The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution: The Slow Motion Exercise That Will Change Your Body in 30 Minutes a Week
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-01 Summary: Better than Pilates for losing inches when incorporated into a more traditional workout schedule. ... I have waited years to review this book: I bought it five years ago with "The Power of Ten" when I was a professional Pilates instructor. At the time, I was 33, and working as a Pilates teacher in the busiest Pilates studio in the city--of which I was the owner. I did this program for three months without following the dietary recommendations other than cutting out bread and pasta. Clients who hadn't seen me in a few months looked dumbstruck when they saw me: "WHAT are you doing? Your hips are gone!" Some people are ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-11 Summary: Enlightening ... In simple, non-scientific language, this book explains why going slow is the way to do it. I've just started using this approach and it seems to work. The book falls a bit short by not showing showing a wide range of exercies. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-10 Summary: It WILL work ... People who are giving this book a poor review either have not read the book (some admitted to that) or are completely missing the point and did not stick to the routine. The bottom line is what gives you the most bang for your buck in the most efficient manner possible. In other words, doing the least in order to get the most. You will get that from this routine. IF you follow the recommendations and stick to it you will be getting a lot of bang and not have to spend hours of your time each week trying to get it. The ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-26 Summary: excellent results, with a few shortcomings ... My background: I lost a significant amount of weight (about 50 pounds) a few years back and have always struggled with that last 15-20 pounds that would really make me look great. I knew that Jillian understood how hard it is for people to lose that last bit of fat; I also knew that doing the same workout routine over and over wasn't going to cut it. THE PROGRAM ABSOLUTELY WORKED in the following ways: 1. The workouts themselves are expertly designed and incredibly challenging. I saw definition in my shoulders and ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-13 Summary: Great book. great plan! ... I followed the 30 day plan a month back and was very successful with it. I made a few modifications. Instead of doing the workouts in the book I did workouts from Jillian's "30 Day Shred" dvd (amazing by the way!). Having had an appendectomy two weeks before going on the plan, the workouts in the book were out of my reach. Actually the first week I didn't even work out, just stuck to the meal plan, and I still lost weight! After making a grocery list of the items I would need to make her exact recipes, I realized that ...more

The Rider's Fitness Program
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-30 Summary: Riders Fitness Program ... This is an interesting book with loads of excersizes but a bit too many gadgets are involved. In order to follow the program it means buying alot of equipment if you do not have a well stocked gym at your home. Take this into consideration when purchasing the book. The time that it would take to go through all the warm up excersizes as well as the actual programmed excersizes is considerable. I took what I could from the book but I have a full time job LOL. Reasonably well written and most the time the excersizes are ...more
