No, Rhonda, the newer book is the one that she was not included in.
I was ordering the version you have now and then asked her what the difference between the older version and the newer version was. She then told me that she was not included in the newer version. She also said that Snyder made several changes she did not agree with. For instance, instructing women, whether they were overweight or not to do several repititions of lunges. Laura said for a woman 40 pounds overweight, that would be too strenuous on the knees. She didn't seem at all upset she was not part of the new book. She said the older book is 'tried and true' and continues to sell well.
She was very nice.
