What I Liked
I like that this was designed for various stages of women, from getting back to the exercise, to the sometimes exerciser, to the ‘die hard’ offering four- 15 minute workouts that you can do from home.
I like that it comes with a “Live Action” DVD- demonstrating all four exercise programs
I like that the author Joan Pagano is a respected NY personal trainer, with 20+ years of experience at designing personalized programs.
I like the hot pink cover and step-by-step demonstration photos, with a fit, yet ‘real’ model
I like the exercises- the program is set up for 3 times a week at 15 minutes- easy to fit in a busy schedule. (Trust me- I know!)
What I Didn’t Like
I didn’t like the gatefold pages at the end of each program. The step-by-step pages are meant for a visual, yet I find them awkward. It may have been easier if the page was perforated on the left side so you could remove it and lay it flat.
I didn’t like- and have found it the same in most exercise books- that none of them offer storage tips for the exercise equipment you need. In this book you need two sets of free weights (3 and 5 lb), exercise mat and a medicine ball. But if you are like me- you are probably exercising in the family room- and do not want to be able to store these items in an ‘out-of-sight’ place. The point after all- is that this exercise program can be done quickly- and you will see results quickly- I do not want to spend ten more minutes gathering equipment I have shoved in a plastic tub in the basement!
Over all- this is a good work out book, and worth the money. The results? I will keep you posted—as I have committed to doing the 3 work outs a week- and will let you know the results in September!
Congratulations Joan- I think you have a winner here!
