Editorial Reviews

Review
"The message she delivers . . . will not only change your body, it will change your life,"
Montel Williams wrote in the foreword to BodyChange. Women will find that equally true of Lean, Long & Strong.

From Bookpage:
Lean, Long & Strong is one of the best new entries in the fitness category, allowing resolution-makers to get the bodies they dream about. The six-week program of 12-minute resistance workouts by personal trainer Wini Linguvic, co-author of the bestselling BodyChange, combines yoga and Pilates, two trendy exercise methods, with strength training to keep interest high and accelerate results. Basic, intermediate and express workouts using a mat, exercise ball and dumbbells are clearly illustrated. A tinted box along the bottom of each page has tips on breathing and form, making it easy to move correctly. Linguvic also provides a guide to a “precision cardio” workout to maximize results in 60 minutes a week, and helps readers build their own custom program for fat blasting, core body work, or a focus on lower or upper body. A nutrition program that involves keeping a food journal (one of the biggest predictors of successful weight loss), and training log pages are also included in this beautifully designed book that banishes boredom, and body trouble spots, from women’s vocabulary.


Product Description
The 6-Week Strength-Training, Fat-Burning Program for Women

A strength-training program especially for women that will produce results in workouts of just 12 minutes or less-from the coauthor of the bestselling BodyChange

When personal trainer Wini Linguvic teamed up with one of her high-profile clients, Montel Williams, to write BodyChange, the book made The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists, climbed to #1 on Amazon.com, and sold over 200,000 copies. Now she tailors her precision body-sculpting methods just for women in workouts that integrate the "flow" and stretching of yoga to produce the even more impressive real results of strength training. Finally, an expert women can turn to for a program designed to create the fabulously fit, lean, long, strong body that today's woman yearns to achieve.

o Features beautiful, large full-color photographs of the author doing each exercise, accompanied by detailed instructions for completing each move
o All exercises can be done at home with hand weights and an exercise ball
o Specific workouts focus on firming key trouble spots such as abs and core, butt and thighs, or upper body

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a book for real people!!!, January 6, 2005
By N. Rizzo Schwartz (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderful! Finally a book that tells you realistically that you can succeed at working out and getting the body you want. Wini's focus is not on spending hours in the gym, but on setting up a systematic approach to your workout to get in and get it done, by doing it right! I was sick and tired of going to the gym and wasting time not knowing what exercises to do. Following the Synergy sets in Wini's book helps you to complete a balanced workout in a short amount of time. The pictures are wonderful and her explanations of the exercise help you to really focus on the target area. She has multiple exercise for your core, legs, arm, and stretching exercise for your whole body. The best part is that you can do the workouts at the gym or at home and only need simple equipment. The main difference that I have noticed is that I am actually looking forward to working out because I know exactly what I am going to be doing and I am getting a good workout and making the MOST out of my time.

5.0 out of 5 stars suggestion, March 19, 2006
I think this book is wonderfully well written and well thought out. I do have one suggestion which is to take the book to your local Kinkos and have the binding cut off and three hole punched. This allows for moving the six week programs around to suit your needs at the time. I did this for $1.50 which added greatly to the user friendly aspect of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wini is a winner!, March 2, 2005
By Sparkle Reed "smartmouth" (MILWAUKEE, WI USA) - See all my reviews
When you first see the cover of this book, you may feel intimidated by Wini's buff body - but as soon as you open the book, Wini's warmth and positive tone give you the impression that you too can be fit and strong! I picked up this book about 11 weeks ago and have been working with it ever since. The changes in my body are amazing - especially in my arms and legs. I finally have some biceps and my butt is very firm. My midsection, which is my weakest spot, has been gradually reducing and I am now at the point where I can easily wear a bikini and not look like a fool.

I am a big fan of workout books, but usually my interest wanes after about 6 weeks. This year, I have been determined to really trim off that last bit of flab and build some muscle - this book is a great starting point. The information is sound, the pictures are great and the descriptions really help you to perfect your form.

I would recommend this to anyone who would like to get in shape - it really is a pretty darn good book.
