Strong is the New Beautiful audiobook

Granted, I'm not the target audience for this book and wasn't sure how well I would like it prior to reviewing it. I was very pleasantly surprised though. Yes, this is written for women and I don't imagine a whole lot of men will pick it up, but there are things here for everyone.The book is divided up into three sections: memoir, diet and exercise. The memoir is interesting and informative, but the diet portion is where I really learned the most. She emphasizes the fact that diets don't really work and that one should focus on clean eating instead. Vonn comes across as very approachable and lets you know that she's struggled with food for her entire life, just like the rest of us. This is an enjoyable read that can help you live better and not punish yourself in the process.

C'est un livre que je recommanderais avant tout aux femmes qui veulent reprendre leur santé en main, parce que Lindsey a un regard très sain et positif sur la santé, la remise en forme et la perte de poids. Elle ne cherche pas à nous faire maigrir à tout prix mais à nous rendre FORTES. Et j'aime beaucoup ça ! Ses conseils alimentaires sont intelligents, même si elle parle un peu trop de produits laitiers à mon goût ^^ et on y trouve aussi de super circuits de renforcement musculaire. De mon côté je ne dirais pas que ce livre m'a vraiment appris bcp de choses - je pense être plutôt pas mal côté alimentation - mais c'est une vraie source d'inspiration, c'est fascinant de lire l'histoire d'une grande championne et c'est toujours bon de se rappeler les bases, de se souvenir qu'il faut avant tout écouter son corps et que bouger tous les jours est une bénédiction !

I like how she shares her own struggles with body issues and how even being an athlete a woman still can feel insecure. She gets that many women would question her feelings of doubt. She has interesting information about clean eating and exercise. Great inspiration and positive quotes to encourage young women. This is not a "diet book".

I generally dislike diet and health books because diets are temporary and don't work in the long run. In the last year, I have begun to just focus on clean, healthy eating and that's exactly what Lindsey does in her book. She calls out all of the BS in the health industry and encourages her readers to focus on whole foods that come from the earth. She also empowers her readers by sharing her own insecurities, which I believe will help many who are battling their own insecurities. She shows her readers how to embrace their unique beauty, eat clean, and to tap into the power that is already within them to be strong women. I would recommend this book to any women who are needing some inspiration or advice when it comes to being the best, healthy person that they can be.

I truly enjoyed this book. I wasn't even sure who this woman was until I picked up the book and started reading. It just sounded interesting at the time I was in the library and I figured why not. I love her view on beauty and strength. The tips in this book really speak to me and I loved the way it was written. I have to say that I had a hard time putting this one down and I took a lot of notes. Definitely recommend. Whether you are a Ski fan or not, this is definitely worth the read if you are a woman looking to find your strength!

I appreciate the advice Lindsey gives regarding getting and staying motivated to exercise, recipe ideas and exercise plans. A good, high-level book on fitness and learning to appreciate your own strength and beauty. While Lindsey addresses many fitness levels in the routines she provides, this book is seems to be written primarily for people who are seeking an exercise plan to get into shape or those who are new to exercising and looking for tips on food and fitness.

Better than the gym, any day! I want a yoga ball for my birthday! Makes me dream of the slopes! and getting down them ;)! hiking up the mountain, perhaps? good stuff!!!! Stay at home workouts that get right to the tolerance level of a little bit leads to a little more, of your entire being! Procrastinated using it, but now it's just what I needed.

I appreciate an honest look at an athletes life, especially a woman. I appreciate that Vonn is so focused in the book on helping people understand we are not all the same and our needs physically and mentally are vastly different. Thank you for showing that real women eat and work hard!

I like the overall takeaway of embracing your given body type and individual beauty. Otherwise some common sense nutrition and exercise advice, advice on shopping and how to read labels. I am trying a few of the recipes too!

A lot of the nutrition stuff is familiar to me, but I liked the way it was delivered. What I really liked about this book was the fitness section and the way the workouts were laid out. I'm actually excited to try them.

I really enjoyed this book! Lindsey Vonn is a really cool woman and she is very relatable even though she is a professional athlete. I like that she provided meals and exercises to help motivate you and give you some ideas.

I loved the message in this book and found it very motivating. This would be a great book for a teenage athlete.

Insightful, helpful. Enjoyed learning about her mental obstacles and how she overcame them. Relationship with food and your body is an ongoing journey

I like her philosophy about weight and thought the meal ideas were good .

This book is like a giant blog. Which I really like.
