Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Jane Fonda's New Workout Book
Jane Fonda · 1987
52/100
👎 Skip It
In its day this was a well-illustrated, science-informed update on an already landmark fitness brand, and for 1987 that mattered. Nearly four decades of exercise science later, the routines and nutrition guidance are significantly outdated, and readers are better served by current resources. Worth it as a piece of fitness history, not as practical guidance.
