Step-by-step photos and instructions illustrate the Winning Workout, which emphasizes exercise with free weights to tone and strengthen muscles by requiring them to move against resistance. The program is rounded out with low-impact aerobics and stretching sections for cardiovascular endurance and flexibility. Smith is upbeat and encouraging, stressing the mental rewards of physical fitness and healthful eating, and urging the reader to "make a realistic assessment of what you can do to improve your looks, and to begin to accept those things about yourself that are hereditary and unchangeable." Particularly welcome are charts and pictures that explain the location and function of the various muscle groups and their response to exercise. Jones was formerly editor of New Body magazine.) - https://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Smiths-Winning-Workout-Weights/dp/0894715291
      • found: Kathy Smith's website, viewed June 17, 2024:Meet Kathy (Forbes calls Kathy Smith a "Fitness Titan" for good reason. With her iconic library of exercise videos, Kathy has stood at the forefront of the fitness and wellness industries for more than 30 years. The daughter of an airforce pilot, Kathy grew up in Brazil, Alabama, Hawaii, Texas and Illinois, before finally settling in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s-- the birthplace of the health and fitness movement. During her early days in LA, Kathy explored her passion for exercise, first as an avid runner (running her first marathon in 1975), and later attending fitness classes alongside future fitness phenom Jane Fonda. Kathy began teaching her own classes, combining calisthenics with aerobics, and was quickly approached by a record producer to launch one of the first exercise albums: an LP with Kathy's audio instructions and a poster demonstrating the moves. The success of her LP gave way to VHS/DVD workouts...and the rest is fitness history. With her lifelong mission to "inspire the best in all people," Kathy has served as a contributing expert to countless media outlets, beginning with her own hosted show on the USA network, Alive and Well. She offered exercise routines to an ever-expanding audience, first as a correspondent on The Today Show and then as a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. And when The Oprah Winfrey Show devoted an episode to overcoming the challenges of menopause, Kathy shared breakthrough techniques from her bestselling book Moving Through Menopause.) - https://www.kathysmith.com/about/
