Book Reviews of The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess

Book Review: I'm Seeing Results
Summary: 5 Stars

I was looking to get back into lifting again and I purchased "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" because I wanted a plan that was specifically targeted for women and this had also good reviews on Amazon.
This book has those good reviews for a reason -- I have been doing the program for about three months and I have lost 6 lbs. and an entire dress/clothing size. I have a NOTICEABLE difference in muscle tone in my upper arms and legs, and around my ab area. I am back to wearing shorts without feeling like a fatty.
On a typical week, I lift two-to-three times, followed by cardio interval training for 30-to-45 minutes and take a spin class on the weekends. To be perfectly honest, it did take about a month before I saw any initial results--stick with it though because my progress has been VERY encouraging in the last two months.
The workouts are challenging and I appreciate that there are new exercises to do every few weeks, which helps nix boredom. I also like doing the lower repetitions with more weight. As far as my lifting progress goes, I have improved from lifting 16 total lbs. during a seated standard press to lifting 40 total lbs. No more "Barbie weights" for me!
As the book advocates, I have started drinking more protein shakes--I highly recommend EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control premixed shakes because they are portable, have 17g of protein and are only 110 calories.
I have had a personal trainer in the past, and this book is helping me receive results that closely mirror that experience.
This book was money well spent!

Summary of The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess

If you believe what most women's magazines tell you, muscles can be "shaped," "toned," and "sculpted" with nothing more than a little dumbbell that weighs less than a can of peas. But muscles aren't modeling clay, and the only way to transform them is to strengthen them. The New Rules of Lifting for Women is for the woman who's ready to throw down the "Barbie" weights and start a strength and conditioning program that will give her the body of her dreams.

The book puts to rest the shop-worn notion that women who train with heavy weights will bulk up. Nonsense! Women simply don't have enough testosterone to pack on muscle like a bodybuilder. Here's the truth: lifting weights not only makes you stronger, it also makes you leaner. In fact, most women would have to run twice as long to receive the same fat-burning benefits as weight lifters.

A better workout in less time may sound too good to be true, but champion trainer Alwyn Cosgrove creates six months' worth of workouts that will build strength, burn fat, and rev up the metabolism. His total body workouts target all the major muscle groups, and each exercise is accompanied by clear black- and-white photographs that illustrate proper technique and form.

A nutrition plan is another key feature of the book. To gain strength you have to feed muscle, and nutritionist CassandraForsythe has designed a regimen to achieve this goal. She strongly recommends small, frequent meals and offers meal plans, along with fifty recipes, to satisfy women's special needs through breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. The New Rules of Lifting for Women will become the standard for smart women who take their fitness goals seriously.
