Women's Fitness

Ranked #32,565 in Healthy Living, #434,386 overall

Hi, I'm Geralyn Coopersmith, an exercise physiologist, certified trainer and author.

The world of women's fitness is not only filled with misinformation, it's also filled with unrealistic images of what women are "supposed" to look like.

But the fact is, fitness is NOT one size fits all.  In fact, fitness looks very different on different body types. 

To expect any diet or exercise program to turn you into Giselle is a sure-fire recipe for a lifetime of feeling bad about yourself.  There's a reason why Giselle is making the big bucks...she's a total freak of nature (I mean that in a complimentary way). 

This is the underlying theme of my new book, Fit + Female: The Perfect Fitness and Nutrition Game Plan For Your Unique Body Type. 

Let me help guide you to the good stuff that can empower you -- so you can focus on being the fittest, hottest chick that YOU can be.

Yours In Health and Fitness,

G
