Rachel Cosgrove's New Best Selling Book The Female Body Breakthrough The Revolutionary Strength-Training Plan for Losing Fat and Getting the Body You Want By Rachel Cosgrove Southern California 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 new book The Female Body Breakthrough 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 that hours spent pounding on the treadmill and sweating through tortuous aerobic classes will not lead to weight loss and a perfectly toned booty. According to Cosgrove, weights, not the little pink 2-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.		Haley I have learned to test my limits. I now have a completely different mindset than when I started. Now I actually look like an athlete, feel good about myself and am fit and ready to be my best! Thank you for everything!" - Gerry Since becoming a "fit chick" I have become much more aware of my diet. I realize now that when I do eat junk food it makes me feel tired and unhealthy. Working out in the morning motivates me to eat healthy and make better choices throughout the rest of the day. I also don't feel as guilty if I do treat myself to a dessert because I know that I can just work harder in the gym the next day. Before becoming a "fit chick" I was unhappy in many of the clothes that I put on. I was self-conscious about my arms, so I would avoid sleeveless shirts or tank-tops. I would also avoid tight shirts that would cling to my stomach. I tried to dress in a way that would hide my flaws, but then I would see pictures and realize I was not fooling anyone. Now, it is like I have a whole new wardrobe. Things that I would try on before and just put straight back onto the hanger fit me differently now. My jeans are all too big, so I finally bought a new pair. I fit into a size 27 which was is amazing feeling. I cannot remember wearing a 27, even in high school! I feel stronger and more defined. Each week I am surprised by the muscle definition that I am seeing. I did not think my body was capable of being this lean and it feels good. I feel like it is still me, but in a new and improved package. I am feeling much more confident all around making me walk a little taller and prouder. Even if I am stressed about school or work it is nice not to add "I feel fat" to my list of stresses. I know that when I am feeling a little depressed or down, feeling overweight or out of shape adds to that in a big way. It is a huge relief to feel good about my body physically, which is a hard thing to change. If I had a bad day I can usually take a bath and get some rest to feel better, but if I feel bad because I am 15 pounds overweight that takes much more time and effort to fix. I know that in order to be happy and healthy, I need to be a "fit female." When I am fit I feel fabulous! Coming Soon!
