I second this recommendation.
In fact, if you're looking for ONE good reference for strength training, this would probably be my first recommendation.

Other fitness books:
The New Rules of Lifting (Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove)
Encyclopedia of Muscle and Strength (Jim Stoppani) (principles for developing strength vs. hypertrophy)
(there are many, many more...many of which are in my personal library!...but these three would be an excellent start)

Nutrition/health books:
Eat to Live (Joel Fuhrman)
The China Study (T.Colin Campbell)
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Caldwell B. Esselstyn, jr.)
Thrive and The Thrive Diet (Brendan Brazier)
DVD: "Eating" (from www.RaveDiet.com ...there is also a book, The Rave Diet, but the DVD contains the same basic info, plus additional info)

Again, there are many more books you could read, depending on what you are particularly interested in, but these are a good start.
Again, there are
 
marcy, BFFM is only availble as an e-book, right? Have you printed it out? Do you know if it can be printed out in bits and pieces once purchased, or only all pages at once?
 
Melrose,

Yes, it is only available as an e-book. It comes in different sections, so you don't have to print it out all at once. The main section is pretty big. The book is over 300 pages plus the extra appendixes.

I read the whole book yesterday--"Eat Clean Diet" by Tosca Reno. Pretty sensible and healthy advice.
Although, she totally lost me when she called a latte "cheating!"

My goodness, a tall, nonfat latte at Starbucks has barely 120 calories, its just the calories from the milk. I did not get that one at all, especially when she lists skim milk as a clean dairy food?
Maybe she was referring to the regular latte with whole milk or something....

I like the manual, "Prescription for Natural Healing".
 
Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I think every woman should read something by Dr. Christiane Northrup. I was reading one of her books last night and discovered that I'm not getting NEARLY enough vitamin D. Her books are not about exercise, but they sure do have a lot to say about exercise, nutrition and just about everything else relating to women's health. She understands women's bodies like nobody else out there. I can't wait to see how I feel once I'm getting enough vitamin D!
 
Another plug for Tosca Reno's book, as well as YOU On a Diet. Both books are excellent with tons of useful information and great recipes.
