Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Today show fitness expert and Self magazine columnist Kaehler is responsible for the amazing physical fitness of Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and Michelle Pfeiffer, and in this book, she aims to bring readers on board the fitness train as well. Kaehler’s advice is positive and down-to-earth, telling her readers, "you can’t fight genetics" and attain a standard of beauty that is the norm in Hollywood, but that they can achieve a level of fitness that will improve their looks and life. The book breaks down into seven distinct workouts based on routines Kaehler created for celebrities. Each exercise is appealingly illustrated with a photograph of the super-fit Kaehler performing the move. Healthy recipes from Hollywood chefs and on-set caterers are sprinkled throughout the book as well. The routines are a good mix of trendy exercise ball and yoga moves, along with the old-fashioned basics like jumping jacks and jump rope. She reveals just enough about her clients, remarking that Claudia Schiffer’s "upper-body strength was non-existent" and that Pfeiffer hated their 4:30 am workouts, to keep the book an interesting read. Julia Roberts comes off the best, as a genuinely kind, unassuming person, in the author’s view. This book will receive lots of publicity from the Today show and other media outlets, so expect high demand during the New Year resolution rush. Photos.

Review

Hollywood’s hottest bodies have high praise for Kathy Kaehler!

“Exercising with Kathy has changed my life in a great, subtle and consistent way. I must admit, I don’t love exercise, but I do love how I feel afterward. Accomplishment, clarity, energy, strength, joy. These are all things I give myself through working out, and I can feel it in everything I do.” —Julia Roberts

“Kathy’s workouts really give you results. The abdominal exercises are great—they get right to that spot that you want to tighten. Working out with Kathy was something I always looked forward to.” —Cindy Crawford

“After spending years training with Kathy, I now have the tools to exercise safely and effectively on my own, and fit a workout into my hectic schedule. She has shown me how to stay in shape without having to spend all of those hours in the gym that are a waste of time and frankly boring as hell!” —Michelle Pfeiffer

“Working out with Kathy was an inspiration to me, and I hope an inspiration to all women. Her workout regimens are enjoyable and easy-to-follow, and her advice is honest. By simply taking time out to listen to our bodies, we can achieve realistic results on the inside as well as the outside.” —Claudia Schiffer

“I was working out with Kathy right after Friends started its run. She taught me that basic exercises like walking, stretching, and using my own body weight for resistance will get me into the best physical condition. When I am able to exercise, I always feel good about myself and am much more likely to stick to a healthy lifestyle.” —Jennifer Aniston

5.0 out of 5 stars Real workouts for everyday people., January 11, 2005
By S. Rickman (Lawrence, Kansas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In her book she says that the sub-title of this book "How to Get a Hollywood Body in Just 30 Minutes a Day" sounds a little gimmicky. You aren't going to look like Jennifer Aniston tomorrow, but you are going to be healthier and fitter as you follow this program. She focuses on getting healthy and feeling comfortable with the body shape you have. A fun mix of walking, light weight training, yoga, stretching and a handful of fun exercises that make you feel like a kid on the playground. The exercises have easy to follow illustrations, and written directions. It includes a group of exercises to help you ease back into a fitness program, recipes and fun celebrity photos and quotes that are reminiscent of reading "People" in the grocery store check-out. A good bonus: there isn't really any equipment that you need to buy that you probably don't already have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effective, fun workouts, February 19, 2005
This is a great resource. Kathy Kaehler sets out five different workouts for Monday-Friday, plus a 5-minute "amazing abs" workout to be done on three non-consecutive days each week. (There's also a "start-up" workout to get you up to speed if you're a new or lapsed exerciser.)

The workouts are fun and work each part of your body in different ways--there's a lot of core work and exercises using the body's own resistance. She mixes up the routines so you don't get bored and so your body doesn't get too accustomed to any one thing.

While the photos may make it look like the workouts are a piece of cake, they're not. They're challenging and effective, and she explains how you can adapt them as you get stronger.

The celebrity gossip is almost an aside--Kaehler is clearly a pro who knows her stuff, and her reasonable take on diets is refreshing (she notes that client Jennifer Aniston is a Zone devotee, for example, but mentions that she herself doesn't advocate such restrictive diets). Her tone is friendly, professional, and encouraging throughout. Hearing first-hand about her battles with food and post-pregnancy pounds puts you at ease and makes you feel she understands that most of her readers aren't part of the Hollywood world.

As one other reviewer mentioned, a lot of the equipment she uses is stuff you may already have around the house (a jump rope, two sets of relatively light weights, a deck of cards, etc.), making the workouts cost-effective and travel-friendly.

My one beef with the book, if you could even call it that, is that I think Kaehler tends to underestimate how long it takes to perform the workouts. The "5-minute" abs workout generally takes me quite a bit longer, although maybe I'm just unusually slow.

All in all, highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to do @ home or on the road, March 25, 2005
I first saw this book while walking by the book store...quite accidentally really. I LOVE the exercises in this book. They are easy to do, and they can be done while watching TV or in your hotel room. Kathy mentions something about doing exercises while watching a half hour TV show and it stuck with me...why wouldn't I? She loves jumping rope and I never realized how much fun it really is. I use to do it all the time as a kid and it brings me back to those youthful times =) Although I am not crazy about the name dropping of the celebrities and her entire 'how I got here & who I know' story, the exercises are easy to follow and gives a good workout with items you would have around the house even! When I go on the road I take my jump road and a deck of cards (used in a few of her exercises) and I am set! I also like the fact that she lists what muscles are being targeted with each exercise. She has an early morning workout, arms, legs and abs. There is even a boot camp workout.

If you want some exercises that are fun and effective that you can do anywhere in 30 minutes, this book would be worth taking a look at.
