Summary: Faithful Facerciser for many years
Review: I just finished doing my Facercise exercises. Started Facercising when I was in my mid-40s and my face/neck were heading south. I've had the great fortune of studying with Carole Maggio. I use her books and video to remind myself how to do the exercises properly.Just celebrated my 57th BD and can't imagine what I'd look like without this easy and amazing program. Facercise lifted my cheeks to my 30-something level, filled in the hollow area around my mouth, have kept my eyes firm and toned, and took away that thin, chicken-looking neck that was making its appearance. People don't believe me when I tell them my age, especially my gay male friends. Facercise is the fastest way to erase those telltale signs of aging in a natural way. I am eternally grateful for Carole Maggio and this remarkable program!

Summary: TAKE FACERCISE SERIOUSLY
Review: I have been doing the FACERCISE exercise program for about a year now. I purchased the book - absolutely loved it. Then I purchased the video. Loved that, too. Actually, I think the video makes the exercise program easier to follow than just using the book because you can actually see Carole Maggio showing you, on tape, how to do the exercises. This was a tremendous help to me because I think you can probably do the exercises wrong if you don't know how to do them. I found that out when I started working out in my gym, before I got a personal trainer to help me. I notice a definite improvement in my overall appearance in the year or so that I've been doing the exercises. I was kind of surprised to see one of the reviewers state that maybe the FACERCISE program might have caused lines in her forehead right away. That's silly. Lines don't appear ANYWHERE on your body right away. Ask any Doctor or Physical Trainer about that. Age causes those lines. Everyone also knows ( or should know) that exercising will postpone those lines, but no amount of exercising will keep those lines away forever. Maybe some people just have expectations which are too high to be realistic or maybe they just don't work the program wholeheartedly. I also exercise in the gym regularly. I am in much better shape, both physically and cosmetically than I was when I started out with these exercise programs about a year ago. I think my body looks better and I KNOW my face does because I get compliments on it now. I didn't use to. I firmly believe that anyone who REALLY wants to make a difference in how they look can. But, you definitely have to make the commitment to go that extra mile. However, as someone once said, "There's not much traffic on that extra mile." Carole Maggio, thank you for your great book and for making these face exercises available to all of us out here. I appreciate it and I know others do, too.

Summary: A MUST READ For Any Woman Over 40!
Review: = A MUST READ For Any Woman Over 40!
Reviewer: A reader from Atlanta, GA
The New Facercise is a must read for any woman over 40 years of age! Not only are the exercises easy to follow, they really do work! It takes a little time, you must go slow and be patient, but it's well worth it! If people have trouble following instructions in general -- they might be better served using the video which is very inexpensive. Personally, I found the book to be very well written, as well as funny! I must say I have changed my entire face with this fine program....my brows are lifted, my cheeks full and lifted, my nose is perkier, my jaw firm and my lips are plump! Who could ask for more? The book also has many tips which I have followed like, taping between your brows in the evening to prevent night-time furrows. It sounds silly, but it works! Also, Carole makes recommendations on products with the newest ingredients in them like spin trap and D20. These products are the newest and most advanced available on the market today! I would never have heard of these products, had I not read her book! So all around, I'd have to say that in my book, The New Facercise is a MUST READ for anyone over 40 or for anyone seeking a TRUE NATURAL FACELIFT!! Thanks Carole!

Summary: These exercises helped my TMJ more than physical therapy!
Review: I couldn't believe it when I saw the latest review on Carole's book. This person states that any of the exercises where you move your jaw could exacerbate the problem of TMJ. First of all, there is only one exercise, out of the 14 Carole has created, where you move your jaw. Second of all, if the person truly READ the instructions in the book, he or she would have seen that Carole carefully instructs the reader to "open and close the jaw in a slow scooping motion using the corners of the mouth to open and close the jaw." Therefore, by using the mouth corners the jaw is and should be out of the picture!! Personally, I came upon these exercises wanting to create a firmer and wider face, which by the way I'm happy to say, I achieved! Not to mention I knocked 10 years off my looks. However, I also came to the program with a TMJ problem. I previously spent about 6 months in physical therapy and let me tell you...after I stopped the therapy, the pain came right back (sort of felt like a toothache!) I have been doing Facercise for almost 3 years now and am happy to report I have NEVER experienced a day with TMJ pain since starting this program. I think the previous reviewer has another underlying issue because Facercising could never cause a TMJ problem, it can only help it! So keep Facercising fellow TMJ'ers -- it really and truly works!

Summary: World Famous for a reason!!
Review: After reading about Facercise in Harper's & Queen magazine having been voted one of the 100 top beauty products in the world, I ran out & bought the book & video. I have a high stress job which puts me in front of the camera and my appearance is critical to my job performance. I was getting callogen injections every few months to plump my lips and smooth my lip lines. After using the Facercise techniques for several weeks my lips actually plumped up and my lip lines smoothed. I was also grinding my teeth at night due to a stressful schedule and developed TMJ. The excercises have released the stress and relaxed and strengthened my facial muscles so I no longer grind my teeth which eliminated TMJ problem. Impressive results for very little effort!

Summary: Carole Maggio looks good in print -- better in person!
Review: I JUST HAD to respond to the woman who wrote in about her disappointment about Carole Maggio's Facercise book and the supposed no change in Carole's face from "Figure 1" to "Figure 2" while performing the exercises. First off, newsflash here....books don't move like motion pictures, what does the reader expect?!!! The reviewer goes on to say how she looks like an "airbrushed 18 year old"!! Ha! Well if you think she looks THAT good in the book -- that is just a wonderful testimony to how well these exercises REALLY do work!!! In fact, I am just one of the lucky people who's been personally trained by Ms. Maggio, and I can attest to the fact that "airbrushed" she's not. She actually looks that good in person and even better! It appears to me that the BAD review has actually turned into a positive one! Carole has been working her own program for over 20 years and has the youthful face to prove it! Anyone who can't follow the instructions in the book, and by the way, many CANNOT follow simple book instructions, SHOULD buy the video and accompanying cd. They are a very inexpensive investment, and WELL WORTH their weight in RESULTS! I purchased the video because I wanted a reminder of Carole's hands-on instructions and after about 6 months time, I have the face of a person 10 years younger than when I started!! If you ask me ... the Facercise program truly works wonders!

Summary: Facercise by Carole Maggio
Review: This is an extraordinary program...bottom line...works! I cannot believe my eyes...and my girlfriends are completely blown away by the results that I have achieved. I wouldn't stop doing this facial exercise program for anything. I've been doing it for three years and I just found a photo that was taken of me eight years ago...and I look so much younger now!

Summary: The book is interesting, but the video is easier to follow.
Review: I love the Facercise system, but got the video first. I saw serious improvement in my hooded eyelids and double chin within 7 days. Have now been practising for nearly one month and continue to see progress. I decided to get the book because I am hooked on the system and wondered if there would be any helpful additional information - of which there was some. However overall if you're choosing between the book and the video for a kick start, I don't think you could beat the latter.

Summary: Great new book, but the video is just amazing!
Review: I purchased Carole Maggio's Facercise book and really liked it. However, once I purchased the video, I really began to see results! You can't believe what a difference I saw in my face in just one week's time. That's doing the exercise routine for just 12 minutes a day using the audio cassette which comes with the video! I really enjoy having Carole's book as a "reference guide", but the video and audio cassette that accompany it are like having her right there in the flesh as your own "personal trainer!" The video guides you through all of the exercises, showing you the proper form and the audio cassette is like having Carole standing over you telling you to "Pump, pump, pump! In JUST 7 DAYS my cheeks have raised up on my face (no implants here!), my lips are plumped up, heh no collagen!, and my eyes look like I've had an eye lift -- a natural one! Gotta get the video/audio cassette to go with the book....they are the best!! Facercise....gotta love it!
