Big Fit Girl: Embrace the Body You Have

Author(s): Louise Green; Jes Baker (Foreword by); Jessa Weiner (Foreword by)

Fitness & Massage | Feminism | Women's Health

An inspiring account of how plus-size women can become fit and healthy. In this kick-ass call to arms, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them from improving their health. By sharing her own story of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and got fit, Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. She provides concrete advice about how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose an activity, how to set goals, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the plus-size athlete, and how to improve one's relationship with food. She also showcases similar stories from other women.
