Fitness Coach, Ironman Triathlete and Author Rachel Cosgrove Shows You How

Santa Clarita gym owner, fitness guru and now author, Rachel Cosgrove, is on a mission—a one woman campaign to debunk the common weight loss myths that have prevented women of all ages from achieving the truly fit, lean and sculpted bodies of their dreams.  Her forthcoming book The Female Body Breakthrough (Rodale, November 2009) offers easy to follow advice on how to get past these myths and achieve your fitness goals.
The Female Body Breakthrough focuses specifically on the belief (fueled by countless DVD’s, books and misinformed trainers) that hours spent pounding on the treadmill and sweating through torturous aerobic classes will lead to weight loss and a perfectly toned booty. 
According to Cosgrove, weights (not the little pink two-pounders) and serious weight training, complete with grunts and sweat, are the only way that women can make significant changes to their physique and make the breakthrough to acquire a beautiful, fit body like Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Biel.  With her book, she is getting women to think differently about exercise, food and their bodies.

The Female Body Breakthrough is available online at www.barnesandnoble.com as well as www.bordersmedia.com .
