piece of ...,
By Brigitta Robertson (Auburn, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bottoms Up! (Paperback)
Those other reviewers are probably people that helped write the book. I had to search all over to find the right instructions to each exercise. Some of them were so complicated I couldn't even do them. I'm in pretty good shape but how can you sit on a bench holding a five pound weight with your feet and lift your legs up without falling backward? Plus there were too many exercises for one workout. I think you could spend much less time and get better results. Joyce says that these workouts take thirty minutes but it took me an hour to get one workout completed. (That's how long they are) The only good thing about this book were the pictures. But that's a given that in a weightlifting book that you need pictures. The other thing that I didn't like about this particular fitness book was the eating plan the author had set up in the book. Come on guys! We all finally know that pasta and starches are not going to make you thin! They'll just add more insulin to your body which will turn into fat and therefore make it much harder for you to to burn the fat you already have!...But back to the book. Joyce should have done her research more carefully and made the instructions easier for us readers....

It works. No more cellulite!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bottoms Up! (Paperback)
I had bumpy fat all my life, even when I was thin (memorable quote from an ex-boyfriend: "For a skinny girl, you sure have a lot of cellulite."). I had also tried lifting weights before with no success. In her book, Joyce Vedral has come up with a system that works--it gets rid of cellulite and builds muscle. I used this book to gain muscle & lose 25 pounds of fat, and I ended up with NO CELLULITE. I wore miniskirts for the first time in my life and was proud to show off my strong upper body, too. Then, for eight years, I was dumb and didn't work out, eventually accumulating about 40 pounds of fat. This spring I decided to get my old body back, so I immediately got out Joyce's book and dusted off the weights. Now it's going even better than before, maybe because I didn't completely lose my former muscle. I'm 41 and feel like my metabolism is actually speeding up thanks to Joyce's workout. I'm now 20 pounds from my target weight, but people have already started complimenting me on my weight loss, and I'm wearing smaller sizes than I would have expected. It's the muscle. It improves my posture, gives my upper body a nice V shape, holds in my stomach, and gives me confidence and energy. My butt has practically disappeared and my, um, chest is getting firm and lifting. Joyce doesn't go into much detail on how to avoid soreness. You might want to warm up with about 5 minutes of aerobics before starting, stretch a little when you're done, drink a lot of water, and make sure you get enough calcium, magnesium, and potassium. I do these things and only occasionally have sore muscles, even though I'm working hard and clearly building muscle. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose fat and get strong. And it takes only 30 minutes a day!

Great....but,
By MotherLodeBeth "MotherLodeBeth" (Sierras of California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bottoms Up! (Paperback)
This is a GREAT book. I would only caution that if you are obese that no you won't be physically sexy within the In 24 Workout Hours, but you will be more sexy mentally since the program will change your attitude. And if you're one of those people whop gets easily discouraged you need to realize that she teaches a tough lifestyle choice, that if you stick with it for a couple of weeks you will see results. I personally like the emphasis on healthy heart and stronger bones from the weight bearing exercises that weights provide. And her ideas WORK! And have been proven by reputable independent sources like medical and sports fitness experts, to WORK. She also has an excellent website under her name, where you will discover she is for REAL. She was FAT and got FIT. So it isn't as if she was 10 lbs overweight and needed to lose some weight. But a woman who realized that eating right and getting the physical workout is what was needed. Now her weight and fitness fits her body frame. And she sure proves that being over age 50 doesn't mean you have to look OLD and flabby!
