Editorial Review:Amazon.com Review:Whether you want toned arms for your sleeveless gown or flat abs for your honeymoon bikini, certified trainer Sue Fleming can help you get in better shape for your wedding, even if you have only six months. This slim (106-page) book presents a six-month strength-training daily workout guide with cardio recommendations and a "crash program" if theres only 12 weeks before the wedding. The strength-training exercises are basic, beginning workouts using dumbbells, stability ball, step, and ankle weights, all clearly explained and illustrated.
The cardio recommendations are very general--for instance, 75 minutes per week for weeks five and six, doing one or two activities that raise your heart rate for most of your workout, which should last at least 25 minutes. Sadly, Fleming runs through just a few ways (walking, running, and biking) to get aerobic exercise, but doesn't explore the huge array of cardio options or give much detail on this essential fitness component. Recommended for beginning exercisers who are committed to following a regular program and need specific strength-training exercises.

I've been doing this workout for about four weeks and I am already seeing TREMENDOUS results. My arms are more toned than they've ever been, and I am actually close to seeing a flat stomach on me for the first time in my life! The workout is really ideally structured (picks up in intensity as the wedding date approaches--there are three- and six-month programs), and each exercise is very clearly described.
I have three minor complaints about this book. The first is that you have to keep ...

Just based on the title, you can't expect much about dieting, but I was at least hoping for more than how to balance my meals. She tells you things like "you should eat 15-20 percent of your calories from proteins," but that requires actually planning my meals for the whole day...something I can't easily do. I wish she had some examples of daily menus and how the foods you eat can boost your performance when you work out. Besides that, I love this book. Each and every exercise has a clear picture ...

I bought this book to get ready for my upcoming wedding this summer. It's a great book. It's very easy to read and has a great personal touch. I love how she has pre-planned the workouts and is giving realistic time frames. I read it in one day and I love her exercises. They are very reasonable and she explains them great.

This book is awesome! It is easy to follow and includes a well balanced weight training program. There are pictures of each exercize as well as differentiation for Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced levels. Plus, you don't need much equipment to get the job done! Just a few handweights and an exercise ball. I showed this book to a personal trainer and he said it is exactly the same as routines that he designs for $75 a session. Great Buy!

When I first received this product, my husband (then fiancee) was a bit concerned about the title. Buff he said?? I calmed him down by saying that the book was all about toning and firming. It is arranged by area you would like to work on, like arms, back, chest, tummy, and butt. It was nice to have specific exercises for target areas. I really felt like it worked and I felt beautiful on my wedding day.
I thought the suggested programs were helpful as it had specifics on which exercises ...
