These exercises work very
well for men!
The moves and the principles
are the same for men as they are for women. Both sexes can follow the instructions
to determine the weight that's right for them -- they should be able to lift the
weight just eight times in good form before the muscle gets fatigued and needs
to rest.
Most men can start with
slightly heavier weights than women use, and they end up lifting more weight than
women of the same age are able to lift. Strong Women, Strong Bones and Strong
Women Stay Young (revised edition) both include a chapter specifically for men.
Many readers report that their
husbands start strength training with them - it's a great activity for couples!
