| Summary |
"A woman's mind and body change as she goes through life, and so should her outlook on what it means to be healthy and fit. If you're a woman over age 35, you need fitness and wellness advice that's uniquely tailored to your needs so you can look and feel your best. You need Total Body Beautiful. With combined decades of experience and dozens of fitness certifications and credentials, the expert team of authors, Andrea Orbeck, Desi Bartlett, and Nicole Stuart, have worked with hundreds of celebrities, supermodels, and ordinary women to develop workout and wellness solutions to stay active and feel good in their own skin--and they can do the same for you. These authors understand the complexities of women's bodies and the changes that occur as women age. More than an exercise guide, Total Body Beautiful explores the changes that women experience during and after pregnancy, during perimenopause, and during and after menopause.
