Philosophically, this book is different from NROL in that it assumes the women reading it already do more than lift.
Chapter 12 is called "Extra Stuff to Do," and it talks about how to balance different types of exercise with Alwyn's total-body strength workouts.
One particular focus is on interval-type training. Half of Alwyn's workouts use intervals at the end, so I caution readers against doing another type of workout that incorporates a mix of intensities (such as Spinning classes) the day before or after those workouts.
With any book, I try to anticipate the questions readers are going to have, and make sure the answers are in the text so they don't have to go elsewhere to find them. But I know from experience that I can never guess all or even most of them.
With NROL for Women, I can guess that there'll be a lot of questions about mixing different types of training. I really hope women who do multiple types of workouts will come in here and help readers. There's not going to be a single answer that applies to everybody, so I hope we get a range of opinions and shared experiences.
You guys know I'm worthless on endurance-training issues, so any backup I can get will be much appreciated.
