5.0 out of 5 stars not just another workout book
We are a group of female designers who have read this book (with a lot of laughs) and used it as a reference manual for our little workout group. We've already seen results, in both diet and exercise. We all love it and recommend it highly. It's so much better than anything we've ever read on the subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars Desperately Needs an Update
Some good fitness advice and a humorous writing style are marred by too many homophobic remarks. After a while, her prejudiced comments made the book unreadable.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've never written a review before, but..., October 1, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Desperate Woman's Guide to Fitness (Paperback)
This book is amazing. All the advice is totally reality based and doable, for all women, not just the 20 year olds (who don't need it like we do anyway!). Great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is it!!, October 1, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Desperate Woman's Guide to Fitness (Paperback)
I've read just about every get in shape book on the market. This one is the best. The author gets you motivated with her sense of humor and gets you going with good, basic information that works, really works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny,easy to follow instructions, October 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Desperate Woman's Guide to Fitness (Paperback)
On one hand it is a genuine book on fitness, and on the other an easy-to-read guide for those who know nothing or know some of the fitness programs available. Very funny, and injoyable to read. Very motivating, indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and funny, a great combination, October 1, 1997

This review is from: The Desperate Woman's Guide to Fitness (Paperback)
I did the artwork for this book. Ellen is a woman of great courage, humor and optimism. These qualities are all evident in her writing and are why the book works. It's contagious. Read the book - you will be laughing on the way to the gym, strong in your workout, and smiling at the results you will get.
