Guidelines of Cross Training for Women: Why woman can and should lift like a man to look like a goddess
Are you sick of asking people to help you open jars, lift boxes, and carry your bags? Do you want to become fitter, stronger, and faster with an easy-to-follow and proven exercise regimen? Are you interested in weight training to build strength and muscle but are worried that lifting weights will turn you into The Incredible Hulk? Unlike the mistaken long-held notion, women are NOT the weaker sex. We are perfectly capable of doing the things men do – be it leading countries, changing tires, and yes… lifting weights. Weight training and lifting have typically been seen as part of a man’s world, but they actually need to be part of a woman’s fitness routine, too. Lifting weights has been shown to lower the risk of osteoporosis, aid in weight loss, reduce aches and pains, and improve core strength. But despite these benefits, many women still shy away from lifting for fear of becoming too bulky or appearing manly. You don’t need to end up looking like a man or losing your feminine curves to build core strength where it counts. This guide will show you how to do weightlifting the right way so you can reap the health benefits and finally get the stunning body of your dreams. If the idea of hard-rock abs, a toned, sleek body, and improved health all around appeals to you, then lifting is definitely the way to go. In this easy-to-follow book, you will And much more. Lifting is not just for guys. In fact, the benefits women can gain are directly related to many gender-specific health issues we struggle with, like bone strength and weight gain. You have an easily accessible defense against these health challenges in the form of weightlifting. Build your strength and endurance, empower yourself to face all the challenges life brings your way… and look great while doing it.

Women need to train just as hard as men, but not in the same fashion, and Guidelines of Cross Training for Women shows you how!
There isn’t any groundbreaking information that I haven’t heard before, but it was a good refresher and reminder on what I need to do to build muscle and see success. There is a pretty detailed anatomy lesson in the Building Muscle section that is easy to read and understand, and the text even includes diagrams, something which I greatly appreciated. I also liked the ‘Key Points’ at the end of each chapter, further driving the main points of each chapter home. I liked the straightforward language and how there wasn’t a lot of fluff but factual information that can easily be referenced over and over again.
There is a lot of repetition that is redundant but also important to drive home certain points and to educate the reader. I do not regret reading this one bit and see it as a great refresher for those of us that have some education in the subject, and amazing for those that are just starting out.
*I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book which I received from the publisher through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. All views and opinions expressed are completely honest, and my own.

Similar to the other book by the same author that i just reviewed, I received this Advanced Review Copy from the Librarything website. Basically its lots of good advice about diet and exercise, and the health benefits of improving your lifestyle. Weight lifting does help with your mood improve including anxiety and depression, which is why I had need to get back to the gym. These two books are very similar, so if you interested in the subject I would just buy one of them. They are are short read of 90 to 160 pages with lots of pictures, so its a good reference book for someone over 50 is beginning an exercise program.
