 - I Love this Book!I bought this book 4 weeks ago and am in love with it. The workouts change every week so you never get bored and their fun. Also the book has tons of color photos and each exercise is clearly described. I am seeing changes in my body and I'm not even done with the 6 week program. If you want a workout program that you'll enjoy and get results than this is the book for you! Rating: - Not just for Women! Not just for Women! As a Doctor of Chiropractic I have encouraged patients of both sexes to buy the book. It is filled with great workouts that can challenge people of all fitness levels. Targeted at the muscles needed to stabilize and support your body (the "core"), not only will this help you tone, but strengthen as well. Karon integrates exercises like Pilates (long a favorite exercise of dancers) with exercises usually only performed by elite athletes like "plyometrics" and interval training (made popular recently in an article published in The Australian Journal of Applied Physiology). Pilates was started by Joseph Pilates as a way to rehabilitate wounded soldiers during World War I. It emphasizes control, strengthening and stretching of key muscles in the body. Plyometrics uses quick short movements to help build strength, and speed. Interval training usually involves high speed workouts along with lower intensity workouts such as sprints, while performing a longer run. Interval training helps burn calories and increases cardiovascular fitness. Karon's program is FUN! Her writing style is easy to read, follow, and is entertaining. She takes you from the basics, to more advanced exercises as your skills improve. By the time you're done you'll have a better body, not just a better "bikini body." Rating:  - very helpful, and has very descriptive exercises for toning, etc. The book is helpful. It has many different exercises, and it specicifies what body part you will be working. I would highly recommend this book. Rating: - Excellent book!This is an excellent book for those looking to slim down and tone up in the promised time-frame. The book provides easy to follow instructions aided by well shot pictures. I highly recommend this for those looking to tone up for the summer. Rating: - AMAZING!!I followed the book exactly and I achieved the promise results in the short time span of 6 weeks. This book is no joke! I cannot express how much I recommend this book, if you want amazing results quickly then simply buy it. A+
