In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength, conditioning, and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong body.This book refutes the misconception that women will "bulk up" if they lift heavy weights. Nonsense! It's tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle: natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight loss—it's that simple.The program demands that women put down the "Barbie" weights, step away from the treadmill, and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman.The New Rules of Lifting for Women, now in paperback, will change the way women see fitness, nutrition, and their own bodies.

A little dated in some of the writing, but the workouts and eating advice is definitely solid - love a fitness book for women that's like “okay but you should probably be eating MORE.”
It's a bit annoying that, having pointed out that the purpose of gym equipment is to make money for gyms and that you don't really need it, the author proceeds with a training plan that's full of said equipment... The theory part is solid and busts some common myths, but if you're looking for a dumbbell- and bodyweight-only plan, this isn't it.
Great book...may be my next workout plan.
