Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-Fitness expert Vedral offers up a practical and doable workout specifically aimed at helping adolescent girls tone and firm their muscles using free weights. The 20-minute routine alternates upper-body work one day with lower-body work the next, and requires only three sets of inexpensive dumbbells and a bench or step. The author emphasizes sound nutrition and exercise information, dispelling common myths related to weight training, offering balanced advice on eating, and listing tips for maintaining fitness in problem situations. She writes enthusiastically, encouraging girls to strive for excellence in their personal health and life choices. The exercises are clearly described, and illustrated with photos of teens performing the routines. The reason for each exercise is stated, and tips for doing it correctly are included. A good companion to Jake Steinfeld's Get Strong!: Body by Jake's Guide to Building Confidence, Muscles, and a Great Future for Teenage Guys (Fireside, 2002).

It's been working for me!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Toning for Teens: The 20 Minute Workout That Makes You Look Good and Feel Great (Paperback)
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!,
By Katie "ktrj720" (Louisiana, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toning for Teens: The 20 Minute Workout That Makes You Look Good and Feel Great (Paperback)
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!,
By "thecurerocks" (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toning for Teens: The 20 Minute Workout That Makes You Look Good and Feel Great (Paperback)
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!
