Health and wellness expert Jennifer Cohen is ready to change the conversation about women’s fitness. Thanks to a long overdue cultural shift, women are no longer interested in starving themselves to be rail thin. Instead they want to look and feel strong. Women are increasingly turning to hard-core training regimens like CrossFit, Tough Mudder, and P90X, over kinder, gentler yoga and Pilates workouts. Instead of eating like rabbits, they want to eat like cheetahs and use food as fuel. Forget damsels in distress—women want to be superheroes. Strong is sexy. Strong is powerful. And best of all, strong is achievable.
In her new book with Stacey Colino, Strong is the New Skinny: How to Eat, Live, and Move to Maximize Your Power (Harmony Books; Trade Paperback Original; On Sale September 16, 2014), Jennifer Cohen lays out a multipronged plan to help readers become strong from the inside out—nutritionally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally. Their message is both clear and empowering: it’s time to embrace what your body can do, not just how it looks.
