About this audiobook
The groundbreaking book that revolutionized exercise nutrition and performance for female athletes, now freshly updated
Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one.
In ROAR, exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy T. Sims, PhD, teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training to work with your unique female physiology, rather than against it.
By understanding your physiology, you’ll know how best to adapt your lifestyle and build routines to maximize your performance, on and off the sports field. You’ll discover expert guidance on building a rock-solid foundation for fitness and everyday life with tips for determining your high-performance body composition, gaining lean muscle, and nailing your nutrition. Because a women’s physiology changes over time, you’ll also find full chapters devoted to pregnancy and menopause.
This revised edition includes a wealth of new research developments, expanded recommendations based on those findings, and updates to reflect the changing landscape of women's sports, including:
No matter what your activity is—Olympic lifting, general fitness, endurance, or field sports—this book will empower you with the personal insight and knowledge you need to be in the healthiest, fittest, strongest shape of your life.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains exercise pictures, recipes, planning charts, and other useful resources in the book.

I got a lot of good advice nuggets from this book--however, I will warn the reader--the tone is often "you're doing it wrong" "don't do it this way" "but also don't do it this way." A lot of the advice is confusing, sounds contradictory, and may leave a beginner feeling discouraged and defeated. I did, until I realized that all exercise makes me healthier, and my life is mine to enjoy, and my exercise is my exercise to enjoy.
