About this item
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! Its 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 -- its 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.
