"No one understands what it means to be fit and female better than Geralyn Coopersmith. Her work has brought results to women nationwide."
-Carol Espel, MS, National Director of Group Fitness for Equinox Fitness Clubs

-Michael Boyle, author of Functional Training for Sports
"Coopersmith leads the reader to new levels of self-awareness and the ability to make educated choices. Underlying her hip, upbeat tone is a sound background in exercise physiology and a strong desire to help women improve their lifestyles."
-Joan Pagano, author of Strength Training for Women
Ever wonder why some women look great with very little effort while others exercise and diet obsessively with disappointing results? The fact is, when it comes to getting in shape, all women are not created equal. We've all heard about apples and pears, but there's lots more to women's bodies than just that. If you've been frustrated by fad diets and the workout of the month that never seems to work, you need a program designed specifically for your unique body type.
In Fit + Female, Geralyn Coopersmith, a top fitness expert and certified personal trainer, ditches the one-size-fits-all approach to getting in shape and helps you determine which type you are. Then you get a nutrition and exercise plan that's tailored for your needs, not just generic, off-the-rack advice. If you want to get back into that clingy little number that now hugs all the wrong places, this is the realistic, scientific how-to for you!

what we want to look like-and why
An Epidemic of Self-Hatred
Maggie
Most women would kill to look like Maggie. Arguably the most fit woman in the gym, Maggie is a runner, a biker, and a serious weight lifter. At five feet three inches, she weighs about 100 pounds, has 12 percent body fat, and is pretty and petite. She has amazing definition in her torso, a small round bottom, and sinewy, well-defined arms. It's hard to believe she's a mom in her early forties. She is a true athlete, capable of doing virtually anything I throw at her.
To look at her, no one would imagine that Maggie actually hates her body. As her personal trainer, though, I know the truth. During our training sessions, she constantly complains about her "fat thighs" and her "lard ass." At first, I thought these statements were Maggie's way of fishing for compliments, but over time I realized that she was actually serious. In fact, Maggie is so dissatisfied with her appearance that she recently decided to have liposuction on her legs.
When she told me this in confidence, I was dumbfounded. For the life of me, I couldn't imagine: (1) what kind of doctor would agree to do this procedure on someone who looks like her, and (2) where the heck he plans on sucking out the fat from!!-there's nothing there that I can see.
