    • For her generosity, Caroline Powrie, curator of the Anatomy Museum at Groote Schuur
    • For making our lives simpler, Virgin Active Gym, Long Street, Cape Town
    • Our fantastic models, Lara Turk and Terri Bruning of Cape Town City Ballet

    Proper running footwear is essential. Jogging implies a slower, more leisurely pace compared with running: in jogging the emphasis is on distance, in running the emphasis is on speed
