introduction

Even though more women strength train now than ever before, there is still a myth floating around that lifting weights will make women bulky. As for the women who already strength train, the majority of them simply aren’t training properly or with enough resistance to produce an effect.

One thing we can all agree on, however, is that as women we want to feel strong, empowered, and confident. So, I’m here to dispel the myths you hear and to help you achieve true strength in and out of the gym.

This book is for you – to help you reap the benefits of lifting weights the right way. Get Strong for Women will help you train with the proper exercises and with the proper intensity. This book will help you train with confidence.

Lifting weights will make you stronger, healthier, and leaner, but the benefits go beyond just the physical. Strength training improves your confidence, lessens your stress levels, and helps you develop overall mental toughness.

How do I know? Because I have watched my own body and my own life change, along with the lives of my clients, by using a smart and systematic training programme. As a personal trainer, certified strength coach, and group fitness instructor, I have worked with clients of all different levels and ages, helping them to get fit, healthy, strong, and capable of anything.

With 61 exercises and three 12-week programmes based on your fitness level, this book provides all the information and tips you need to GET STRONG, regardless of your goals or your starting point.

So let’s do this.

Let’s get strong together.
