WOW, you look great!
Can I ask how many minutes each of your workout sessions are? Also if you had to lose a larger amount of weight (like 15-20 pounds) would you do cardio then? Or still just skip all cardio and just lift?
I really need to read this book. I realize these answers are probably in the book but if you have a chance to answer I'd appreciate it
Hey!
The length of the workouts varies. Today I was at the gym for about 45-60 minutes. Stronglifts 5x5 is a pretty quick workout because it's only 3 lifts. NROLFW is notoriously longer, though sometimes the workouts are shorter depending on the stage and also depending on how many sets you do (they usually tell you to choose either 3 or 4 sets after the first stage) You can adjust your workouts and your rest periods as needed.
If you don't like cardio then you can definitely skip cardio and only lift even when you have weight left to lose. Lifting will get your heart rate up just like cardio does if your'e lifting heavy enough. NROLFW tells you to avoid cardio during stage 1 because your muscles are getting used to lifting and need all the rest they can get, but after that it incorporates 15 minutes of HIIT after every other workout, so you could choose to do that if you'd like.
I personally recommend NROLFW for beginners, but I've seen some people do LiveFit or Starting Strength or even Stronglifts as beginners and have great success.

Tremendous effort. Looking at your photos should make girls want to lift. Do your hair next time though :P

Would love to learn more about this. Was flipping through some pages on Amazon and was able to read a lot on their theories, but does the book also give guidelines and actual workouts? Thanks!0

Yes, I'm glad to see more women ignoring that myth about weighlifting = bulking up! My mom and I enjoy lifting together when possible, and have seen definite benefits from it.
Question for you: does the book - or do you - have advice on exercises that tone up the thighs, specifically the inner thigh area?0
