The AbSmart Fitness Plan: The Proven Workout to Lose Inches and Strengthen Your Core Without Straining Your Back Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the photos included in the book that shows the various techniques and exercises for each part of the stomach and glutes. The Author's explicit, easy-to-understand instructions are accompanied by clear photographs that will help you check your form as he focuses on the specific aspects of alignment, muscle control, and breathing throughout the workout-keys to achieving the maximum benefit from each exercise.
Plus it offers to let the reader start slowly for beginners or choose exercises that work all aspects of your stomach for those who have been working out for years. You don't have to start reading from the beginning. It only takes me about 15-20 minutes a day to do a workout at home. With many options to choose from, these workouts are fun.

He also share important tips for improving your diet without completely giving up the foods you love. Unlike other restrictive diet plans- this program provides you with smart uses of foods and "swap out" certain food groups for lighter, healthier foods to stop the bloating and swelling that occurs. There are good tips about what to eat and why with a good common sense and straight forward apporach you can flatten your stomach and make your stomach stronger.

A very good addition to whatever workout program you are doing if you need some help for just another view on eating as part of getting and staying in shape. Highly recommended to anyone.

Health & Fitness in Plain English Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book in conjunction with "The Ab Revolution" and since putting the advice contained in both into practice, I feel better and more importantly, I feel like I'm getting much more out of my workouts. The books advocate incorporating fitness strategies into your daily life, not just during an hour or two doing obligatory "exercise". I am a real gym rat and enjoy the time I spend there, but I never gave much thought to working on my fitness level throughout the day. For example, now I run up the four flights of stairs at work several times a day to work on my anaerobic capacity, thanks to the abs book and the info on abs in the Health and Fitness book I get a lot more out of my time spent on the stairmaster and elliptical machines because I maintain proper posture.
I always have a million questions related to proper stretching, proper weightlifting technique (eg lower weight more reps? or more weight fewer reps?), etc. and this book is proving to be an invaluable reference tool - so much so that now I schlep it around in my gym bag.
The author does a very good job of explaining complicated exercise physiology so that people like me understand and can apply the concepts. I feel like I'm really progressing now whereas before I always wondered whether I was working hard enough, etc. I've been on a weightloss/fitness building mission for almost a year now and now I'm as motivated as I was in the beginning because I feel like I know what I'm doing.

Prevention's Shortcuts to Big Weight Loss: Slim Your Belly, Butt, and Thighs--And Get Fit Twice as Fast Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over the past year I have lost weight and managed to maintain it. The only problem was I felt like I was a slave to an hour long workout session 5 days per week. This book changed my thinking! Chris presents a way to think about exercise in 10 minute chunks. You can squeeze them in throughout the day instead of skipping workouts because you do not have the time. Her "plateau busting" workouts are worth the price of the book alone. She has many workouts that you can mix and rotate so that you do not get bored. And they are easy to follow, something I have not found with other books. And instead of having to be in a room by yourself doing a DVD, you can hang out with the family watching a TV show while you blast through the calories. Who knows? They may even follow your good example and join in. Mine did. Chris also gives good nutrition advice that helps you get on a healthy track. In summary, whether you are just starting a fitness program (in many ways this book is geared for those starting out) or a seasoned gym rat, this book has something to offer. Shake up your thinking and exercise routine today!

Bikini Bootcamp: Two Weeks to Your Ultimate Beach Body Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The authors have done a good job of integrating mind/body into a holistic approach to health. Recipes are excellent, food is delicious and workouts are hard! Not for the faint of heart. This regimine will require 100% effort to succeed, particularly if you work full time and have a family. Each morning you are required to write in a journal, meditate and do 15 minutes of yoga. In addition each day requires a 30 - 60 minute walk, a 40 minute strength routine, and on alternate days an additional "core" workout for the abs. Plan on spending about 2 hours a day on just these parts. In addition, there is a lot of prep. time in the kitchen. All food is very close to it's natural state and is loaded with veggies, fresh marinades, and sald dressings. Each of these is made from scratch and requires a lot of time. Still, it is an excellent program and I don't see how they could have done it any easier. I suggest buying the fresh ginger and garlic, chopped in jars (as they suggest) and vegetables already chopped etc. to make it easier. Expect your kitchen to be full of dishes constantly if you follow their eating plan closely.
