MUST READ: The New Rules of Lifting for Women

This book is GREAT! It gives a lot of pointers for women who are afraid to lift heavy. It explains the benefits to lifting weights and shows you how to do it if you don't know (though I recommend getting a personal trainer for a few weeks/months to learn -that's how I learned). Mainly, it tells you how what you have been doing may have been a total and utter waste of time!!! Even me, who thinks I lift pretty heavy for a chick can push it a little more...you never know if you can lift more unless you try. So, I'm working on increasing weights, gaining muscle mass and working harder in the gym. Check it out on Amazon.com.
