It's been working for me!!!!

This book has really helped me lose weight and be confident. I have lost 10 in about the first month ( 5 of it was those bounds that always go up and down). Now I'm not going to lie, this is not the easiest thing I have done, so far it has taken me longer than 20min everyday and I've beed doing this a little more than a month. I also dont follow the diet. I am eating healthier but i eat what i want sometimes. I suggest to try this book because it has worked for me. just to let you know i am an 14 year old and i was 165 and im down to 155 and still losing after a bit over a month!

Great for all teens!

This book is what teens need: a simple, effective, and non-time consuming workout. It alternates upper and lower body to let muscles revive from the previous day's workout, and includes AWESOME diet tips, detailed exercise info, reasons why you should exercise and myths explained.If you're having trouble getting through this workout, start easy and build up. For the first week, I did it without weights to learn the movements. And if it's taking any longer than 30 minutes for you, it's probably because you're just beginning and you're taking the time to flip pages, rest a little longer, and make sure you're doing each exercise correctly. Once you have it down, the upper body part (at least) should take only 20 minutes. The lower's harder for me, so it takes longer. This book is inspirational and it works! I'm in my second week and I can tell a difference already! Plus it's easy and cheap to do at home, requiring minimal space and a few inexpensive dumbbells. Try it, you'll see!

Excellent Work-out!

I bought the "Toning for Teens" book back in February. I started working out on Feburary 15th, using the exercises in the book. It is now May 14th, and I have gone down 2 sizes, and still am getting smaller! Everyone is noticing the difference! This book is amazing!

This WORKS!!

I got this book after it was reccomended by a friend who said it did wonders for her. I'm not that much overweight, but definatly not toned, and had some extra 'baggage'. ;-) I've only been going three weeks, and I love it!!! I've already noticed a difference!! I didn't think there actually were any programs out there that could do this! It does take longer the first few days, but after a week it shouldn't take more than about half an hour, or a little longer for the lower body exercizes if you're *really* out of shape and can't take the crunches and stuff.

Stop worryig about your body TODAY!!!!

I bought this book hoping that it would help me out, so I wouldn't be so self-concious. Well, all I can say is... MONEY WELL SPENT!!!! I LOVE this book, it has truly helped me, and I'm not even through the amount of time the book says it takes to get your ideal body, and I'm already getting compliments! The best part about it is that it only really takes about 30 minutes, and yes, the first few times you go a little more slowly. But I workout while watching my favorite show, so I don't have to give up any time that I would have spent in front of the tv anyway! In all truth, buy this book if you are really worried about your body in any way, it really helps!
