Problem Zones: The Sure-Fire 3-Point Program [Paperback]

Margit Rudiger (Author), Sabine Haberlein (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 1998

If you look in the mirror and thick thighs and a sagging stomach smile back, these "problem zones" could be calling out to you to become the body you were meant to be. But instead of avoiding the issue or fixating on it, discover the satisfactions of taking good care of yourself with this proven lifestyle program that features gymnastics, nutrition, and massage. Start by getting a new appreciation for your special body type, and the particular relationship between bone structure and fat distribution that's right for you. Ignore the pressures of magazine models who look like 12-year-old boys, and work instead to develop the body you were meant to be by drawing from all three aspects of the Problem Zone regimen. Begin with the techniques for sculpting the surface of your skin through creams, gels, and oils that create better blood circulation and tightening of muscle tissue, as well as hot-and-cold-water treatments and massages. Professional methods, from heat treatments to surgery, also are described and evaluated. The core of this program revolves around bodybuilding with weights, and you get a complete workout plan for both home and gym training. Finally, your new diet emphasizes "power foods." Rather than simply reducing calories, a power food diet reduces water retention and fights cellulite. You get detailed analyses of common foods that show you which ones give you the most "power points," and also helpful hints on how to shop and prepare menus. Taken together, this three-pronged approach to skin care, bodybuilding, and power nutrition will give you the body you were meant to enjoy. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 10 1/4.

This review is from: Problem Zones: The Sure-Fire 3-Point Program (Paperback)

It tells you how to exercise the muscle groups. It also gives you a diet to go on that may help, but I tried doing both for 3 months and saw little results. I am not heavy so the only thing I was looking to do was to firm up the muscles groups. A total disappointment. This book does not give you new exercises to do. Save your money.
