Intimidated by the thought of figuring out which gym is for you, much less walking into one and trying to work out? Baffled by the difference between Pilates, yoga, and yogilates? Unable to tell the difference between a barbell and a dumbbell, much less use either? Then this guide is for you!

There is a bewildering array of workout regimens and gyms out there today, and little discussion of their respective relative merits. Should you do twenty minutes of cardio or fifty? Workout on the treadmill or a bike? What is cardio anyway? And why should a woman bother to lift weights to strengthen her chest? Well, this book has the answers.

This book also discusses workouts for the celebrity as well as workouts easy enough to do at home, parses the trends, and breaks it down so that you can pick the best workout without spending hundreds of dollars on expensive books, videos, and workout classes!
