Product Description Body By Jake-Strength Training 101 for Women is geared for women of all ages and is designed to give them confidence with weights and strength training both at home and in the gym. It teaches the proper technique, form and vocabulary while working all areas of the body including legs, glutes, back, abdominals, chest and arms. Amazon.com Learn the basics of low-weight, high-repetition strength training with Hollywood trainer Jake. In this 40-minute video, Jake instructs carefully and comprehensively while a young, fit, female exerciser demonstrates each exercise. The clear instruction is aimed at beginning level, with exercises for all major muscle groups. This is an instructional guide rather than a workout--if you want to use it as a workout, pause the DVD to complete your reps before going on to the next exercise. You'll need dumbbells, a barbell, and an adjustable weight bench with leg curl and leg extension (all the items in the Body by Jake equipment set). Since no alternatives are shown (e.g., dumbbells instead of barbell for several appropriate exercises), this DVD seems more appropriate as an instructional guide for working out with the Body by Jake equipment (or equivalent) rather than for general weight training at home. --Joan Price
This is a great "101" tutorial, which starts by showing you what kit you'll need (i.e. a basic home gym) - adjustable weight bench (with leg curl, leg extension, butterfly), staright bar, 2x dumbell bars (or free weights), 90 lbs of weight plates to load.It would have been nice to see alternatives (e.g. using a Swiss ball/chair) for those who don't have the funds, or the space, for a bench set-up. Jake also explains basic terminology - reps, sets, form, intensity.Its a nice set of demos (props for including two abdominal exercises), with tips on good form/technique.LOWER BODY:- stationary dumbell lunge- leg curl extension (seated)- calf raises (on a step, with/without free weights)- crossover bicycle (laying on back)ABS:- reverse crunch (laying on back)- upper torso lift (face down - cobra)UPPER BODY:- barbell bench press (laying on back)- dumbell chest fly (laying on back)- pullover butterfly/dumbell (laying on back)- dumbell row (kneeling one leg on bench)- seated military press (overhead barbell)- side lateral raise (standing) - good tips on wrist/palm positions- triceps extension (standing) - good tips on form/position- dumbell kickback (kneeling one leg on bench)- biceps curl (seated)- preacher curl (seated)Agreed with other reviewers - if you want to use this as a 'class', you will need to pause the DVD and perform the reps, then move onto the next exercise.Bravo to Jake for mentioning the importance of abdominal work, to help strengthen the back. I think this sort of basic primer should be in everyone's collection - it would probably prevent a lot of injuries (men and women!). Encouraging, non-threatening, and great to return to after a break from regular training. I'm putting this alongside my Paul Chek DVDs - it deserves a place. Highly recommended.
