5.0 out of 5 stars Eureka!, March 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Fit and Fat: The 8-Week Heart Zones Program (Paperback)
This book makes sense!!! This is a must read for anyone who is looking to get fit. If you are trying to lose 5 lbs or 50 lbs, the real life stories help you feel that you are not alone in your quest for health. As a personal trainer, the information in this book is valuable. The program designed in this book is a great supplement to the strength training excercises I recommend to my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, March 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Fit and Fat: The 8-Week Heart Zones Program (Paperback)
I read Fit and Fat and loved it. It has a lot of useful information. It is well written, and the analogies were especially powerful for me. The book takes shame or embarrassment out of not being fit, and teaches how to get more fit in a friendly, nonjudgemental way. It has made a big difference in my life! My friends have read this and report it was helpful for them, too, as they made lifestyle changes.

This review is from: Fit and Fat: The 8-Week Heart Zones Program (Paperback)
this word is still an understatement to describe this book. IT's all about getting people moving towards a more active lifestyle at their own pace. It truly changes the way we think about working out. It's educational and well documented. Simply fabulous.
