Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2010

Even in times as tough as these, you can still shape up like a celebrity, and you can do it without having to earn a celebrity paycheck. With over twenty years of experience in the field of fitness, Cornel Chin has used his unique training methods to train the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Colin Firth, Audrey Tautou, and Tilda Swinton. Now, through Celebrity Body on a Budget, he unlocks the keys to low-cost or no-cost exercise solutions.

As a gym member, you will spend an average of 3% of your annual salary on the cost of your yearly membership. For many people, this is a high cost that can no longer be afforded or justified.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Celebrity Body on a Budget (Paperback)

I finished the book in 10 minutes without 1 page marked as being insightful. The book doesn't give diet tips, celebrity "tricks" or any other information I thought would be useful. In fact, it seems like well over 1/2 of the book is filled with images of nothing other than workout moves. Very disappointing.
