I Love this Book!

I bought this book 4 weeks ago and am in love with it. The workouts change every week so you never get bored and their fun. Also the book has tons of color photos and each exercise is clearly described. I am seeing changes in my body and I'm not even done with the 6 week program. If you want a workout program that you'll enjoy and get results than this is the book for you!

WOW...my belly is flat!!!!

I am going on a cruise in June and would love to be in a 2 piece suit, while not scaring others. So I found this book and decided to give it a try. I am on Week 4 and have lost about 50% of my belly. You will be challenged and I spent the first two weeks eating Ibuprofen, but it is totally worth it!! The exercises are deceptively easy - you feel it the next day though. Totally worth the money and time. It would be nice if there was a DVD for the Pilates portion of the workout so you learn to do them correctly.

MUST HAVE BOOK!!!

As a current pilates addict of Karon's, this book is giving me a great way to change up my workout routine to include weights and cardio. I've seen tremendous results from taking her classes, and I'm already seeing the difference that this book is making, in the short time that I've been following it. If you are looking for an exercise book that is easy to follow and will deliver the results, then this is the book for you!

AMAZING BOOK!

This book is amazing! It has great pictures that clearly demonstrate each exercise. It's a combination of cardio, weights, and pilates. I used to take Karon's pilates class in Dallas. The pilates exercises in her book are a page from Karon's classes! I've moved away from Dallas, and have not found a pilates class that even compares to hers. This book is my saving grace! I'm a week into her program and find it very easy to follow. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to tone up with a variety of exercises. It's a great read!
