This book helped me lose over 60 pounds in a year., April 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Bodies for Beauties : The Fitness Manual for Glamorous Women (Paperback)
This book changed the way I feel about fitness and about my body. It was not only motivational but also quite informational. I learned more about about metabolism and nutrition from the book than I thought I ever could. I consider myself quite intelligent, but when technical and medical terms are used, I get totally lost. The book, however, was well-written, funny, and intelligent, without going over the reader's head. I was so enthused by the first chapter that I read the entire book, all 224 pages, in one sitting. I couldn't tear myself away. If the truth be known, there is only one other book in the whole world that has taught me more about myself and inspired me more - the Bible. I must say I was very impressed with the book.
In January of 1997, I weighed 185 pounds and was wearing a size 20. In October of 1997, I weighed 133 pounds and was a size 9. Since then, I've lost more body fat. "Better Bodies for Beauties" helped bring about a major change in my life, a change I desperately needed. I am very religious and believe that God uses our individual gifts to make differences in people's lives. He gave Mike the talent to make women feel better about themselves, and we are all the better for it. I wonder how many women have been saved from cancer, heart disease, and obesity-related deaths after reading this book? My doctor said the advice is sound, practical, and effective, and he's happy that I made such a change in my lifestyle. I'm so impressed with the book that I'm writing an article about it for the US Army newspaper in Germany, and I'll soon order a book for my best friend. I can't wait until January when I return to the US for good so I can train with Mike. He truly is the best in the business.

This book is clear, concise, motivational, and entertaining., May 22, 1999
This review is from: Better Bodies for Beauties : The Fitness Manual for Glamorous Women (Paperback)
I just completed "Better Bodies for Beauties" and I was quite impressed. After reading so many books and articles on diet and exercise, it is very refreshing to see a book that cuts through all of the confusing and contradictory information. Also, your client list is quite impressive, so yours is the advice I choose to follow.
I am in the process of trying to get back in shape after two very difficult pregnancies with significant weight gains, and from this point on, I am grateful to have the information you have provided in "Better Bodies for Beauties."
Keep up the good work.

A must for any woman wanting to be her physical best, January 16, 2004
This review is from: Better Bodies for Beauties : The Fitness Manual for Glamorous Women (Paperback)
Mike has been my personal trainer for about a year but I have just recently bought his book. I love it. It is full of great information not just on how to exercise but what is happening to you physically during the process. Although I workout the same amount, I feel my workouts are more efficient and do not seem like a chore because I know what is going on. It also includes information on nutrition, not dieting but eating healthy. I would highly recommend this book to women of all ages and sizes who want to be their best physically.
