This book provides women of all ages with exercise programs that will bring benefits in physical fitness, psychological well-being and meeting the challenges of daily life. The book contains detailed, full-color anatomical illustrations for all the exercises; annotations identifying the active and stabilizing muscles; concise how-to instructions for each exercise; identification of the specific muscles that benefit the most from each exercise; suggested modifications for different levels of difficulty; and a glossary of anatomical terms. Exercises are presented individually and then also in pre-designed workouts that let women focus on what they want most to improve. The beginner's and back to basics workouts are overall programs, while stretching exercises help to alleviate stress and fatigue, improve posture and increase flexibility.
