         Fitness Expert Teaches in the Language of Women:  Their Clothes

New Book “Cathy Lang’s Wardrobe Workouts:  Bye Bye Bra Fat” Offers New Approach to Fitness Women can Relate to

Cathy Lang, a fitness trainer who teaches how to tailor a workout according to desired wardrobe, has recently identified the five categories of clothing in a woman’s closet based on 14 years of feedback from her female personal training clients.

 According to Lang, there are five categories of clothing that women must chose from, often with frustration, every time they open their closet, including:

1. Dailywear This is the “go to” gear; the reliable outfits women turn to 85-90% of the time because they fit.
2. Gottawear These are “fat” clothes.  Yes, they can be relied upon to fit, but whether it is PMS or too many sweets, we are depressed when forced to turn to these.
3. Rarelywear Our skinny pants reside in this lonely section.  On the rare occasion the planets are aligned and we can feel good in these, they are our favorites.  We even find excuses to wear these pieces.
4. Gonnawear These are often expensive items hiding in the back of our closets that we fell in love with.  We promised ourselves that if we bought these garments we would finally buckle down and workout.  Yet, there they hang,collecting dust with the tags still attached.
5. Wannawear This is a very unique portion of our wardrobe, because it exists not in our closets, but on TV, in magazines or draped on a mannequin.  We don’t own these things!  We don’t even bother to try them on because we are positive we don’t have the body for it.

 For over a decade, Cathy Lang has taught women how to customize their workout for the variety of styles each woman wants to wear.  Recently, the former trainer of NFL and NBA athletes brought this straight-forward, highly individualized and personally relevant fashion-based approach to fitness to the masses in her book, Cathy Lang’s Wardrobe Workouts:  Bye Bye Bra Fat (Nightengale Press, 2004).

 “I understand why women workout because I too think about workouts in terms of what I want to wear, and this book can help you look and feel your best in any style, whether an open back dress or low-rise jeans,” explained Lang. “You choose the garment, this book will show you the exercises to look better in it.”

 Cathy Lang’s Wardrobe Workouts addresses the need for both variety and customization to individual need.  Spiral bound to stay open at the gym and split horizontally, the book is formatted in such a way to mix and match outfits and the associated exercises to look better in them. It is available at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, borders.com or through request at your local bookstore.
