There are several very important reasons why strength training is good for weight loss – but most people have never heard of them.

For the longest time, the benefits of strength training seemed to pale in comparison to cardio for weight loss.

Now we know that was a HUGE mistake.

WOW is it hard to find good women’s strength training books.

And I really mean that. In 2021, I’m still finding female fitness books written mostly by men, many with sexist language, that are outdated, poorly formatted, or just don’t use good exercises.

As a certified personal trainer who knows what good training looks like, I was very picky about these book selections. These are strength and conditioning books I’d feel comfortable recommending to a friend or family member, as well as use myself. And, of course, have exceptional reviews from others.

It’s almost that time again!

Yes, I’m talking about Amazon Prime Day. While I’ve never been one to hop on the bandwagon for big sale days, last year I finally caved. I bought a new, bigger TV during last year’s Prime Day for such a good deal, I think I’m converted for life.

So now that Amazon Prime Day has been announced, I’ve been working on a list of things I need so I can take full advantage. And my list, of course, includes exercise equipment.
