"Ab"session, April 23, 2005
This review is from: Shortcuts to Sexy Abs: 337 Ways to Trim, Tone, Camouflage, and Beautify (Paperback)
"Your stress level has been shown to be directly related to the amount of fat you carry around your middle." ~Colleen Moriarty
Are there truly shortcuts to having sexy toned abs? Even this book has numerous ideas about exercising. The truth is, you have to exercise. Are there other solutions? Yes, but they seem to include changes in your diet and obsessions that include only drinking with a straw and avoiding various types of food.
Colleen Moriarty explores massage, lemon drinks her yogi friends swear by and the perfect hip to waist ratio. Do you have a medical condition or are you just not sleeping enough? I was pleased to read about the 9 hours and 25 minutes way to lose weight. Just sleep more.
Shortcuts to Sexy abs may motivate you to volunteer to take dogs for walks or you could find yourself joining a yoga class or taking up belly dance as a hobby. The author loves showing her belly and enjoys the fashion trends. She includes just about everything to get you motivated. The only thing you need now is about 10 workout videos or a gym membership. There are exercises in this book, but no pictures.
This book will be more helpful to those who are already close to their ideal body weight and only need to trim and tone a bit here and there. If you are struggling with age related weight gain, you might also want to read The Metabolic Plan and take supplements.

waste of money, June 26, 2004
This review is from: Shortcuts to Sexy Abs: 337 Ways to Trim, Tone, Camouflage, and Beautify (Paperback)
This book was such a waste of money. It was all common sense or total nonsense. Soooo repetitive. Said the same things over and over. Don't buy this book
