Real Fitness for Real Women: A Unique Workout Program for the Plus-Size Woman

"Women don't have to be thin to be fit," writes Rochelle Rice. Fitness is not about weight, but about the body, mind, and spirit. Her exercise program, designed for the physical and psychological needs of plus-size women, aims to empower women to get active and reclaim the joy of movement. Real Fitness for Real Women emphasizes exercising for the health and psychological benefits--and the pleasure of it!--rather than for weight loss.

Most exercise books, videos, and gyms, frankly, are demoralizing for large-size women. They usually emphasize the goal of slimness, with impossibly slender women demonstrating exercise routines that would be uncomfortable, even risky, for large women. Rice, instead, studied the biomechanics of large women and developed a six-week, 25-exercise program based on their particular needs.

Everything you need is here: step-by-step warm-up, aerobic dance (starting with just five minutes), strength training (without weights), stretching, and meditation. Each exercise is explained clearly and most are illustrated by photographs of plus-size women. Unfortunately, the aerobic moves are not illustrated, which can make them confusing to novice exercisers. (An accompanying video would be wonderful.)

Besides the exercise program, Rice emphasizes the emotional and spiritual components: getting motivated, creating support, and battling binges, illustrated using stories about other large women. Rice is a certified fitness trainer with a master's degree in plus-size exercise. --Joan Price

Real Fitness for Real Women: A Unique Workout Program for the Plus-Size Woman is A breakthrough exercise solution that thousands of plus-size women are talking about. In just one session a week, certified fitness instructor Rochelle Rice takes you through a series of special routines that can boost your metabolism, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and make your body more firmno matter what you weigh. You will feel empowered, not pressured energized, not exhausted.

5-Factor Fitness: The Diet and Fitness Secret of Hollywood's A-List

5 Factor Fitness is almost, but not all, of our favorite fitness book. Pasternak has done a good job in setting a realistic and concise fitness and diet regimen. There are a number of positives to recommend good, and some of the negative we find in other books. This is a thin 182 pages, including index. Most sections have really useful content. Some other books are needlessly fluffed have decided to punt upset your gourd dipper from the last page is mercifully when reached. In BFL for Women comes to mind.

Pasternak exercise routine is very short, only 25 minutes from 30 minutes a day, in our opinion, it defines the exercise routine is very good. It is based on free weights and a weight bench. This can be done in the gym or at home with a relatively modest investment (this is a big plus for us). No gimmicks, no fads, no colorful bouncy or stretchy thingies, no thousand dollar pec-decks, etc. Just 5 minutes cardio, 10 minutes strength training, 5 minutes core, and 5 minutes of cardio. Some tidbits that ring true to us: The dropout rate in the diet (and exercise?) Programs is surprisingly high, because the rigor of the program outweighs the benefits. The author is considering the development of balanced muscle development and muscle development that fits your body type is best. He thinks treadmills are the best cardio machine.


Similar meeting you exercise regimen, Pasternak's diet recommendations are also good, realistic, and free mode: "quality protein," reduced fat, raising the glycemic index, sugar-free drinks (of course he believes in the wisdom of sugar blood to maintain stable), not to count, 1 cheat day. The overall strategy is a short but complete exercise 5 days a week, low food, improving your metabolism, and work toward increasing your rat-to-vet ratio. We really don't think you can get much better advice than this opinion.

Age Defying Fitness: Making the Most of Your Body for the Rest of Your Life

Everybody wanna fight with aging. Everybody need antidote to aging. What antidote which effectively fight against aging? Activity is an antidote to aging. But, what kind of activity do you need to fight against aging? "Age Defying Fitness: Making the Most of Your Body for the Rest of Your Life" can answer this question.

To answer this question, this fitness book begins by fitness assessment to evaluate your physical performance so you can identify those areas that you need the most work in. Thus, you complete five tests that assess your posture, strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance- or what the book calls "the five domains."

After finishing these tests, you should have a pretty good idea of what areas you need the most work on. From there, you just go to the posture chapter or the balance chapter, or the strength chapter and so on- whatever chapters you need the most.

Each chapter contains additional "tests" for the reader to do to further hone in on problem areas. These are kinda neat and very easy for just about anybody to do. After these specific tests, easy-to-do exercises are provided. For instance, the posture chapter contains a lot of stretching exercises. the strengthening exercises use a theraband which comes with the book, the balance exercises (there are eight) are simple i.e. stand on one leg, flexibility exercises which cover your neck area down to your legs, and endurance exercises such as walking, jumping rope, cycling or using treadmill.

The book ends with a brief chapter called "Putting It All Together" which ties up loose ends such as coping with soreness and staying consitent with exercise.

30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You

Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You is written by Jillian Michaels. She is a trainer on NBC's The Biggest Loser.

Jillian pushes to get us in "the best and sexiest body shape of our life." Assuming we are already in fairly decent shape, if we have 20 or less pounds to shed and are willing to make the commitment, Jillian Michaels promises to have readers "feeling comfortable running in a bikini." Determining body fat percentage and taking a "fit test" is par for the course in this sort of book. What separates Jillian Michaels' program is that she bases the diet on whether a person is a "slow oxidizer, balanced oxidizer, or fast oxidizer." The idea is that slow oxidizers require more carbohidrats, while fast oxidizers need higher percentages of protein. Michaels provides three different sets of menus and recipes (she claims that there is sound science behind this, but do not expect to see helpful footnotes quoting clinical studies). The majority of this fitness plan book is list-like and not invigorating to read. A glut of trainer-driven fitness books seem to be hitting stands lately; this one only stands out if you accept her notion of oxidizing.

Jillian goes on to explain that the recipes make up to 10 - 12 servings for the following reasons: Most women do not want to make separate meals for their families. Also, the fitness book allots each reader with and individualized calorie allowance. As some of the recipes are very low calorie, some people doing the plan will require up to 5 servings of each recipe. Last, if we always on the run and finding it difficult to cook every night this fitness book will solve our problem. This way we will have healthy food prepared when you are pressed for time. All that said, she specifically mentions in the fitness book that if we want to make less food we can simply cut the ingredients in half and the meal will still come out perfectly making half the servings.

With regard to the workouts: There are over 100 separate exercises in the fitness book and less then 10 of them require gym equipment. The workouts seem predominantly designed to utilize body weight exercises (no gym required).

The workouts do seem tough, that is for sure. However, we can easily modify the exercises to accomodate our fitness level. Jillian offers over 8 variations of plank exercise, 11 different variations of lunges, 8 variations of push ups, and 8 variations of squats just to name a few. For those that do not have a treadmill accessible she offers up over 10 different types of cardio workout intervals that require no equipment like mountain climbers, butt kicks, squat jacks etc.

Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World

"Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World" is a fun book about the misfortunes of the author - and incredible naivety - led this amazing female's bodybuilding spectacular. I was one of the "schmoes" participation in the event, and I can tell you this female body spoke volumes! You do not have any poetry, dance, speechifying, or any of the nonsense of the author was apparently responsible for. Yes, we in the audience hooted at the intermediate amateur games. But we applauded mightily when we saw these incredibly muscular female, they had the courage and devotion to remake their bodies, please call themselves and others do not. The bulk of this book is the author of the description of female's bodybuilding scene. Unfortunately, the author claims that almost all female bodybuilders take steroids or used in any way to supplement, and they also claimed that most were victims of abuse as children. In addition, the sport was paralysed by inconsistent assessment standards and a wave of reactions against the ultra-muscular view of women. The author also has some honors at the end of the book suggests, why Laurie Fierstein's groundbreaking ceremony was so important. Because it proved that there is an audience for female bodybuilders only with itself and not in competition with the arbitrary approval of some timid male judges. This book is quick read and reveals a look at this unique world. I am a star deduction but one of the last chapter, in which the author indulges their writer's muse in Grand Central Station and bores the audience again, just as it did in the celebration Fierstein.

Advanced Sports Nutrition

Lyle "L3" (Wisconsin, USA) give "Advanced Sports Nutrition" 5 stars. Lyle said that this exceptional book is not a "one stop reference"; thats an idea that people often look for in a fitness book, that probably doesn't really exist. Quality fitness books should be added to your library, taken for what they are and what they offer, and compared to other similar books to create a bigger picture or understanding as it applies to you...there is no single perfect "way" when it comes to nutrition, much like training for your chosen sport. This fitness book is no exception, it is well researched and exceptionally useful, written by an author that applies what he knows to Olympic athletes. As a strength athlete most interested in powerlifting and strongman types of lifting and competition, the chapters referring to this type of training directly are limited and mostly bunched up with wrestlers, etc. under "power athletes", so it isn't exactly what I was looking for, but it still fits the bill in alot of ways as the info is there just not set out by itself under that title. Advanced Sports Nutrition covers a broad range of sports and has tons of useful information on everything nutrition that can be useful to just about anyone. It covers alot of unique as well as general topics. Join it up with a few more fitness books like Nutrition Almanac and you will be on your way to having whatever you need at your fingertips. This book is worth your time and money, you might not realize the extent if its usefulness until you open it up and start putting things together.

Advanced Sports Nutrition containts 5 parts:

Part I Nutritional Sources for Athletes
-energy nutrients, vitamins/minerals, fluids/electrolytes, and ergogenic aids

Part II Nutritional Aspects of Optimal Performance
-timing, absorption, oxygen, and inhibitors

Part III Factors Affecting Nutritional Needs
-travel, altitude, gender/age, and body comp/weight

Part IV Nutritional Strategies for Specific Energy Systems
-Metabolism for endurance/power (anaerobic/aerobic), and needs for both

Part V Nutritional Plans for Specific Sports
-Power/speed sports, endurance sports, and combined power/endurance sports.
