 Truly the Ultimate Book in Fitness March 31, 2009
S. Jo (Queens, NY)
I wish I got this book from the very beginning. It comes with a comprehensive list of exercise routines and programs. It's also peppered with relevant information throughout- from general fitness to how to do an exercise routine better. It even has a recipe section that I'm looking forward to trying out. I was going to take off one star for the lack of an Index section, but that's just nitpicking.
 Kindle edition offers some perks but many drawbacks March 22, 2009

First, this is a very good book. The ideas it presents are solid and workouts doable for the average person.
Pros: The kindle two offers much better images of the pictures than Kindle one. These are vital to understanding the exercises. It can also read the exercise description to you while you do them which is very nice.
Cons: The pictures are small and hard to see. Some pages with extremely small print that I was unable to adjust, don't work well with kindle. Because of the way the book is organized you need to flip back through many pages and chapters. The exercises are in one area and in an other part you will find the reps for the different levels. You can footnote some of them but it is still a time consuming page flip when you are doing your exercise routine.
I like the book enough to buy both editions because I want the audio descriptions to use while doing the exercise. Since you can just as easily read them into your computer and have it read them back, you may want to stick with the book version.
 This is the complete book February 14, 2009

This book should be called the complete exercise book. This book touches on everything. There are sections for the abs, upper body, thighs, hips & butt individually and a complete total-body program as well. They provide ways to do various exercises at home and in the gym. There are even recipes for delicious low-fat meals. The color pictures looked great too. This a well put together book.

I just wanted a book that would help me get started. I'm a smart girl with a little gym experience who just wants to be healthy, I didn't want a book that talked to me like I was dumb, a fitness addict, or someone who'd never sweat a drop in their life. Thankfully, this book was that. Honest information, non-stigmatic, and encouraging with lots of pictures and great workout ideas. Love the personal testimonials, love the yoga section, and love the perfect amount of exercises offered to the reader. Minus one point for too many "don't I look awesome coming out of the pool?" pictures and not enough information on fitness routines you can do at home or how to adapt your routine to a non-fitness oriented environment. Maybe next edition?

I'm terrible I bought this book because a friend recommended it to me and I just haven't been able to follow through it. But, I am also bad at reading fitness books. It has found a good use as a nice prop when sifling beer out.
