This book is not only filled with confidence-building weight loss and fitness tips, but with honest and down-to-earth daily action plans to get there! It's a "real-people-can-actually-do-this" motivator! You'll find yourself sharing lots of true "aha!" moments with Linda and Suzanne -- just the kind to make you finally say yes to starting your own personal journey!

This review is from: Journey to Fitness - Chronicles of a Working Woman (Paperback)

I judge a book by whether it makes me laugh out loud or tear up. I did both. Particularly on page 78, when Suzanne accomplished something for the first time (you must read the book to find out what), I could not help but share her joy. At that point, her journey, with Linda's skillful guidance, went well beyond physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.

As you read, remember that the characters are real people; a family complete with dog, and a personal trainer who quietly impacts all of their lives. I know Linda, and can tell you that, for her, it is about what her clients accomplish, not about what she accomplishes. That is evident in the book. Enjoy the book for the success story that it is. Then ask yourself, "why not me?" If it makes you think about your own situation or perhaps someone you love, then Linda has achieved her goal.

They have written something very special here, and many people will be better because of it. I will be getting extra copies to share with people close to me who also need to work on a healthy lifestyle.

This review is from: Journey to Fitness - Chronicles of a Working Woman (Paperback)

This book isn't all about telling you exactly what to eat, or what step-by-step exercises to do (though it does offer a lot of great tips). It's about motivation, inspiration, and demonstrating how one real person made realistic lifestyle changes that changed her overall weight, health and self-confidence. Through the use of dialogue and journal entries, you feel like you're there for the six months that Linda guided Suzanne and cheered for her on her Journey to Fitness. Really different!
