Great book, great lady, great gift
I have been following Ashley Nicole on social media for many years and I love her personality and her content. To have a home workout guide to use as home has been invaluable. The modifications she shows for both age and arthritis are very helpful. I highly recommend this for any women 40+ and it also makes a great gift!

Just needs modifications
I like this book a lot, however the first day of exercises made me so sore for days afterwards. Would be better if there was more of a beginner version or variations. Otherwise, I like her a lot!

Excellent book with realistic routines and exercises my trainer recommends
I wanted this book because I typically use a phone app to do my workouts, but sometimes I don’t want to have to keep pulling my phone out to reference during a workout. This book is very convenient. It shows many of the same exercises that I already do with clear pictures and instructions. I like the layout of the book – it’s very easy to follow. The book has a sturdy, good quality cover that can take a beating. There’s plenty of room to write alongside the exercises, making it easy to track how you’re doing. Given that this book teaches realistic routines and tested exercises that my own personal trainer recommends, I find it to be an excellent value.

Excellent workouts with good variety and fun too!
I almost didn’t get this book because I just turned 60. Was I ever delighted she addresses people who are 50 and 60 in here too! I just finished the first workout and it took me about 45 minutes since I needed to flip to the instruction pages and read the instructions. I expect once I understand the different exercises it will only take around 30 minutes. The warm up was fun! There is a lot of variety and some moves I haven’t done before. There is space for each day to record how many reps and the amount of weight used for three sets of each exercise. There is a different workout for every day for 28 days (though about two days a week are designated for rest and active recovery.) I am so looking forward to doing all 28 days. I found I needed to go with lighter weights than usual when learning new exercises so I could focus on form and not risk hurting myself – especially as she encourages explosive moves. My only wish is there’d been a video of the exercises. The pictures are great and they really help, but there were a few moves I would’ve liked to see someone actually perform. But overall this is an excellent, fun workout program and definitely worked my muscies and most importantly I really enjoyed doing this! The book is beautifully designed and the layout works well. It’s a little frustrating at first having to flip back and forth between the workout page for the day and the instructions for each exercise but this was a wise layout as I expect it will help with finding exercises in the future. And once I know how to do all the exercises it is really going to be so great to have a 28 day plan I can return to and do again and again, increasing weights used. You do need dumbbells to do this and she also uses kettlebells and bands. If you have those you are good to go! I highly recommend!

Workout books
Very good book with a lot of information. Has pictured to describe work out movements. Has space where you can write to follow your progress in each of the workouts. Easy to follow and read.

Great resource if you have the equipment and commitment
There’s a lot to like here – there’s some solid, if brief, analysis of how women’s bodies change in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, broad advice about motivation and working with soreness or tiredness… a 28-day workout plan with progressive workouts and a dedicated page/chart for each day, a guide to each exercise in the back. Occasionally, these exercises include a modified option. I really appreciate that the book is spiral-bound and includes a bookmark that hooks on.I always think a “what you’ll need” is necessary before you buy the book, so here it is: a yoga mat, dumbbells (light – 2-5 lbs, medium – 8-12 lbs, and heavy – 15+ lbs), resistance band loops (light, medium, and heavy), water bottle and towel, medium-weight kettlebells (optional). This is often where I get stymied with this sort of thing. Unless you already have all these things, they are *not* inexpensive to acquire, especially heavier weights and kettlebells.I’ll also be honest that I didn’t enjoy these workouts. I’m going to wait a few months and try it again fresh, but it’s important to find movement you enjoy to achieve building strength, endurance, and balance… or else you won’t do it!

Needs More Details on How & Safety
Not for a beginner. I was expecting more instruction on how to do the weights and exercises. After reading a few pages and looking at the photos, I knew I couldn’t do this without an accompanying explanation video. IF the author could put one together, or come up with better safety and instructions on the safest and most correct way to do these exercises, that would make this an awesome product. I know from talking to my son that you must do these with the proper positions. The model was beautiful, but I’d rather have more instructions on the best way to do the exercises.
