Very good overall but do not completely agree with it
The training methods offered in this book are safe, correct and extremely effective. I have been weight training for 5 years and have used most of the training methods and style offered in this book recently for about 8 months and have seen excellent results in terms of muscle gain. I have to say Steve takes a straight-forward, honest and non-biased approach in his instructions given and i have high respect for him. Having used his style of training i no more experience wrist and shoulder pain during training and also avoided many injuries.

Great Book
I read this book after delving into "home yoga" for about 3 months. As is probably common, I was doing many of the poses only semi-correctly. There is a lot of reading to be done here, but there isincredible detail to help anyone elicit the poses correctly. Dworkis alsodivides each pose for beginner, moderate, and advanced. After aparticularly tough day of running and 5 sets of tennis, I followed theposes and felt refreshed, relaxed, and loose afterwards. The workout isalso really only 20 minutes (after learning the poses) and fun to completeas well as challenging when striving for a more advanced level.

As an exercise physiologist certified fitness instructor...
As an exercise physiologist and certified group fitness instructor/personal trainer I highly recommend this book.I have been hesitant to try yoga because of the contraindicated moves (called poses),however this book makes the necessary modifications so that the program issafe, yet still effective and fun.I have looked at many yoga books, andeven more videos and classes and this is my favorite.I actually recorded(audio) myself reading some of the descriptions of the poses so that Icould do the entire sequence with someone to "cue" me with theappropriate instructions! ...

Diet-Step 20 Grams/20 Minutes - Reviewed by Karen Larsen
Dr. Stutman offers a new book on weight loss.The basis of the book- 20 Grams of fat a day, 20 minutes of walking a day - is basic common sense.However, Dr. Stutman writes in an engaging manner, keeping the pages turning as he slips in a lot of useful information. Read more

The 7-Minute Miracle: The Breakthrough Program to Banish Spot Fat Forever
This might be a great program for younger people. It was just to strenuous for me, therefore undo-able.

Absurd

Simply fantastic!
My husband and I purchased this book after falling in love with our local library's copy.This book really forced me to stick with the diet with it's six week's worth of pre-planned menus (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
Takes the guess work out of it all
My husband and I have followed the meal plans for the first low carb stage of this book. I fail miserably at planning meals and shopping right. I never have the ingredients on hand for anything good so end up with plain grilled chicken and bagged salad. The good news is that this comes with weekly menu plans and recipes for *ALL* meals including sides, shopping lists and prep tips. We have loved everything so far, have been stuffed, and are losing weight. I'm looking forward to the easy transition this book will provide to 40-30-30 which I believe is a more sustainable balance for folks like us who are moderately to very active.

Fantastic cookbook for South Beach Diet, Zone, others!!
I love this cookbook! It fits my way of eating perfectly! If you are looking for a book with 3g of carbs per recipe or something than this isn't the one for you. However!!! there are so many other diets that can utilize this cookbook: South Beach, Zone, Atkins maintance, low-sugar diets, low-glycemic diets, and just general good health eating. Read more

A True Healing Experience
This book is very fast and easy reading.I like the abiltiy to apply the technigue described immediately.I have read many personal developement books over the years, and I find Ellen's to one of the most powerful, easy to practice and it works!

A Jewel of Wisdom to read and read again!
..With every well chosen word, Ellen Laura reveals the elegant simplicity of true healing and guides us gracefully to experience the healing frequency....in one, one billionth of a second!The stories and practices Ellen offers illustrate the energetic prinicples of healing with crystal clarity.This is a treasure to read and read again for even in its simplicity there is profound truth.The energy and tone move, uplift and motivate.Ellen shows us that to shift our view of the world and the way we respond to it, is to heal ourselves and contribute to the healing of everyone and everything around us.If you have ever wondered what to do to help heal the planet...start here!!

A One Minute Experience can change your life
We may spend years on education but never experience our true selves in the process. Ms. Laura's book can be easily read in one evening and open the door to a profound self discovery including a world of peace and joy. She gives a number of everyday situations that cause stress, aging and misery and then illustrates a remedy that opens new possibilities for halting and reversing these processes.In matters of self growth and spirituality, simplicity is seldom found in both the theory and practice. This is where the book shines. Also,her style is warm, positive and very encouraging. As a corporate manager for many years, I would compare the efficacy of her book for self development to the classics on one minute managing. A little awareness and simple practice goes a long way toward improvement. This book is easy to read and understand and the recommended practices are simple and consume very little time (One minute each!) If nothing else, this book teaches you how powerful a one small slice of your time and intension can be while motivating you forward to apply it in the most painful areas of your life. Is it really that simple? Only you can decide for yourself. I hope it works as well for others as it does for me. ... Read more
