I like the three-week concept most of all

I have previously tried the workout portion of the "Body for Life" (BFL) program, and while it is nice to just do the weights 3 times per week, I was limited in the amount of weights I could lift more by how heavy a dumbbell I could hold than by the weight my muscles could do.I have now begun this workout, and while I have been sick several times in the 4 weeks I have been doing it (I have a 3-year old, and seem to catch everything!), I do like this workout. It is with weights I can lift, and seems to work my muscles more at a lower weight than the BFL workout. I can also do the workout at home more easily, so that I only have to visit the gym on the aerobics days (easier to explain to a 3-year old than daily visits). The workouts are the same length as BFL, which I like - but it is also a full body workout every time, which I like even more (BFL is either upper or lower).I also like the concept of 3 weeks at a time - I figure I can do anything for 3 weeks. Also, the theory is that habits form in that amount of time - good reason for the length.I wish everyone who tries this program lots of luck.

Body, Mind Workout with Fantastic Results!

This workout program is for the beginner, intermediate and advanced. My husband and I started out with intermediate and can't get over the results in 21 days! We eat healthier, love the committment to personal time with each other and our energy and mindset is lifted. Especially with a 4year old and 18month old! Highly recommend to anyone who wants guaranteed results physically and mentally and at any fitness level!

I can workout at home with clear instruction

I love this book! I picked it up for the pictures (beautiful)--and bought it because of the trainers personal fitness story--which I read in the bookstore. It inspired me to workout that evening--as i felt she was talking to my sense of strength. The first part of the book is inspirational to anyone that wants to take control of their fitness. The second part is the program itself. I can do it at home-- I am using my son's weight set to do the program. The only thing I had to buy was the Swiss ball. The exercises are interesting--some of them I never saw before--yet they make sense--full body exercises. The instruction is clear with each exercise and the tips Wini gives make sense to remember during my workout.. So far--feeling good--looking forward to a video companion.

Why not start a good habit?

We all know it only takes a couple of weeks to make something you do into a habit. Why not make it a good habit? This book has something for everyone. For the beginner, there is inspiration, clear written instructions and great photographic instruction. For the former athlete, there are guidelines to getting started again. For the avid exerciser, there is a back-to-basics reality check.Best of all the authors don't tell you what to eat!

An inspiring message on every page

Montel Williams and his personal trainer, Wini Linguvic's fitness book is more than just a book of great photos and clear exercise descriptions. It is about focus, believing in yourself and making positive changes. It is about strength and control. It is a philosophy of living. And, mostly, it is about attitude. Yes, you can do it. That's the inspiring message on every page of this book. Montel himself is grappling with a chronic illness, multiple sclerosis. And yet he just keeps going, understanding that as he pushes his body, he is empowering himself in every aspect of his life. Wini's been his trainer for the past five years and he attributes her approach to training as not only changing his body, but to changing his life. Wini has lived this philosophy all her life. She's been training her body since she was a teenager and training clients for the past 15 years. As she says, "It's not just my body I've built in the gym." She's helped people achieve more results than they ever though they could achieve and now, together with Montel, she is reaching out to a larger public. Step by step, she takes you through the exercises and the clear photographs and descriptions make them especially easy to follow. They're very basic, but what is different is the philosophy behind them, the BodyChange philosophy. She guides you through the motions of the exercises and also guides you through the changes in thinking that will help you succeed. By following her program for just 21 days you will begin to form the habits that will last you a lifetime. I'm proud and delighted to say that I'm Wini's mother. It's a joy to know how much she contributes to the world by devoting her life to helping people shape their bodies and attain their goals. She's quiet, strong and determined. There are a lot of photos of Wini in the book and she looks beautiful. But her beauty goes much deeper than that. Reading her words will help you understand. There is inspiration to gain from this book. Everyone can benefit from it. Highly recommended.
