Reviews
"Wherever you are in your physical journey, I know this book will inspire you. Morit helped me compete for my very first Spartan Race. I will never forget her encouraging me to stop thinking about the scale for a second and instead think about strength-not just getting physically strong, but becoming mentally stronger. She challenged me to go for my goal in another way, and I carry that with me to this day. It's not always about a number, but it's about proving to yourself that you are capable and worthy. I hope that this book will leave you feeling capable and worthy of bringing your absolute best to everything you do." -Danielle Brooks, Actress, Singer, Mom, and Spartan Race Participant "Morit Summers is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated strength coaches available in our fitness industry. Morit has a wealth of knowledge, combined with the lived experience of how strong one can be while also living in a larger body; this expertise is extremely rare in our fitness culture." -Louise Green, Trainer and Author of Big Fit Girl and Fitness for Everyone "Morit Summers is a powerhouse and a refreshing voice that's needed in sports. Big & Bold: Strength Training for the Plus-Size Woman offers clear instruction without the shameful tactics and messages that are oftentimes marketed to plus-size women to be smaller." -Latoya Shauntay Snell, Sponsored Multisport Endurance Athlete and Founder of Running Fat Chef LLC "Morit Summers' approach to strength is approachable, accessible, and a breath of fresh air. Big & Bold: Strength Training for the Plus-Size Woman is exactly what the industry needs and is the book I wish I had access to when I first stepped foot in the gym." -Chrissy King, Creator of The Body Liberation Project, Writer, and Fitness Influencer
