Product Description
From Amazon.com
Fitness guru Denise Austin helps you "zero in on your personal trouble spots" while increasing metabolism with this 6-week exercise and eating program. Her formula includes toning workouts that target the waist, thighs, abs, buttocks, hip, lower back, and upper arms; regular walking and stretching; and eating strategies (not dieting). Her tips are refreshingly sensible: Avoid chronic dieting (it hurts your health and makes you fatter), stretch to decrease stress, fill up on high-fiber foods, eat a balanced diet, build muscle to increase calorie-burning, and walk almost every day. Austin's clearly illustrated and varied exercises use body weight, dumbbells, resistance bands, or a stability ball. A sample exercise schedule takes 15 to 60 minutes a day. For especially busy days, she offers a series of exercises that work two or more muscle groups at once. Austin's "Shrink-Fat Eating Plan" emphasizes portion control, 1,400 to 1,800 calories, and a nutritional breakdown of 24 percent "good" fat, 20 percent protein, and 56 percent high-quality carbs. Whether you just want a foundation to get started or you need a structured, daily program (including menu plans, shopping lists, and daily logs), you can find it here. Profiles of happy and successful followers of the program add interest. Highly recommended. --Joan Price

Great layout,

This review is from: Shrink Your Female Fat Zones: Lose Pounds and Inches-- Fast!-- From Your Belly, Hips, Thighs, and More (Paperback)
I really like the pictures of the exercises that Denise has in this book. They are easy to follow and give you a good idea of the start position and the doing position. Plus she tells you which body parts/muscles it is targeting. The weekly menu is benefical if you don't want to plan out some meals but I found a lot of the meals to be that of carbs and low fat items which I am not a fan of because of all the un-natural ingredients that are put in them to make them 'fat free'. She would also have treats/snacks that were too sweet for my taste...I can live without maple milk probably because I have never needed it in my life before. Easy enough to subtract items though if need to. There are some great receips that I have taken from this book and continue to use.Definately though, this book is laid out well and the exercises progress bi-weekly. It definatley is a keeper that I can do in the comfort of my own home.

Denise Austin "gets serious" with this book! - AAAAAAAAAAA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shrink Your Female Fat Zones: Lose Pounds and Inches-- Fast!-- From Your Belly, Hips, Thighs, and More (Paperback)
I agree with another reviewer here -- I typically shrug Denise off as I view her as annoyingly "perky" and cannot bear to watch her videos with the sound on. I believe that she knows what she is doing in regard to exercise and that is to her credit, but the "rah-rah cheerleader" delivery is not my cup o' tea!At the bookstore the other day, I came across this title and to my sheer amazement, found it well-researched and completely thorough. I was very impressed at how Denise gives you all the info. that you need to succeed in the weight loss war - menus, 6 weeks of varying exercise programs and specific exercises that focus on your trouble spots, to name a few of the tools she provides. Denise really did her HW with this one. If you are looking for the least painful, most effective way to trim down - this is the best book I have found out there!

It Works,
By Carl Slim (the factory) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shrink Your Female Fat Zones: Lose Pounds and Inches-- Fast!-- From Your Belly, Hips, Thighs, and More (Paperback)
My sister used this book to lose weight she had put on after having a baby-and she was never exactly skinny to begin with. Without too much strain, she has managed to put on 80 lbs. by sitting around, eating bon-bons, and reading this book!Just Kidding!Alright, I know this is serious stuff to some people. The truth is she now looks great, and the attention she gets from guys has increased dramatically-usually it decreases after having a baby, so that's saying something. I think women everywhere should give this a try, but my sister should trade her copy for a box of chocolate bars so I don't have to worry about her so much! If you know a fat woman, get her this. Sorry, I'm just having a hard time taking this seriously.
