Lift : how women can reclaim their physical power and transform their lives / by Chaker, Anne Marie,author.;
Includes bibliographical references pages (223-240) and index.Introduction -- Part one: Pull: pulling back the curtain on the story of women's bodies. The story of skinny : how we got the idea we were supposed to be thin -- She's a brick house : the original badass physique -- Lift heavy things : the science of strong, from the Great Sandwina to the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling -- Part two: Push: building a longer life and empowering a new generation.

The mental game : don't overthink and find your way -- Building your routine : a guide to beasting out -- Eat like a bodybuilder : the value of protein and other macronutrients -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Index."When Wall Street Journal reporter Anne Marie Chaker discovered bodybuilding as a hobby in midlife, she was recovering from a series of traumas, including postpartum depression, the end of her marriage, and the sudden death of her father. By throwing herself into strength training and stretching her body beyond what she imagined to be its limits, she began to regain confidence. Slowly, she challenged the deeply entrenched body insecurities she realized she'd long held, and her life changed in ways she never could have imagined. In Lift, Chaker explores the forces that have led generations of women to internalize the message that they should make themselves smaller and explains why, instead, building muscle not only creates long lasting health, but also empowers us. Along the way, she highlights research that dismantles the conventional story of women's bodies. As Chaker argues, strength training can help women find true power and confidence that goes far beyond how we look: it can dramatically shift how we move through the world, reshape how we respond to setbacks, and transform how we see our value. And science shows that increasing muscle mass can help protect women's bodies from the effects of aging. Most important, it rewrites the message we send the next generation once and for all and will help girls step into their power from a young age. Bridging narrative storytelling with empowering and actionable takeaways, including advice on how to start a training program, Lift is a rallying cry and inspiring guide to help women to get stronger for life"--

Unbreakable : Go strong. Live long. A woman's guide to aging with power / by Wright, Vonda,author.(CARDINAL)491944;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 335-360) and index.Introduction: We are not the victims of the passage of time -- The time bombs of aging -- Movement: Your strongest shield for an unbreakable future -- Building an unbreakable mindset -- Where are you now? The unbreakable assessment -- The exercise prescription for FACE-ing your unbreakable future -- F: Flexibility and mobility -- A: Aerobic activity -- C: Carrying a load -- E: Equilibrium and footspeed -- Unbreakable nourishment -- When menopause enters the equation -- Peak mental performance -- Moving beyond optimized health and into peak physical performance -- Precision longevity: A journey into the final frontier -- Appendix 1: Exercise protocols -- Appendix 2: Dr. Vonda's dinner system and favorite unbreakable recipes -- Appendix 3: Unbreakable strategies for managing pain and injury."Stronger muscles and bones, increased mobility, lifelong independence, and a new mentality for aging with power--this cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training, and lifestyle will optimize a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity yet too often women in particular neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss, and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms--what Dr. Vonda Wright refers to as the "musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause"--can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility, and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr. Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories: Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function. Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth. Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life. Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of "zombie cells" and improve your cell function. Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years"--
