Millions of women have discovered the benefits of home fitness, and female consumers spend millions annually on home gym equipment. Working out at home can be the ideal setting for a shapeover, but many women are intimidated by the concept or don’t know how to make the most of their equipment.
In Women’s Home Workout Bible, fitness expert and best-selling author Brad Schoenfeld makes sense of home-based workouts by covering fitness routines for every training style, budget, and home space. The full-color guide includes 12 four-week programs for conditioning, sculpting, and core stability, plus three levels of fat-burning cardio workouts, all customizable to fit the reader’s goals. It also has consumer buying tips for products and guidelines for making the most of any space for a home gym. Applicable to any budget, the book provides plans for creating a personal gym, or adding to an existing home gym, on budgets of $100, $500, $1000, and over $2500.
Women’s Home Workout Bible is a fitness manual, buying guide, and personal trainer all in one. It can help women get the body they want without leaving the house—or breaking the bank.
