I enjoy activities like cycling and hill climbing, but exercises I do mostly to tone my body, not for fun.
I was looking for exercises that are easy to do, I can do preferably from the home, and don't take up too much time. I tried to combine exercises from various books I had, but as I did not really know if I made the right combinations I was soon discouraged.
The great thing about this book is that it has already done all that for me. The exercses are clearly explained and the photos are helpful too. But more, there is a whole exercise plan already made up.
You start with 21 mins of exercise every day for a period of 21 days. On the days when you do abs exercises, you only do 8 mins of exercises, the rest of the 21 mins you can fill with the cardio activity of your choice. This is perfect for someone like me who has had little training of abs.
After 21 days, you get a more flexible training plan and you don't have to exercise every day although it is recommended. There is a lot of variety in the exercises and if you follow the routine your whole body gets toned. I am thinking of getting another book in this series to throw even more exercises in the mix.
I gave this book five stars because the essential part of the book are the exercises and the exercise routines, and I love these very much.
However, the book as a whole is not perfect. The section of nutrition is too hard to follow and also rather fussy for someone who is just trying to get fit. This does not matter much to me because I got the book for the exercises and I follow my own nutrition rules (which is basically just trying to eat healthy)
Also, I think it is wrong to assume that this book is suitable for absolute beginners.
I recommend this book to everyone who has had a bit of exercise before and is looking for an effective way to tone the whole body in little time.

I wonder how much trial and effort is behind this book? From what I read in this well-illustrated, plainly-written guide I think this is not a bodily-improvement manual for the average woman and is more suited to someone who is already a fitness and health fanatic. I'm trying to incorporate a few exercises here into my morning yoga but I don't think I'd embrace the entire program. That's just me, though. I don't think anything presented here will harm anyone but it's also not going to be easy enough that anyone can pick up this book, read a few chapters and get going to where she'd see immediate benefit. I guess what I'm saying is the jury is still out on this since I've only had it six days and it's too severe and intimidating for just anyone to get major use from it. But, again, that's just my opinion and the important thing about any exercise or body enhancement project is to simply GET MOVING. If this helps with that then it's done what it's supposed to do. Best of luck on your road to betterment!For my background, I have done weight training off and on for many years. While I agree with the others that this book is written for a women with some weight training experience, a person in reasonable shape who took it slow could also benefit from this book.I used this book in my second trimester of my pregnancy to get back into shape after being sick for 3 months and was not able to exercise much. I got back into shape fast much to the help of using exercises from the book.
I love how it combined workouts and had many great pictures to illustrate to exercises. A must have for busy women who want to be in good shape but don't have a lot of time to spend in the gym.
