From Library Journal
Timed to meet the New Year's Resolution demand for diet and exercise books, these two titles present programs aimed at two distinct audiences. The Bensons, creators of the best-selling The FIRM aerobic exercise and weight-training videos, outline a sensible program of eating based on the food pyramid, as well as their renowned workout. With a crusading spirit that will appeal to women looking for a jazzy package, the pseudonymous High Voltage, on the other hand, presents an energy program that eliminates flour, salt, and sugar from the diet and focuses on commitment to regular exercise. The book includes recipes in addition to exercises, but the bulk of the text is a pep talk that should inspire any couch potato to get moving. Both programs will be effective if followed conscientiously, but the Bensons' approach will be boring to some, while High Voltage's relentless good cheer will turn off others. Most public libraries will want to buy both.?Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, Ohio
