The Feminine Legs eBook

By Christine Zane. The legs course in her Bodybuilding for the Woman series, and the most practical of the three.

Seventeen exercises with photographs: seated leg press, leg extensions, half squats, leg curls, three position calf raise, three position leg pulley, seated leg pulley, knee to chest with weight, hyperextension, lying side leg lift, low incline alternate leg raise, hanging knee in, bent over twist, stomach vacuum, flat bench leg raise, donkey calf raise and seated calf raise.

Around them sits the method: setting up a journal, how to train with a partner, a body chart and measurement guide, what to do before and after a workout, breathing, four progressive levels of training, a blunt note that spot training is for reducing only, a glossary, and sections on gaining bodyweight and food supplements.

The journal chapter is the heart of it. Christine treats it as a way to find direction and purpose, not just a training log, and suggests writing the event, then your feelings, then how your body reacted, then any further thoughts, as though talking to another person.
