In Strong Is the New Skinny, Jennifer Cohen presents a multipronged plan to become your strongest, fittest, sexiest, and most vibrant self. The book includes a food plan that maximises energy, vitality, and power, along with supercharged workouts combining high-intensity circuit training with one-minute cardio blasts.

Strong is sexy. Strong is powerful. Strong is achievable. Two fitness experts show you how to adopt a healthy lifestyle that will embolden and empower you, regardless of your body shape. The book features a foreword by David Kirchoff, former CEO of WW and bestselling author of Weight Loss Boss.

"Strong Is the New Skinny is a field manual for a better, stronger, healthier life." - David Kirchoff, from the foreword.

Are you sick and tired of hearing what's wrong with you and your body? You're not alone. It's time for a new conversation—and a new plan for treating, feeding, and moving your body in ways that build on your strengths inside and out.

With Strong Is the New Skinny, you can say goodbye to body-bashing and physical faultfinding. Learn to embrace not only how your body looks, but also what it can do—from pushups to pull-ups and box jumps to rope climbs, nothing is out of your reach.

The book offers a reality-based diet, lifestyle, and fitness program (the "SINS" plan, for short) so you can:

  • Maximise your potential, as well as your energy, vitality, and power.
  • Train your brain—develop resilience and mental fortitude in every area of your life.
  • Add muscle, increase speed, and enhance flexibility.
  • Strengthen your arms, back, core, and legs—and crank up the challenge when you're ready for the next level.
  • Torch fat with Strong Moves—a series of heart-healthy H.I.I.T. workouts that take as little as ten minutes.
  • Kick-start your Get-Fit, Get-Fierce plan with the Strong Seven—7 days of 7 power foods.

Whether you're just getting started or training for a challenging physical event, this book gives you all the tools you need to become leaner, fitter, and stronger—nutritionally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally.
