Yeah, the book is more of a sustainable, reliable way of approaching training. It may be, in the general sense, geared more towards guys-- but it is completely applicable to women and it is how several females at our gym train. You can’t go wrong with it. It touches on diet if I remember.
Remember, keep it simple and make it a long term lifestyle that you can sustain for years, and hopefully a lifetime. That is the goal, no quick fixes or extremes.
