Review: I'm pretty pleased by this book. I am always looking for new exercises, and new ways to vary my routine, and this book delivers. It is organized into separate workouts for specific purposes, e.g. weight loss, strength. I've done several of the workouts now, and I find that you can combine them or only do part if you have limited time--a very flexible system. For example, if you don't feel like jumping around, and want a mellow workout, you can do the mind body workout followed by the stretch work out. Some of the exercises are new to me, which I appreciate. The author provides a thorough approach to fitness, and provides a lot of good information. A great addition to my collection.

Summary: This is a great book
Review: Since I was a big fan of Liz's, I was looking forward to picking up this book. I had read Fitness for Dummies and found it to be a great guide for everything but this book is even more practical. The exercises are described in a way that's easy to follow and I "know" I'm doing them right. I also like the way the chapters are broken up. I've only had the book for a few days but I've tried out three routines and found them to be challenging. I'd recommend this book to anyone!!
