The New Rules of Lifting for Women
In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra
Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength,
conditioning, and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women
work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not
aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong
body.
This book refutes the misconception that women will “bulk up” if they
lift heavy weights. Nonsense! It’s tough enough for men to pack on
muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle:
natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean,
healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote
weight loss—it’s that simple.
The program demands that women put down the “Barbie” weights, step
away from the treadmill, and begin a strength and conditioning regime for
the natural athlete in every woman.
The New Rules of Lifting for Women, now in paperback, will change the way
women see fitness, nutrition, and their own bodies.
