ROAR by Stacy Sims,Selene Yeager Pdf

Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one. Because most nutrition products and training plans are designed for men, it’s no wonder that so many female athletes struggle to reach their full potential.

This book teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training to your unique physiology so you can work with, rather than against, your female physiology.

Fit at Mid-Life by Samantha Brennan,Tracy Isaacs Pdf

"[Fit at Mid-Life] reinforces the message that fitness can and should be for everyone, no matter their age, size, gender, or ability." ––SELF What if you could be fitter now than you were in your twenties? And what if you could achieve it while feeling more comfortable and confident in your body? In Fit at Mid-Life, bloggers and philosophy professors Samantha Brennan and Tracy Isaacs share the story of how they got the fittest they'd ever been by age 50––and how you can, too. Their approach to fitness is new and different—it champions strength, health, and personal accomplishment over weight loss and aesthetics––and explores the many challenges, questions, and issues women face when seeking fitness in their forties, fifties, and beyond. Drawing from the latest research, Brennan and Isaac deliver a wealth of concrete advice on everything from how to keep bones strong to what types of fitness activities give the biggest returns. Taking a feminist perspective, they also challenge society’s default whats, whys, and hows of every aspect of getting fit to show how women can best take charge of their health—no matter what their shape, size, age, or ability. "Fit at Mid-Life combines personal stories with scientific evidence, feminist reflections and how-to advice for both women and men who don’t want fitness to fade away in their middle years."––The Toronto Star

Big Fit Girl by Louise Green Pdf

“Finally—a fitness book for the rest of us! . . . [Big Fit Girl] is sure to usher in a new generation of tough, curvy athletes.” —Jessamyn Stanley, author of Every Body Yoga In Big Fit Girl, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them from improving their health and fitness. By telling her own story of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and unleashed her inner athlete—as well as showcasing similar stories from other women—Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. Green also provides concrete advice, based on the latest research, about how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose an activity, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the plus-size athlete, how to set goals, and how to improve one’s relationship with food. And she stresses the importance of paying it forward—for it is only by seeing plus-size women in leadership roles that other plus-size women will be motivated to stop trying to lose weight and get fit instead. “Big Fit Girl impressed me tremendously. Green combines compelling storytelling with practical tips—true to what we know about science—in a unique way that will get you moving.” —Linda Bacon, PhD, scientist, and author of Health at Every Size “Inspiring and empowering.” —Taryn Brumfitt, producer and director, founder of the Body Image Movement “I’m thrilled to live in a world where Big Fit Girl will be part of the health section. Thank you Louise—it’s time for every person of every size to have access to this information!” —Jes Baker, The Militant Baker

Let's Get Physical by Danielle Friedman Pdf

A captivating blend of reportage and personal narrative that explores the untold history of women’s exercise culture--from jogging and Jazzercise to Jane Fonda--and how women have parlayed physical strength into other forms of power. For American women today, working out is as accepted as it is expected, fueling a multibillion-dollar fitness industrial complex. But it wasn’t always this way. For much of the twentieth century, sweating was considered unladylike and girls grew up believing physical exertion would cause their uterus to literally fall out. It was only in the sixties that, thanks to a few forward-thinking fitness pioneers, women began to move en masse. In Let's Get Physical, journalist Danielle Friedman reveals the fascinating hidden history of contemporary women’s fitness culture, chronicling in vivid, cinematic prose how exercise evolved from a beauty tool pitched almost exclusively as a way to “reduce” into one millions have harnessed as a path to mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Let’s Get Physical reclaims these forgotten origin stories—and shines a spotlight on the trailblazers who led the way. Each chapter uncovers the birth of a fitness movement that laid the foundation for working out today: the radical post-war pitch for women to break a sweat in their living rooms, the invention of barre in the “Swinging Sixties,” the promise of jogging as liberation in the seventies, the meteoric rise of aerobics and weight-training in the eighties, the explosion of yoga in the nineties, and the ongoing push for a more socially inclusive fitness culture—one that celebrates every body. Ultimately, it tells the story of how women discovered the joy of physical strength and competence—and how, by moving together to transform fitness from a privilege into a right, we can create a more powerful sisterhood.

Women and Exercise by Eileen Kennedy,Pirkko Markula Pdf

Exercise for women is a heavily-laden social and embodied experience. While exercise promotion has become an increasingly visible part of health campaigns, obesity among women is rising, and studies indicate that women are generally less physically active than men. Women’s (lack of) exercise, therefore, has become a public concern, and physiological and psychological research has attempted to develop more effective exercise programs aimed at women. Yet women have a complex relationship with embodiment and physical activity that is difficult for quantitative scientific approaches to explore. This book addresses this neglect by providing a much-needed feminist, qualitative social analysis of women and exercise. The contributors, drawn from across Europe and North America, investigate the ways women experience exercise within the context of the global fitness industry. All the authors take a specifically feminist perspective in their analysis of the fit, feminine body, exploring media images and the global branding of fitness products, the relationship between exercise and fat, the construction of physical activity within health discourse, and the lived experience of the exercising body. The collection explores the diversity of women’s experiences of exercise in relation to age, ethnicity and body size. The book is essential for anyone interested in health promotion, sport and exercise or the social and cultural study of gender and embodiment.

Femfit by Josh Honsberger,Nick Koumalatsos Pdf

It is always a daunting process to start a physical fitness regime. Many people get overwhelmed with what to do or what not to do and quit before they even get started. We understand that this process is just as much mental as it is physical and we wanted to build a roadmap that made it simple and easy for you to achieve your physical fitness goals without the added stress of trying to figure out where to start. In this training program, you will receive 16 weeks of physical fitness training. The training you receive in this book will start out slow and simple while progressively getting more difficult as you improve your personal fitness. Each day is planned out for you from what to do in your warm up and what exercises you are doing each day. Here are the comments from the women who participated in this training: "Here was the problem, I've never been confident in the gym. I've looked everywhere for training guides or workout templates and have found nothing that made a difference in my life. I was just going to the gym and performing exercises thinking I was making progress. When, in reality, I was just wasting time. Until FemFit arrived in my life, I was frustrated with my "results."This book was everything I needed in a workout guide. It allowed me to plan out every workout ahead of time. I am now able to confidently workout knowing which movement is coming next rather than looking lost wondering what to do. Having six, pre-designed, workouts a week make everything much easier. It is like having your own personal trainer in the gym with you!FemFit works! Within the first two weeks, I saw distinctive definition in my shoulders and my stamina was unbelievably high. On the fifth week, I saw immense results with my gluteus maximus, which had me walking around with the most confidence I've ever had! I'm still surprised by what I'm able to accomplish in the gym now. This book has built my body, my self-esteem, and my confidence stronger."-Mrs. Raushi"FemFit is for any female wanting to actively work towards very attainable goals. It's not a "get-fit-quick" program it's a 16-week program developed to help females build muscle and lose fat with correct form and active recovery at the highest consideration. I found that any previous injuries I had were not an issue when training properly. And best of all, is all incredible results. I lost 7 percent body fat in just 12 weeks. If you're a beginner you will feel committed because the results are addicting. If you're coming back from a long break like me, you will feel energized with the way the program builds intensity over time. And if you're an old pro, this program will shake up your routine. Josh and Nick did a phenomenal job understanding the female body and the proper amount of recovery to training. I have never felt so good in my life! "-Alison CapraAt the end of the day what makes the difference is the consistency of work you put in. If you are willing to make the commitment to better your mind, body, and spirit then FemFit will give you the roadmap you need to be successful. But you will be the one that puts in the work and gets all the credit for the success in the end.

Women and Fitness in American Culture by Sarah Hentges Pdf

This book explores common representations and experiences of American fitness. It takes women’s experiences as the center of inquiry toward an understanding of the function of fitness in our lives and in our culture-at-large. Ranging from 1968 to the present, from Jane Fonda to WiiFit, from revolution to institutionalization, from personal to political, and beyond, this book considers a broad range of topics from an interdisciplinary perspective: generations, cultural appropriation, community development, choreography, methodology, healing, and social justice. Drawing on her experience as a cultural theorist, educator and fitness instructor, the author offers critical and creative approaches that reveal the limitations and possibilities of fitness. The book enables readers to think about their own relationship to fitness as well as the more abstract meanings of the term, and suggests the idea that fitness has some potential to transform our worlds—if we’re willing to do the work(out).
