What is the verdict on "New Rules of Lifting for Women"? I know there are a few of you that are currently following the program. How are liking it, and, more importantly, what kind of results are you seeing? I have the book in hand, but haven't had a free moment to read it all the way through yet.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!

HI Kristi!

I am in stage 3 and I highly recommend it. Read the entire book first. Then decide if you want to commit. If you do, get all the log sheets ready ahead of time. Mine are in order on a clip board. I have them if you want them.

I think the program is well worth it and I am not being as strict as I should with the food. I found myself to be very cranky on 40/30/30 macros, so I allow my self a bit more carbs, but not as much as in the past. In addition I do not eat any land animals, but do eat eggs, lo fat dairy and seafood. Even so, DH & I both think I am getting more defined. For cardio I do all that is recommended and some extra iTreads or iMax workouts. In addition on golf days (1-3 times per week) I walk about 6 miles on the golf course, no kidding.

Let me know what you think after you read the book.


There is a check in called "Alwyn, TT, KB P90 etc" that covers NROL4W and other Cosgrove workouts. Check it out.

I have read the book, but at this point I am not ready to commit to the workouts. However, I definitely recommend reading the book -- there is so much interesting and important info in there. I especially enjoyed the nutrition section. In fact, I may re-read it...

Congrats on your new marriage Katie!

Thanks Judy & Katie. I'll take all of your advice. This program may be too ambitious for me to try right now due to it taking 3 months for my meniscus strain to heal. However, I will read up and put it on my "to try" list if I can't do it right now.


Thanks!

I started a bit after Judy and though I don't lift as heavy or add as much cardio as she does, I also am amazed at the results.

And Judy was much stricter with her diet, probably still is, but I eat clean probably 90 - 95% of the time, basically not eating sugar and white carbs, but sometimes indulge in light beer and chips or eat out a night a week or so.

I feel more defined and stronger than before and that is after only Stage 1. Because that stage was over 6 weeks and my cardio throughout was only running on my TM, I took a two week break in between and did a circuit type rotation with Cathe DVD's. I was getting tired of the same routine week in and week out.

Stage 2 is shorter and I think I'll be OK this time around. Plus I just bought some Cardio Coach and they are great.

Agree with Judy - pop on over to the check in - there are others over there doing a couple of Alwyn's other workouts and seeing good results as well.
