Book Description

June 13, 2006
From Prevention magazine's fitness expert, the personalized workout that melts fat and builds muscle

As fitness director of Prevention magazine, Michele Stanten routinely hears from people who feel trapped in workouts that are too hard or too easy, that have become boring, or that fail to produce measurable results. In response, she developed the Firm Up Action Plan, an innovative three-tier exercise program that allows readers to choose their workouts based on their individual fitness and commitment levels.

Among the Firm Up Action Plan's key features are:
Innovative routines that combine walking and strength training with hot fitness trends such as Pilates and yoga

A fresh workout every day to target trouble zones--the abs, butt, arms, and thighs--and prevent the boredom

21 days' worth of menus that keep the metabolism humming for maximum fat-burning results

Readers can expect to lose up to 6 pounds and several inches in just 3 weeks. They'll "firm up" their attitude toward getting and staying in shape--so this time the results will last!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Increasing you metabolism, August 15, 2006
This review is from: Prevention's Firm Up in 3 Weeks: Trim and Tone Your Trouble Zones for Your Best Body Ever (Paperback)
I have hit that phase in my life where my metabolism has drastically slowed down, leaving me with 30 pounds of flesh that I don't feel deserving of.

This book really convinced me on the importance of weight training in order to maintain my metabolism. I have perused a number of weight training books and this one, I feel, is one of the best. While most books go through weight training exercises utilizing equipment available only at a gym, this book uses only dumbells and a mat---perfect for an inexpensive home workout!!! I love the fact that the book presents a set workout (complete with pictures) and a diet menu for every day of the 3 weeks that your body is transformed. It also includes a weekly grocery shopping list of foods that are included in the daily menus. I definitely feel more toned and trim after 2 weeks. While I have yet to weigh myself, many people have commented that I look as though I've lost some weight. Yeah me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just wanted to look a little better!, February 4, 2009
This review is from: Prevention's Firm Up in 3 Weeks: Trim and Tone Your Trouble Zones for Your Best Body Ever (Paperback)
I first found this at the library, and decided I needed it for "the long term", so purchased on Amazon.com. The book is terrific, easy on my 70 years old muscles. I have gotten into walking through the pastures and woods near my home. I feel better and am sleeping better too. Why didn't I do this earlier????

The biggest plus - no expensive excercise equipment to buy, to take up space in my home. Dumb Bells are all you need. WOW - how refreshing.

Enjoy.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Prevention's Firm Up in 3 Weeks: Trim and Tone Your Trouble Zones for Your Best Body Ever (Paperback)
Well laid out, easy to follow - covers all the bases.

Day-to-day instruction manual with menus, recipes, shopping lists and work-out schedules. Also includes a lot of flexibility for those of us that have trouble fitting work-outs into our schedule.

I'm very happy I bought this book!
