Fitness guru Denise Austin helps you "zero in on your personal trouble spots" while increasing metabolism with this 6-week exercise and eating program. Her formula includes toning workouts that target the waist, thighs, abs, buttocks, hip, lower back, and upper arms; regular walking and stretching; and eating strategies (not dieting). Her tips are refreshingly sensible: Avoid chronic dieting (it hurts your health and makes you fatter), stretch to decrease stress, fill up on high-fiber foods, eat a balanced diet, build muscle to increase calorie-burning, and walk almost every day. Austin's clearly illustrated and varied exercises use body weight, dumbbells, resistance bands, or a stability ball. A sample exercise schedule takes 15 to 60 minutes a day. For especially busy days, she offers a series of exercises that work two or more muscle groups at once. Austin's "Shrink-Fat Eating Plan" emphasizes portion control, 1,400 to 1,800 calories, and a nutritional breakdown of 24 percent "good" fat, 20 percent protein, and 56 percent high-quality carbs. Whether you just want a foundation to get started or you need a structured, daily program (including menu plans, shopping lists, and daily logs), you can find it here. Profiles of happy and successful followers of the program add interest. Highly recommended. --Joan Price

 I like this book September 19, 2008
Delaney (WI)
There are some really smart workouts to try in this book. I wish that people who made workout books would make corresponding wall charts, because it is hard to do some moves and refer to the book. I've done them enough that I have my favorite moves memorized. I confess I didn't read much of the front of the book on dieting. I did use some of the gorcery lists and some of the recipes included. I really like the Chicken, wild rice and pine nuts recipe.
This book is a good edition to the bookshelves of people who like to live heathfully. There are a lot of exercises in this book that once remembered can be imporvised just about any where you go. The layout of the book is great, it's easy to follow, easy to understand. I only gave it four stars because not everything can be a five. (woh oh this book has a dvd to compliment it, I'm going to get it and check back with you)

This is a great book by Denise Austin. I am following the walking and exercise routines. I haven't tried the diet part yet. I am definitely getting good results with more energy, and increased muscle tone.

Any beginner will be able to pick this book up and make immediate improvements in their fitness and health.
All areas are adressed and I'm happy to see a decent flexibility program covered as well.
As a professional trainer - it is always nice to see a good resource for the new exerciser.
Ladies, if you are just starting out, give this one a look.

Practical and educating. March 24, 2006

I found this book to be helpful in my understanding of the female body.Given that I work with many female executives,I found this information to be very useful in designing my clients' workouts-especially the female body composition.
I liked the fact that the book showed me ways of getting the most out of the block of time I have for my clients.Most of them come in over lunch hour to train, the gyms are packed and there is no time to think and search.This book give me insights on how to save and maximize on the time that I have, and my clients really appreciate it.

If you want a book to give you lessons on what exercises are the best for you and a few meals to use this book may be for you. I found that you can get the same exercises listed in most videos and dvd's that denise austin has previously released. Also, the meals she gives you might work if you were just going to make 2-servings, they don't always work as well when increased for a family.
