A workout that is fun and challenging, but works. Jenkins' has trained many celebrities and athletes so obviously knows what she's talking about. In fact, you can find this workout in the May issue of Fitness Magazine, which I just got my hands on recently. The workout combines cardio and circuit training to slim you down in 21 days. I highly suggest this workout to anyone tired of the same old workouts they've been using and getting no results. Pick up Fitness' issue, it'll definitely be worth it.

This review is from: The Hollywood Trainer Weight-Loss Plan: 21 Days to Make Healthy Living a Lifetime Habit (Hardcover)

The Hollywood Trainer Weight-Loss Plan: 21 Days to Make Healthy Living a Lifetime Habit is revolutionary. This book is truly for everyone because Jeanette Jenkins appeals to people of all cultures, economic status, and health status. The book is simple to read, but also explains the importance of healthy living and how the body works in scientific terms. But most importantly, this book is not a fade or a quick fix that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Instead this book meets individuals where they are at, and helps them transform their lives from the inside out! Since I started the Hollywood Trainer Weight-Loss Plan I haven't felt the pressure to lose 15 pounds fast, get a six pack, or look like a movie star! Instead I feel free to be me and I am encouraged to understand and love me and my body.

This review is from: The Hollywood Trainer Weight-Loss Plan: 21 Days to Make Healthy Living a Lifetime Habit (Hardcover)

I loved this book for so many amazing reasons!! First and foremost is that this book is probably the first book I have read out of MANY that highlights on health and physical fitness being the achievment rather than a thin body. I don't have a thin body and it is very depressing and disheartening to keep trying to achieve something that is just not going to be my end product. With that statement being laid to rest it allowed me to really focus on my health and actual physical fitness which is something that is so much better than a thin body because I can actually achieve physical fitness and healthy eating habits~ reguardless of what I weigh! I was truely fed up with fads and was hoping to find a more body/mind/spirit focus to lead me to a lifestyle change were I could be really happy and satisfied with my all around health and this book was definately it. The DVD that came along with the book was an amazing bonus for me as well, Jeanette Jenkins is so glowing and amazing as an instructor, she gives excellent direction and motivation and when she laughs I find it very sincere and that it rubs off on me and I laugh along with her (cheesey but true!). I feel like I have accomplished a whole lot when I finish with the selected daily workout and very pleased thus far with my results. The 21 day diet that she lines out is very easy to follow and most of the recipes are delicious!! I am truely thankful that I picked this book up. Thank you!!
