Summary: Absurd
Review: Absurd
In addition to being absurd and insulting, this program hasn't even been substantiated. If it worked, the experienced professionals in the fitness industry would have recommended it. They haven't.
The title of the book says it all: 7 minute? Miracle?
Here's a title: marketing.
Once again perpetuating the "spot reduction" myth--in seven minutes no less--to the uninformed. This book was so terrble I put it down after finishing 2/3rds of it.

Summary: Dr. Levine...My Hero
Review: As one of Dr. Levine's patients, I can tell you first hand, the man and his excercises are brilliant. I started The Seven Minute Miracle excercises on a friday and by monday, friends of mine did not recognize me from a distance. The change in my silhouette was that drastic that quickly. Dr.Levine has enabled me to lose over 100 lbs., the last 40 of which I attribute to the excercises alone. The man and his book have changed and saved my life.

Summary: I loved the book
Review: I bought this book 6 months ago. I had been on the Atkins diet and stalled in weight loss so I did lots of research wanting to try something else. Then I got my copy of Woman's World magazine and saw the 7 Minute Miracle. I ordered the book right away and tried the exercises and WOW - the family heritage - big hips slimmed right down! I am 48 years old and when I was thin in my younger years my hips were never this small. I have now joined "Curves for Women" and love that 30 minute workout also and do both to keep in shape. That was 38 pounds ago and will never quite my 7 Minute Miracle workout. Curves maybe.

Summary: didn't work
Review: I've been doing this program for three weeks now and I've lost all of one inch on my abs. I'm not impressed. Bodyflex worked better than this. (nad that prgram stops working after a week or so.)Sorry but I can't say this is the wonder cure. I'm sure if I keep working my abs each day they'd continue to be toned, but the fat is definitely still there.

Summary: It helped me break my family's pot-bellied tradition!
Review: Okay, my first thought when I saw the title was "This guy's nuts. Everyone knows you can't spot reduce!" But being a sucker for anything that promises me a smaller rear-end, I had to give it a try. Here's why it supposedly works: when you exercise, adrenaline and other chemicals are released into your bloodstream causing fat (energy) to be released into your bloodstream for your working muscles to use as fuel. That part is generally accepted as scientific fact. The doctor's theory goes on to conclude that since your working muscles receive a greater flow of blood than the rest of your body (hence the "pump" one gets when a muscle is worked with intensity), more fat will be released in the area where the muscles are working. Before I bought the book, I had been working out consistently for about 8 months and was getting decent results overall (reduced my bodyfat from about 25% to 20%), but my saddlebags (ick!) just didn't want to go away. I added this to my program 3 weeks ago (I do the butt exercises daily) and I truly do see a difference. I only gave the book 4 stars out of five, because the one thing it lacks is scientific support for the spot-reduction theory -- the doctor does include several anecdotes with photos, but no clinical studies to prove that it really works. He also recommends consuming about 1,500 calories a day. Personally, I think that's a bit low -- I weight about 140, get about 30 minutes of exercise a day and eat approximately 1,800 to 2,000 calories daily. So the bottom line -- pun intended :-) -- is this: it's working for me and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a stubborn body part they want to change.
