I now have a health club and a personnal trainor right here in my home. Chris Imbo, tells you why he believe his program will work for you and help you achieve personnal health and well being. In a non condesending way he explains why he feels this plan will help you become fit and healthy. He explains the science of why we burn fat or not burn it, and gives us the formula to make our bodies burn fat effectively. He reminds you about "slow and steady", "easy does it" and "listen to your body". His daily assignments,(one for each day of the ten weeks) is wonderful. Each day he has planned out what stretches, warm-ups, and exrsices you should do to help you achieve your goals, along with words of wisdom and ispiration. A must for anyone who wants to change thier body and thier outlook on food and exercise. You will not be alone. From start to finish, Chris Imbo tell's you what he, as a fitness trainer as learned and how it works. Everything is described and pitcured

I am a senior citizen, and have always tried to watch my weight, and to tone up, not only for looking good, but also to feel good.When I discovered this book, I immediately found that it
explained every exercise in detail that I could understand, and the illustrations were exceptional. I am constantly told that I look at least 15 years younger, and this is without plastic surgery. I highly recommend this book to every age group. It's wonderful!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly motivational - it works!, May 10, 2002

This review is from: Chris Imbo's Peak 10 Fitness (Paperback)

If you want to get fit this is the book for you. The concept is simple and Chris & Sally detail the guidelines for the average individual to follow. Counting calories is a bit time consuming for the first 2 weeks, but after that it's second nature. The program truly works - I'm back down to my healthy weight range after only 7 weeks (and 20 lbs lighter!). But, most importantly, I feel great. This book comes highly recommended.
