Book Description

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. With Celebrity Body on a Budget, you can still achieve that drop dead gorgeous celebrity body you have always admired and desired without having to break the bank.

Training with Cornel helped me achieve the good muscle tone and definition I needed for my film character. --Audrey Tautou

More About the Author

I'm Cornel Chin- the author of 'Celebrity Body on a Budget' and a high profile fitness expert/fitness troubleshooter to the Stars with more than 20 years of experience as a fitness professional.

I integrate my diverse background to create an all-encompassing approach to fitness. As a leading fitness expert, my unique fitness skills have been highly sought after by 'A' list celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Colin Firth, Joseph Fiennes, Audrey Tautou, Tilda Swinton and Naomie Harris.

As a direct result of my high profile and expertise, I'm a frequent guest on numerous television and radio shows and regularly contribute to a host of leading international publications and websites. I'm also the author of several other popular fitness books which are endorsed by my famous clients.

Here's what a few of my famous clients have said about me:

"Cornel gave me the lean look I needed. His training methods are second to none!" ~ Leonardo DiCaprio

"Training with Cornel helped me achieve the good muscle tone and definition I needed for my film character." ~ Audrey Tautou

"I was no great fan of exercise until I met Cornel. He has given me a way of working out that is enjoyable, sustainable and effective. I'm enormously grateful to him for converting me." ~ Colin Firth

I'm also currently in the process of developing a unique fitness product that will help to banish the 'Bat Wings'- triceps/rear of upper arms- which is a frequent troublesome area for women in particular. I seeking to eventually sell my product through direct response marketing i.e QVC, Home Shopping Channel etc and am currently seeking to partner up with a U.S based oufit to make this great product a huge success.

Help and fun to read February 8, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I wouldn't recommend this as a one and only resource for getting a better looking body, but it's a good start! There's not too much information, so you won't feel overloaded. A good primer on exercise and motivator, but not much more.

"Great book with some very useful ideas and exercise tips with clear and concise photos for each exercise. It does what it says on the jacket! The book's author, Cornel Chin has trained some of the most famous people on the planet with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Colin Firth. If he's good enough for Leo and Colin- he's good enough for me!"

For those that are short on time and on a budget, this book can give you some great ideas to fit in workouts at home, in your office or on the road. There are a lot of great stretches and exercises you can do at your desk or in your office and a good review of the different pieces of cardio and weight training equipment available and some great insight into starting your own home gym. There is also some great explanation of the different body types that we posses and an explanation of how different training programs will affect those different body types. [...]
