I know, your thinking what the heck is 8 minutes going to accomplish? But overall this book does work pretty good. For 30 days you do 8 minutes of exercise in the morning, rotating between upper and lower body. The premise is to tone and build muscle in order to see a leaner body. Because muscle burns more calories than fat, the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn. The author explains why aerobics aren't the most effective way to lose weight, why starvation doesn't work and gives ideas for meals and snacks. Because I don't usually wake up in the "morning" I've only gotten to day 5 or 7 when I first tried this book, but I did notice a definite improvement. I plan to try this for 30 days sometime soon :)

I really like this program. Its quick, efficient and effective!

This book is basically a weight loss plan (eating, lifestyle, exercise). I only used it for the exercise portion. Each day for 28 straight days there is a separate workout, focusing on different muscles each day. The exercises use weights, and sometimes a chair to lean or sit on. The exercises are simple and quick, and they do work the muscles well! I enjoyed this book (the work out section anyway!)
