The Best Friends' Guide to Getting Fit

What an insirational read!! This book not only gives you step-by-step instuctions as to how to begin and maintain a fitness program, but it also describes the journey of two remarkable women - their struggles, triumphs, and inspirational anecdotes. I highly recommend this book to women of all ages - young, older, or in between. You will certainly connect with their experiences and draw strength from their lessons learned. I am well on my way to acheiving my own personal goals and couldn't have done it without the support and commaraderie of a friend - a "must" according Kris and Kim. This book is a key to fitness success!!

I love this book!

I love this book! It's highly motivating and inspirational for all women, especially those thinking being fit is out of reach. I found it be an honest and realistic story about the journey to fitness. It's not about perfection, which is so refreshing in this day and age of quick fixes and impossible standards. You can hear the enthusiasm in their voices when they talk about how being fit has transformed their lives and how it's possible for all of us to do the same! Plus, these best friends cover it all for us from how to start, what to wear, what to expect, and how to take it to the next level. A truly wonderful book!

Wonderfully honest and an excellent exercise reference!

Yes! yes! yes! This book is much more than an exercise book -- it is an honest review of day-to-day life and its impact on us as women. Kris' and Kim's early experiences can be translated into most of our lives - so what a comfort to know that with some effort, it doesn't have to be this way! I appreciated the authors' honesty too -- that even after this total mind/body makeover they still don't look like supermodels and they even get BO -- but they are healthier inside and out. That is the difference. This book is easy to read and offers good mental AND physical exercise advice.

More than a fitness book , friendship that empowers & grows

This is more than a how to get fit book. It is a remarkable and revealing story of two woman with different backgrounds that came together with a common goal of getting fit but learned so much more. I believe young Mothers in particular, would benbefit from reading this book and could make a significant difference in their lives. Nora Smith, Sausalito, California
