It seems that every group nowadays has their own fitness guide; the Marines, Moms, and even the Mob. And now on the shelves is a guide specifically targeted at Latin women.
So why do Latin women need a fitness guide just for them? "The J-Lo factor," says Barbara-Trujillo Gomez, author of ...Barbara Por Atras: A Latin Woman's Guide to Fitness. "We have a lot more curves and a little more padding."
This life affirming book is intended to enhance self esteem and foster self acceptance.
"I want my Latina sisters to let go of the Anglo stereotypes of emaciated, air brushed models and embrace women who have a healthy attitude toward food, fitness, and fun."
The authors discuss how it's so easy to get wrapped up in all the attention of looking a certain way, and how much pressure is put on Latina women to do so.
"This book will provide all us Latinas with proven effective workouts to enhance the God given curves and caderas we have as Latin women," says Barbara.
She continually persists that the most important reason to follow her guide is to benefit yourself health wise. Living a fit and healthy lifestyle will add years to your life while giving you a great sense of accomplishment.
Some of the important points featured in this book are:
