For many people, the term "weight-training" brings visions of men turning from 90-16. weaklings into super muscular specimens. Bruce Randall, a former Mr. Universe, now shows that weight-training can be the most healthy, easy-to-perform exercise for everyone-from busy executives to housewives to growing children.

With more than 190 photographs and accompanying text the author illustrates a three-stage weight-training program that can be carried on at home. He answers all the specific questions for the beginner: How often should you train? How long should each training session be? How much weight should you use at the start of training? What happens when a person stops training? Why should you train with weights? What are the specific forms of weight training ("pumping up," "sets," "reps") safety hints, training tips (when to exercise, proper attire).
