She has more recently started responding to these comments by saying the book is a few years old and that we should pay for her course instead. If the book is out of date, then surely she needs to stop promoting and selling it since the out of date advice could impact our health?

If you are a woman who is into fitness, whether new to it or fairly well acquainted, chances are that this book will have something for you. The main character in each story is commonly referred to as 'the woman' they're not even deigned names yet the stories purpose is to lift women up. It's a nice idea, but it didn't quite hit the nail on the head for me. I wasn't nodding along going, "hey, yeah I am pretty awesome and pretty and powerful in my own right and my anxieties are irrelevant!" it was more of a slow shake of the head, disgruntled at the way women were portrayed. This book reminded me of Anthony Doerr's MEMORY WALL. These two writers in that way are comparable - they both can skillfully depict the oddest things as simply natural and beautiful.Dr. Sims has taken her years of experience as an endurance athlete and scientist to create the ultimate guide to nutrition and performance for female athletes. No matter what your sport of choice is, ROAR is a book that no athlete should be without.” —Shaluinn Fullove, two-time U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier Main strength: Women are not little men, and training like little men does our body a disservice. I also like that Sims recommends using real food to meet your energy and hydration needs. I think this is wise advice. I’ve questioned her on this and I’ve noticed others asking similar questions about different claims, but she ignores these questions and only responds to complimentary comments. Admittedly, it's somewhat discouraging reading her book in the sense that you feel that women's physiology works against them in so many ways. I like the positive attitude of the book, and the focus on hydration and electrolyte intake for women, since women store electrolytes differently than men but the topic is rarely discussed, if ever. I have read numerous magazine articles, books, blogs, and nearly everything in this book was information I had never seen/heard anywhere else. Not from my doctors, when I asked point blank why I have GI issues when I run (at mile 1.5! not 21...), why I feel so tired (you have low-iron, take a supplement), why my performance gains were so slow and arduous. Shrug, shrug, shrug... I thought I was just defective.

These bite size stories are large enough to sink you’re teeth into and celebrate women in all their glory and faults. There is a story for everyone, that you will identify with. We are gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year with an all-new event, Sparkle, hosted exclusively at ROARR! i really had no idea what to expect from this book. I don't read short story collections often, and it had been a while since I last read a book by the author.These stories are about where women started from and where they were headed…… emotionally, financially, environmentally…. facing the cruelty of life —

Majority of the stories of these Women were absolutely on point. However, some of them didn't seem to work out for me which maybe due to the fact that I haven't seen or experienced such an environment or prejudiced behaviour towards women in my life. So that is simply my opinion and there is a high chance you might love them. Cecelia Ahern's writing is so poignant and yet lyrical enough to keep smiling even when she describes something tragic or sad because she does it with such grace and lightness simply making it feel a natural part of life. A very beautiful natural part of life that also teaches the reader that everything that's natural is also beautiful. This revised edition includes a wealth of new research developments, expanded recommendations based on those findings, and updates to reflect the changing landscape of women’s sports, including:I was skeptical of this book, but after it was mentioned in an athletic/exercise subreddit for the 80th time, I caved.

Her anxiety is physical. It's all going on in her body. She feels trembling in her knees, her legs, her fingers. A heart that beats too fast, they must be able to see it vibrating through her blouse. A cramp in her stomach that tights. Nothing, nothing in her mind." Short stories with actual stories. All these female characters are so vivid and un-boring which isn't usually the case with short stories. Nowadays most are simply about something BIG or TRUE but can be otherwise quite on the boring side, until the very end at least when you realize there's some grand metaphor in there and the world makes sense again.

These provocative and witty stories prove it’s time to recognise Cecelia Ahern as one of our finest writers" John Boyne, author of A Ladder To The Sky and The Boy In The Stripped Pyjamas This book was written in 2016; a lot of what was written felt commonsense to me. Things like: don't avoid carbs (never have, never will), get enough sleep (I have walked out of gatherings announcing I HAVE TO SLEEP. You don't have to tell me twice), don't fast (duh! but also thank you for saying it out loud), and drink water, or water with extra stuff in it when you're sweating a lot (yes, though I do have to get better about fueling during a long workout).
