Grade 7 Up-Fitness expert Vedral offers up a practical and doable workout specifically aimed at helping adolescent girls tone and firm their muscles using free weights. The 20-minute routine alternates upper-body work one day with lower-body work the next, and requires only three sets of inexpensive dumbbells and a bench or step. The author emphasizes sound nutrition and exercise information, dispelling common myths related to weight training, offering balanced advice on eating, and listing tips for maintaining fitness in problem situations. She writes enthusiastically, encouraging girls to strive for excellence in their personal health and life choices. The exercises are clearly described, and illustrated with photos of teens performing the routines. The reason for each exercise is stated, and tips for doing it correctly are included.
