For more than a decade, Aleisha has contributed to health and fitness publications including TIME, Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Runner’s World, SELF, SHAPE, U.S. News & World Report, Everyday Health, Men’s Fitness, Furthermore by Equinox, and Girls Gone Strong.
But let’s face it, sometimes articles just aren’t long enough! Aleisha’s women’s fitness books (OK, she’s actually got some fitness books for guys too!) are a great way for people to take a deep dive into the subjects that matter most to them, no matter where they are in their fitness journey.
My Pocket Guide to Stretching
Now more than ever, we need to take a moment for ourselves…and our sore muscles! As working from home becomes the norm for many people, bad posture and aches and pains are taking over.
My Pocket Guide to Stretching helps you soothe sore muscles, promote flexibility, and take a moment to calm your mind wherever you find yourself. This portable, compact book allows you to stretch when and where you want, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced stretcher.
With expert advice and simple illustrations showing you how to do each stretch, targeting every body part, and then showing you how to put the stretches together for a whole body routine, this little book can help you shake off tightness and start living a more relaxed and flexible life.

“I sit all day, every work day, and it takes a big toll on how my body feels. While I try to stay active when I can, sometimes I don’t have time for a big workout. This is why I love My Pocket Guide to Stretching. It gives me the ability to get some stretches in whenever, wherever I want, and I don’t feel like I need to commit to a big time frame to do it. I’ve already learned a few stretches that I do sitting at my desk to keep my body limber. I love this book because it makes me feel better!”- Eileen M.

Give Yourself MORE
The pursuit of LESS gets women… very little. In Give Yourself MORE, Aleisha and Georgie Fear, RD, teach you how to flip the script on losing mindsets so you can change your body and life for the positive. (No, you haven’t ever read a women’s fitness book like this before.)
They ask, what if you stopped trying to subtract from your life (and erase your so-called “faults”), and started adding to it? What if your priority wasn’t on shrinking portions, cutting carbs, or burning calories, but giving yourself MORE of everything you need to thrive?
The answer: You would learn to live more fully, love your body, and take up the space you deserve… mentally, emotionally, and physically.
You’d create healthy habits that would fill you up rather than drain you. You would lose weight and keep it off—by defying diet culture.
Reviews
“Georgie and Aleisha have written a manifesto for the modern woman. They’ve given us the science to back up what already makes intuitive sense: We deserve to be healthier. We deserve to enjoy our lives. I want to hand a copy of Give Yourself MORE to all of my girlfriends, the women I serve with in the Navy, and to every female patient I see. I think they’re ready for MORE. I know I am.”

“Give Yourself MORE expertly breaks down why diet culture doesn’t work for anyone—and provides a much-needed antidote that transforms healthy habits from punishments into indulgences. It’s an essential guide for anyone looking for easy, actionable ways to flip the script on what it means to make healthier choices.”

“This is the Rosetta Stone of helping women unlock their potential and create a mindset that will support their goals. Since 90% of my gym members are women, I read it for my clients, but found it wonderfully eye-opening for my own fitness journey. If you help others or want an edge for yourself, Georgie and Aleisha have packed this book with an evidence-based framework that will enable you to achieve MORE!”
– Dave Rascoe, CFSC
Founder, LIFT Personal Training & Nutrition Coaching
“Our flawed, harmful cultural beliefs about women and their bodies are deeply entrenched, so if we’re going to get to a future where deprivation and punishment are replaced with nourishment and joy, we need voices like Aleisha’s and Georgie’s to help us navigate this new terrain with compassion, evidence-based insight, and actionable steps toward true wellbeing.”
– Cathryne Keller
Wellness Editor, O, The Oprah Magazine
“I’ve been in the fitness field for a decade, and have yet to find a resource I can trust and believe in for women who want to do anything but lose that last five pounds…until now. If you suspect that diet culture’s “less is more” ethos is a twisted lie, pick up this book and read it today. You won’t find anything more comprehensive, direct, thoughtful, researched, and applicable as what’s inside. This is a difference-maker. Aleisha and Georgie are leading a charge for MORE, and I’m so excited to be rallying alongside them! Once you’ve read Give Yourself MORE, you will be too.”
– Kourtney A. Thomas, CSCS
