Hey all!
I am primarily a runner with weights on the side..fair bit of history with weights (I used to be a weights gal with cardio on the side...go figure) but a bit rusty.
When my marathon is over in 3 weeks I plan on a few months of serious cross training for good base building, including quite a bit more weights with the goal of adding some muscle mass and all the beautiful things that go with it. (I have killer legs now, but my arms wave bye bye for tooooo long)
So...if you had to recommend just one book for a not-so-new-but- a-bit-rusty gal for lifting, what would it be?
I think I am looking less for theory and more for a "do these exercises:" type book. Program design help. I could hire one of the overweight-lazy-never-once-seen-them work-out personal trainers from my gym to design a program but considering their state of fitness I wouldn't trust them farther than I could throw them. They strike me as the "little lady here is a 5 lb dumbbell and let me show you the machines" types.
Excuse me...I am a bit high on lack of sleep today!
