Another excellent book by Mirian Nelson. Nothing fancy, just plain sense.

This is a great popular choice as a starting guide to all things getting fit for women. It is an easy read, and contains a wealth of practical advice, and sets a standard which is readily achievable. In fact if you are already exercising regularly at what I might call the "training" level, as compared to the "activity" level, then you will find the exercise section of this book a little underwhelming. However you may still find the sections on diet and weight-loss very helpful, and these sections are very practical. The foundation of the Strong Women Stay Slim weight-loss program is strength training, and for me that is what makes this book very worthwhile reading for all women looking to get fit, and to lose weight. If you absorb the key messages of this book then I believe you will have a great foundation for managing your health. In the 17 years that I have observed men and women 50+ exercising at the gym, and managing their health, I've seen few that demonstrate the practical holistic approach advocated by this book. If they did, they would get better more consistent results with more lasting lifestyle benefits.

Strong Women Stay Slim by Miriam E. Nelson. PH.D., this book is very useful book because it talks about the best ways to be healthy while sitting in the house and following a healthy diet with excellent exercise that build muscles in a very short time. This book talks about ways of making women strong and healthy and slim in the same time. Furthermore, this book mentioned many experiences of random women. Moreover, this book should be in every house because it makes things easy to any women that want to stay slim and strong in the same time with an excellent healthy lifestyle.

It has been said that the more muscle you have the easier it is for your body to burn fat. This is why “Strong Women Stay Slim” is a great book. It teaches women the basics of weight lifting and why it is so important to eat right, strength train, and incorporate cardio into their daily routines. I especially liked the fact that this book did not tell me simply what to do, it told me why I should do it, and how.

Slow reading at first until I implemented the strength training and menu plan. Turned out to be an outstanding book and resource, and I keep it open for reference for the six easy exercises and meal plan.

Common sense advice with good clinical research to back it up. No extremes here. The plan is moderate enough that for once I can stick to a plan when I want to. When I don't want, to the problem is me not the plan.

Fairly no-nonsense, gimmick-free advice. I skimmed large sections but am excited to try the strength-training plan.

I read this author back in the lat 1990 in prevention magazine. I found this Doctor to be very informative about exercising and its effects on a woman's body.
