Product Description: The
key to losing fat and getting a strong, sexy body can’t be found in
the pages of some fancy diet book. It can’t be found in a magic
pill. According to strength coach, Rachel Cosgrove, the key to
shedding fat and keeping it off can only be found on the
strength-training floor. After trying—and failing—diet after diet,
hundreds of women have turned to Cosgrove and her revolutionary Fit
Female strength training program to finally get the fit, strong, and
healthy bodies they’ve always wanted. Her clients have lost up to 70
pounds, dropped up to six dress sizes, and drastically changed their
body shapes and muscle-to-fat ratios.
Now any woman can get the same results with
The Female Body Breakthrough. A program for every female who is
tired of starving herself, exercising for hours with no results, and
feeling bad about it all, this revolutionary plan uses a combination
of innovative strength training and sensible nutrition. The 16-week
program includes:
-
A 2-week Bodyweight-Only Jumpstart Phase
that will help women adjust to strength training while
seeing results in just days
-
Over 100 fully illustrated warm-up moves
and innovative strength-training exercises using everything
from dumbbells and barbells to bands and straps
-
A comprehensive nutrition plan including
nutrient-timing strategies that work with workouts,
satisfying foods that promote optimum health and energy, and
even an indulgent snack every day
-
A Do-It-Yourself guide to program design
so women can craft a program that works toward her personal
goals and with her schedule

Product Description: This
study compared the effects of a non-traditional & a traditional
strength training program for adolescents on measures of
health-related fitness & physical activity enjoyment (PACES). Male
(n=7) & female (n=12) adolescents between the ages of 15 & 18 years
registered for a community based program & volunteered to
participate in the study component. Participants were assigned to a
non-traditional training group (n=10) utilizing kettlebells (KB) or
a traditional training group (n=9) utilizing dumbbells.
Health-related fitness & PACES were measured at baseline &
post-training, with an additional PACES measure at mid-training.
Both training groups significantly improved several health-related
fitness measures, with the only significant difference between
groups being seen in KB swing squats. PACES significantly decreased
from baseline to mid-training, & stayed constant from mid- to
post-training, for both training groups. There was no significant
difference between groups on physical activity enjoyment. |
