Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body by Michael Matthews
4.0
"Thinner, Leaner, Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body" by Michael Matthews was an excellent read. Matthews does a great job explaining complete scientific information in every day terms.
One of my biggest pet peeves is how much conflicting information is out on the web in regards to health and fitness. Matthews covers everything in his book (logically and with scientific backing).
I found his sections on nutrition to be extremely helpful and enlightening. His sample meal ideas and how to break down food have sparked many ideas within myself. I also learned correct balancing of MACRO nutrients.
Another section I really enjoyed is his break down of 5-day, 4-day, and 3-day workouts. He does all of the background heavy lifting so we can be out in the gym doing our own heavy lifting. I have always lacked structure in the gym of what I should be working on, and this removed the shroud of mystery.
I think my favorite part of his book was toward the end, a chapter on supplements. He goes through and talks about all of the potential supplements, which ones are worth getting and which ones are a waste of time. I was able to extend my knowledge on the quality of products and what I should be looking for.
I feel this is a great jumping off point for any woman who is looking to hit the gym but doesn't really know where to start. Well, my friends look no further!
Happy Reading!
