Strong in Every Size (Paperback)

Paperback. Are you a plus-size woman who has wanted to start strength training but couldn't find a program designed for your actual body? Have you tried fitness guides that ignored your anatomy, gym culture that made you feel unwelcome, or programs that disguised weight loss goals as fitness goals? Strong in Every Size is the comprehensive, inclusive strength training guide that was built for you - for your body, your experience, and your goals.Simone Wells delivers the first beginner strength training guide designed specifically for plus-size women, with exercises demonstrated and described for larger bodies, specific anatomical guidance for wider hips and fuller thighs, frank and supportive coaching for navigating gym culture, and a complete body-positive nutritional framework that fuels performance rather than pursuing weight loss.
