Bottoms Up: From Cellulite to Sexy

Joyce Vedral's books really do work. Be prepared to be shocked that in this day and age, here is a workout that shapes and tones your body like never before. I wish I had stumbled on her books years ago when she first starting writing them.This book may have been written back in the 90's, but the exercises still work today. There are lots of moves I've never encountered before, and I thought I knew most routines. Some, but not all of the nutritional advice is outdated,for example, Joyce says you should not eat nuts, seeds and avocadoes because of their fat content, however you are buying the book for the workout, so just overlook this part.Your thighs and buttocks will tighten up, slim down and become gorgeous before your eyes, to say nothing of your lovely, shapely arms. This is the way to go if you want to get a fab body. I am about to turn 50 and have exercised most of my life with various routines, this and Joyce's other books are the ones that really work for me, I shall be wearing my bikini proudly from now on. If you've gone through the menopause and feel as if your body is falling to pieces, I urge you to get this book.Joyce is 50 plus in this book, now she must be in her 60's and just have a look at her, she has the body of a 20 year old, take inpiration from her pictures, you too can change your body to look this good.Photocopy the pictures, stick them up on your wall and get going. You work the upper and lower body on alternate days, giving the worked muscles a 48 hour rest between exercising. When you are fed up with this book and routine move onto another of Joyce's books and follow a new routine to eliminate boredom.Some people comment that Joyce's workouts take longer than she states, frankly I don't watch the clock, I am so involved in the exercises and enjoy the challenge of the weights that the time whizzes by, and with these results who cares. However when you are still learning the moves, of course it will take you longer. Once learned you'll be zapping through the exercises and burning calories, because this is an aerobic workout too. Plenty of sweat will be shed.If you are new to exercise Joyce holds your hand and tells you how to proceed. Very well explained and laid out book.

Whether you follow this excercise plan on the minimum, regular or maximum schedule you will see results like never before.The only thing I would add to it is to stretch the time required to complete the routines by 15 to 20 minutes for the lower and upper workouts respectively. The abs can take from 10 to 20 minutes depending on how many reps you have worked up to.Start low, aim high and don't look down, soon you will have the best shape for your body type - muscles are definitely sexy!

I've been training for 30 years and I purchased this book only out of curiosity, I haven't read it cover to cover, flipped through the pages to get an idea of what it is all about. For the time it was published it was definitely amazing. It will be helpful for absolute beginners who want to workout at home, to get started with exercise. That's all.
