3.0 out of 5 stars The exercises are good, but same as her video, October 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Primetime Bodies: The Six-Week Hollywood Exercise Program (Paperback)

I already had the Target and Tone video by Kathy Kaehler (and I absolutely love it!) and I ordered this book to have something to alternate with by her. The book, though, is almost entirely the same exercises as the that video tape. The "Hollywood" format with stories of celebrities is cute but corny and doesn't seem to inspire. I don't seem to remember Claudia Schiffer or Michelle Pfeiffer having to lose weight (or an substantial amount of weight), but they are used as examples of dedication. Who among the "real world" will rise at 4:30 a.m. to exercise? Anyway, if you have her T & T video, skip this book. If you need a good, safe routine to start with from scratch, it's $12 or so well spent.

Advanced exercisers would be bored.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special in here., June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Primetime Bodies: The Six-Week Hollywood Exercise Program (Paperback)

A perfectly fine safe exercise program. There is nothing special in here, but there are no false claims (except for the implication that you can look like a star) either. I too found the style of the book to be corny. There is no diet information at all. Personally, I would recommend Denise Austins "Jumpstart". That has an easy to follow diet plan, a decent exercise plan (for beginners only), and her encouraging thoughts of the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars She got me exercisiing, December 28, 2001

Christina Callender (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Primetime Bodies: The Six-Week Hollywood Exercise Program (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this book, and the 6 week program takes you from begiinner to knowing you can do this. I had done the program for 3 weeks in a row, hardly missing a day until my life got so busy. I felt stronger in those 3 weeks than I have in years. I have three girls to run after and I did feel more energy, and flexibility. I plan to continue my exercises with her and I ordered her Real World Fitness book as well. Don't dish her for using the celebrity's names. We all want to look a little like them, so lets read about them.
