Product Description
Product Description
We are increasingly under pressure to improve our physical appearance and there is the additional, and perhaps even more serious, pressure placed on us by the current 'obesity epidemic'. Put simply, many of us need to lose weight in order to enjoy a healthy and longer life. The problem is that the majority of advice that we receive does not take into account our body type (broadly, there are three for men and four for women), which is the single biggest factor on our body shape. Unless we have an understanding of this then there is little prospect of seeing any results from time spent in the gym, no matter how much effort we put in. This book explains the concept of body shape, helping the reader to: identify their body type and shape, set realistic goals for that body shape, develop a programme suited to their body shape, work out what is best to eat for their body type. Not only does this guarantee results, but it also helps the reader to appreciate their own physique and what they can achieve, rather than constantly comparing themselves to an unattainable ideal.

What a fantastic book, I'm so into fitness and I love Ms Sandrys contribution to the fitness world and often follow other stuff she publishes in magazines. This book is realistic, manageable and gives brilliant results. A great buy.

I saw this book advertised in the UltraFit magazine I get, in which Sandry writes some articles and as her pieces are usually rather enjoyable I thought I would give it a go. I found it was hard to tell who the book was aimed at as it is heavy on the science aspect of losing weight such as chemical reactions etc which would you think a fitness enthusiast would appreciate, but not all that heavy on the actual exercises which seemed to be mostly mat based and perhaps something that would probably appeal to someone who isnt and doesnt want to be a member of a gym and wants to undertake something light at home. I would have preferred more ideas for exercise plans to follow rather than being shown some exercises and then being left to string them all together. Although this is where an actual personal trainer would take over! I also didnt expect it to be so quick a read. I think it needs less science bumf and a balance of gym based plans and things to do at home to cover more clients requirements
Format:Paperback
A really good workout book that takes you from absolute beginner to fully fledged exercise junkie using exercises tailored for your specific body shape. Caroline makes exercising fun.
