Nelson's plan is especially effective for women looking to drop postpregnancy weight. The book includes tests to determine your fitness level, injury-preventing stretches, dumbbell exercises that give quick results, progress charts, and pages of suggested menus and recipes that include handy shopping lists. The plan's goal is to increase muscle strength, not bulk, and it's geared toward first-time exercisers and those who lose motivation easily. For those who are skeptical of weight-loss books, rest assured that this one won't disappoint.
Scientific research has shown that strength training increases metabolism -- a key to permanent weight loss -- by as much as 15 percent. In fact, a Tufts University study comparing women on identical diet plans found that the strength-training group lost 44 percent more fat than the diet-only group.
Strong Women Stay Slim has everything you need to shape up and feel great -- no matter what your age or fitness level:
-- Fully illustrated exercises especially designed for weight loss
-- Up-to-the-minute information about weight, appetite, nutrition, and fitness -- explaining why this program works
-- A hunger-free food plan, including menus and delicious recipes from award-winning cookbook author Steven Raichlen
-- Progress logs and extra guidance for the first ten weeks
-- Motivational secrets...and more
