Book Reviews of The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess
Book Review: A Great New Workout
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been a gym rat for a few years now and was looking for something new to do. I'd been doing a lot of cardio, aerobics classes and have trained for and done a triathlon. I have even done some weight training before. But all I ever did with weights was the typical machine circuit with a few free weights thrown in. I just didn't really know how to lift the real weights. And then I stumbled across The New Rules of Lifting for Women.
It worked out great for me, a woman with a reasonably good level of fitness already. I've learned how to lift the "big weights", so to speak, and I've noticeably gained a lot of strength. I am roughly 2 months into the workouts and can already do a full unassisted chin-up, which I have never done before in my life. I haven't lost any weight but I have a lot more tone in my arms, back and particularly the back of my thighs and butt, again something I haven't really accomplished before. And, no, I don't look like a model, I'm still short and stocky, but I am a well-toned, stong and fit short and stocky.
If you are new to working out I wouldn't recommend this book as it would probably be rather intimidating. But if you're a woman with a moderate level of fitness already and just looking to mix up your workout this is the book for you. And, in particular, if you're a woman who wants to lift weights and be strong but don't know how, you should totally check this book out.
