5 Disc Set: Shape Up - Front Gets your body moving and your blood flowing with a workout that burns twice the calories. Shape Up Back The fast track to losing weight continues by working biceps glutes hamstrings and abs. Cardio Kick Box Muscles get a day off from weight training while an aerobic workout keeps you moving. Maximize Full Frontal: Mixing it up to keep your body from adapting by introducing a different set of exercises. Maximize Back In Action: Incorporating cardio intervals and other high energy techniques really burns off the fat. Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HEALTH/FITNESS Rating: NR UPC: 796019781398 Manufacturer No: 9601978139

If you're envying the six-pack abs on Jillian Michaels, trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," look no further than her Shape-Up Backside exercise DVD for an intense high-impact workout. Michaels keeps your body moving (though she herself skips out on half the exercises) with hammer curls, oblique raises, step ups, planks, and a move called The Superman destined to tone your back, biceps glutes, hamstrings and abs. There's a lower-level option, but Michaels likes to "kick your butt," as she says, to get you to feel the burn. Shape-Up Backside's DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. It requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells, which may make it difficult for beginners. But if you give it a try, even in the comfort of your living room you'll think you're in a gym -- trainer yelling in your ear and all. -- Ellen A. Kim

by New to workouts via dvd from on 2010-07-20
The workout set is great! Consists of 5 different half hour workouts, one for each day of the work week! The workouts are challenging yet everyone is capable after a few practice runs through the set. There is a always one person on the tape doing the modified workout for beginners. I recommend it!

DVD was defective

by SF gal from on 2010-07-09
I'm sure this would have been a good work out DVD however it was defective (perhaps that is why it was only 8.97?) The strange thing was it was packaged as new. I ended up throwing it out, skipped all the way through, even though I cleaned the DVD thoroughly. When I looked at the DVD there was streak all the way through it. Looks like this seller received a bunch of defective DVD's and sold them as "new"

timely, perfect

by Ripplemaker from Indiana on 2010-06-13
The service was great.. wonderful low price, shipped quickly and in perfect condition. The video is wonderful for those who dont have much time to work out. at the end I was like.. "thats it?" yet the next two days i was sooo sore! Anyone has time for this!

Cardio Kickbox Review

by JJ from USA on 2010-05-23
NOTE: All of "The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing" workouts by Jillian Michaels seem to have their reviews linked together. However, this review is ONLY for her Cardio Kickbox workout.

Jillian Michaels had made a reputation of being one of the toughest trainers that there is, and this workout is no exception. In this workout, however, as opposed to some of her more recent workouts, Jillian, has a more fun personality. She is still tough, and she will still push you and be motivational at the same time, but she also will jokes and laugh throughout the workout.

There is a quick motivational intro by Jillian at the beginning, but then you start the warm up. The warm up is a really short mixture of squats, kicks, and jumps. It's pretty much of a really short workout in itself.

Next, you move on to the actual workout. Jillian will cover everything from jumping jacks to punches to side kicks, and she will make it tough but fun. She goes REALLY fast, though, so get ready. I've never seen an instructor do punches, kicks, or jumps so quickly in a video. I sometimes felt like my technique would be bad because of this, and I would have to slightly slow down to keep my technique good. Jillian will also pretty much go from one move to another, so aside from one or two instances, you really don't get any kind of break. The workout itself is about 20 minutes, which, trust me, is long enough! This workout is intense cardio that will really push you physically! Definitely not for beginners!

Then, at the end, there will be a short cooldown where you will be led through stretching of the shoulders, hamstrings, and neck. That's it, though. No more leg stretches or arm stretches, and I felt that there could have been just a few more. After the cooldown, there is another quick motivational talk by Jillian.

Overall, this was a really great cardio workout that I will be doing very often. It is extremely difficult, and this is coming from an advanced exerciser. Other than the few cons of it being a little too fast or too few stretches in the cooldown, it is still a great workout that I recommend if you are looking for a short, no-nonsense kickboxing workout.

I though it was something it wasnt

by L. Tish from Royal Palm Beach, FL USA on 2010-05-23
I thought is more about focusing on the muscles but it had a lot of cardio that I wasnt interested in. It is hard to find muscle focused workouts with no cardio but I am pretty sure I found it in Jillians no more trouble zones.

Backcare Yoga for Beginner

by Jan-jan Lam from Jan-Jan, Orlando, DL on 2010-05-03
The worst Yoga dvd I have ever bought. There is no audio instruction. You watch the same move over and over. It does not even give time to change from position to position. I like to follow video to exercise. You can definitely not do this. I don't know what's point of this video.

Backcare Yoga for Beginners

by Eric Einhorn from California on 2010-03-21
This product is garbage and Amazon should be ashamed of themselves even allowing it to be sold on line to unsuspecting customers.

Perfect DVD for me

by E. Byrne from Small Town, Ky on 2010-03-20
I've read some people complain about Rodney's moves not staying in the same pose for very long. That's actually what got me to like him so much. I love how I get a real good stretch, but don't have to hold it til I lose my balance! I have fibromyalgia and sometimes my muscles really hurt, but his gentle way of guiding me into the moves, and not making me feel bad for not holding it long, I feel is a plus. I think that even if I happen to be a real good yoga practitioner, the stretch is what's the most important, I don't think that 'how long' you can hold it matters so much as actually doing the move right. Just my opinion, but makes sense to me. His voice is so calm and smooth. The scenery is stunning, and I really feel that I'm there with him practicing. Yes, the routine is about 20 min., but that is also what made me want to buy this DVD, (mainly because it's by Rodney though). He's very serious about this art, (as he should be), but he also makes sure that you have some fun while doing the moves. He's shown how to meditate so well, even on DVD's like this one, so I'm really looking forward to getting the one I ordered from him that he actually teaches nothing but meditation. So far, there hasn't been a DVD that I've bought of Rodney Yee's that I haven't absolutely love.

the best

by Cathy M. Hawkins from florida usa on 2010-01-09
i have osteopennia, which is the beginning of osteoperorsis, and i hurt my back. this dvd backcare yoga for beginners is the best. my back sometimes fells tight and i do the vido and it feels so much better. i think any one who has back problems should use it. its easy and its only 30 min. long. so if you are short on time this is the one to use. thank you Rodney Yee

FANTASTIC

by WW 84 from on 2009-07-15
This program is perfect for people with back issues. It has added flexibility and strength to my core without difficult yoga positions. It has proven to be much more benefical than my physical therapy. Now I use this every other day and do many of the stretches anytime my back feels weak or tight. I am 62 yrs. old and recommend it to everyone who will be committed to use it 3 to 4 times a week because it does work.

Just workin it!

by Helena O. Kucik from on 2010-03-02
This is an oldie but goodie! I love how it's a "no nonsense" and back to the basics workout. I am not a fan of dancey moves when you are trying to get a good solid circuit/weight training workout. This DVD is great for all levels from beginning to advanced. I would highly recommend this DVD.

Excellent strength training workouts

by J. Campbell from California, USA on 2010-01-29
This is one of the best set of strength training workouts I've seen. Jake gives clear, easy-to-follow instructions, emphasizing technique, position, and control, rather than speed and momentum. You can work at your own fitness level by varying the pace of the repetitions and the size of the weights. There's lots of room for progress. Routines are well-paced and varied. Jake is motivating and makes the workout interesting and fun, without being too cheesy or overly peppy, like some instructors can be. Nice set. Clear views of the exercises. I like the time clock. This is an excellent value, with three workouts (total body, lower body, and abs) with separate circuits within each. A solid, well-rounded, classic, timeless fitness routine. This is one I'll be using for a long time. Highly recommended.

great calorie burner, great muscle toner, great instructor and cueing...what more can I say?

by A. Chandler from Austin, TX on 2009-09-22
My workout regimen is an extensive collection of fitness dvds. If I feel my motivation waning, I'll buy one or two new ones so I wound up with quite a rotation of a library of workout dvds. Because of this, I'm picky about which ones I like, which ones I keep, and I have quite a comparison.

Instruction: That said, this one ROCKS!! He is charming and fun personality-wise with some of the best instruction I've seen out there in doing the moves right. But don't think this is a beginner's dvd because of the great instruction, while you can alter the workout easily to fit your level, even those who love to workout will FEEL it.

Caloric Burn: Body By Jake takes to heart the evidence that the most effective workout will get your heart rate up then do strength training while it's up and alternate this fat burning and muscle building circuit through the workout. I wear a bodybugg to measure my daily caloric burn so I can actually SEE scientifically how many calories a workout I do burns and how many calories I burn per minute doing it...and this was a scorcher!! However, the moves really worked my muscles well too which means, with strength training, you continue to burn calories long after the workout is done in addition to the cardio he has which burns them fast during the workout.

Cueing: His cueing is beyond reproach and extremely easy to follow...no need to hit "rewind" on this one or get tripped up and frustrated. He acts as a personal trainer in the dvd so his instruction is constant and fluid and engaging.

Music: The music is nothing special but it's not irritating either...typical fitness dvd music.

Negative: the dvd shows the participants using a weight bench for leaning in some of the exercises which is not something everyone has in their home gym or livingroom. However, the moves he does on these are the exact ones other dvds do by simply standing up and leaning over so don't feel you have to have one. It's easily altered...when he put one knee on the bench and leaned over and then did arm exercises, I simply leaned over standing doing the same ones which is what I was already taught to do. But any couch or chair would work too if you didnt want to stand and lean which is equally as effective.

Set: love the set...very different. Looks like a livingroom of a modern mansion with pool through the windows, great art, sculptures etc. My kinda place to workout!!

Great idea: Rather than everyone constantly counting during the dvd or him stopping to say how many more reps you need to do, there is simply a count down timer on the screen. This way all he has to talk about is instruction and cueing and you know right where you are and how many reps you have left. Brilliant!! Why doesn't everyone do this?? It allows him to concentrate on instruction and cueing which is what the viewer really benefits from...not stopping and counting or keeping track of counting in their head...that is all freed up for making the workout flow with a personal trainer telling you the most helpful info. I like this a lot.

Conclusion: This workout is TOPS in my favorites. It's effective beyond reproach, burns off the fat, builds the muscle and the instruction is excellent and everyone doing it should learn something about form, no matter how long you've been working out. Great for both men and women in my opinion. You'll feel it and it'll work. Very happy with this dvd purchase! I'd easily buy more of his workouts. If you are a beginner, don't be intimidated...he'll tell you that you can do some of the exercises without holding weights whereas those who are more advanced can get more intensity by holding weights and there's nothing to trip you up here.

Sweet!

by Britt from on 2009-07-11
I am one of those people that have tried everything and I still haven't figured it out yet. I bought this DVD because I wanted to build up a good sweat without having to do it in front of people. I like this DVD in that you don't have to have a bench or weights to do it. You just need some room and a computer or T.V. w/DVD player. I like that I can modify Jake's moves to my level easily and as I improve I can still get a great workout. (There is a lady on the tape that is in great shape and she is sweating her buns off.) The moves are not too complicated and it incorporates both cardio and resistance training. I recommend this DVD!

BACK TO BASICS WORKOUT

GOOD OLD SCHOOL WORKOUT. IF U DO THIS WORK OUT ON A REG BASIS U WILL GET IN BETTER SHAPE. IT CAN BE MODIFIED TO YOUR LEVEL OF FITNESS AND U CAN WORK YOUR WAY UP. THE REAL TRICK FOR FITNESS IS TO ACTUALLY STAY LOYAL TO DOING THE WORKOUTS AND NOT QUITING CAUSE GAINS ARENT INSTANT. IF YOU DO THIS ON A REG BASIS IT WORKS . AS FAR AS EQUIPMENT USED ON THE DVD THERE IS A FLAT BENCH AND DUMBELLS . OVERALL ....THIS WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY .

This does nothing for me

by Kwenon from Virginia USA on 2010-07-11
Purchased because I had a bout of achilles tendonitis. Very unstable little bugger and I feel that one has to have serious balance and lean against a wall to flex their bad foot and ankle. Not expensive so it will just collect dust. Did stretching excercise in the shower and for about 2 mins my foot felt great. Did this for 2 months and the achilles tendonitis went away. SO much for this little booger of an item.

Probably should try it sitting down? Not sure if that will have the same affect?

Medi-Dyne ProStretch

by Ellen C from Palm Harbor, Florida United States on 2010-06-03
This product provides a deep calf stretch - a deeper stretch then I can get from a stretching on a stair or likewise. I had developed some fairly painful knots in my calf while running. I am a casual runner - 20 - 25 miles per week. I had originally used this device at my gym, and sprang for the $30 to have one at home. I have very tight calf muscles, and this little piece of plastic does the trick! It positions the foot in such a way, as to provide a great stretch.

Gives A Good Stretch

by M. Dominguez from Southern CA, USA on 2010-05-06
I have very tight hamstrings and heel cords. It's difficult for me to do a proper hamstring stretch without this little device. It allows me to stand up straight and still get a good stretch in both my hamstrings and my heel cords.

prostretch

by Alan D. Weitzsacker from Buffalo, NY USA on 2010-04-09
Got this for my wife who had been using one on load from
the physical therapist as part of treatment for plantars
facieitis (sp?) - and was working well for her. She also
suggested I use it to stretch out before & after being out
on my bicycle (16 miles is a typical short ride for me);
this has cut down any feeling of pulling a calf muscle when
riding on windy days or longer distances. Well worth to have
one of these to help stretching out. Shipped quickly as
anything else I've ordered through amazon.

excellent stretch for achilles, calve muscles

by burgh bone doc from Pittsburgh, PA, USA on 2009-12-12
The extra dorsiflexion achieved with this device gives a tremendous stretch to the posterior muscles and tendons of the the lower leg. Patients suffering from chronic tightness of the calves, achilles tendon and plantar fascitis will notice considerable improvement very quickly after using the ProStretch. Several of my patients have purchased this after trying it in the office.

2 caveats

by Moulin Mauve from Berkeley, CA USA on 2010-07-01
I've been using this ball as a computer chair since it arrived a few days ago. Really feeling it from my abs down to the tips of my toes.
Two not so great things about the ball are (1) the material it's made of bonds to paint if it touches a painted surface for a few hours and (2) it is extremely difficult to remove the air plug when you need/want to adjust the air pressure. The latter especially is a design flaw I hope the company addresses.

Great Core Training

by JayMoore1987 from on 2010-06-29
This is a great investment if you are looking into working your core muscles. Using the exercises listed here ([...]) in conjunction with plenty of cardio training and cutting down on fast foods & fatty foods, you get great results fast!

Incomplete, not as advertised!

by Mickey from Berlin, Maryland USA on 2010-04-28
Ok, I didn't expect to have details instructions on how to inflate the thing, but SOME instruction and a freaking stopper would have been nice! I believe the product I received was used and returned and resold to me. Buyer beware!

ball deformed

by K. Weng from Los Angeles, CA USA on 2010-04-26
The ball is workable, but is quite deformed, kind of like Jupiter bulging out at the equator, but not equally in all directions ...

Good ball, Pump and Package are Junk

by A. Vronko from on 2010-04-23
The important part of this item (the ball) seems to be good quality. Rubber seems to be average or better thickness, and I expect it will hold up better than a couple flimsy ones I've seen/tried in the past. The pump is mostly a joke. Pump/tube/connections kept falling apart, probably faster to blow up manually, (but that would put some water in the ball then.) Luckily, after abandoning the joke of a pump I was able to inflate it in seconds with spray nozzle on my air compressor, nice!

No instructions included, so no indication of how much air to put in or any other use guidelines. Fill nozzle just comes with a plastic plug that goes in hard and comes out much harder (almost felt like I might damage the ball when I opened it to add more air.) In short, the total package is junk. Still as it was near the lowest price out their, it gets 4 out of 5 as a solid value and because the actual ball seems to be fine quality.

Great ! I love it!

by Judith Gibbs from on 2010-04-21
This is a great balance ball. I am very pleased with it. It is a bit softer than those really hard balls at the gym, which is great for me. I bought it mainly for sit ups, since i never get a sore back or butt when using the ball. I am 5ft 1in and the size is perfect. It's also comfortable to use for sitting on. GREAT BUY.

Arm strap is loose but otherwise ok

by reviewer from on 2010-07-27
Bought this to use running. MP3 player fits perfectly within the cover however the slits on the back where the arm band fit through are much too long so the elastic strap slides up and down a bit too much. Likewise, when using the belt clip, (which connects in the center of the back between the slits for the armband), it too is too loose and mp3 player flops around significantly if you are trying to run. Might be ok for walking, but belt clip is not suitable for running. The armband is 'ok' - if it is pulled tight enough there isn't a lot of movement, but it could be better. Also - access to buttons is fine - no problem there, however you need to know where your buttons are located - my sleeve does NOT have the painted indicators as the product images show. (and I just realized today that my green one actually glows in the dark )

Great case, great price

by Seph from Texas on 2009-09-06
The case fits well, protects well, and still allows good control over the buttons. Got it for my girlfriend, and she loves it. Will be getting one for myself (black) soon.

This is the best value for zen cases by far.

Eh, It's So-So...

by CherryBlossom from Mississippi on 2009-04-04
Well, it does what is says- protect the Zen. It fits well and all the buttons are accessible. My problems with it is: the color is WAY off. I bought the blue one thinking it was going look like the picture (cerulean blue) but instead, this thing was NAVY. Second, it feels cheap-y, like some kind of cheap plastic, and the armband and belt attachments are U-G-L-Y and look cheap as well. I just wont use the armband or belt hook. I kept it because it was only 12 dollars and I wanted something to protect my Zen, so it will do. But there are better ones out there!!

creative zen cover case

by Laura A. Storms from on 2009-02-09
This cover case usability is not good at all. The face cover has to be cut to size by you and when it is on your arm by the velcro arm band, the silicone bounces around causing you to be distracted in your work out.

Arm strap is loose but otherwise ok

by reviewer from on 2010-07-27
Bought this to use running. MP3 player fits perfectly within the cover however the slits on the back where the arm band fit through are much too long so the elastic strap slides up and down a bit too much. Likewise, when using the belt clip, (which connects in the center of the back between the slits for the armband), it too is too loose and mp3 player flops around significantly if you are trying to run. Might be ok for walking, but belt clip is not suitable for running. The armband is 'ok' - if it is pulled tight enough there isn't a lot of movement, but it could be better. Also - access to buttons is fine - no problem there, however you need to know where your buttons are located - my sleeve does NOT have the painted indicators as the product images show. (and I just realized today that my green one actually glows in the dark )

Great case, great price

by Seph from Texas on 2009-09-06
The case fits well, protects well, and still allows good control over the buttons. Got it for my girlfriend, and she loves it. Will be getting one for myself (black) soon.

This is the best value for zen cases by far.

Eh, It's So-So...

by CherryBlossom from Mississippi on 2009-04-04
Well, it does what is says- protect the Zen. It fits well and all the buttons are accessible. My problems with it is: the color is WAY off. I bought the blue one thinking it was going look like the picture (cerulean blue) but instead, this thing was NAVY. Second, it feels cheap-y, like some kind of cheap plastic, and the armband and belt attachments are U-G-L-Y and look cheap as well. I just wont use the armband or belt hook. I kept it because it was only 12 dollars and I wanted something to protect my Zen, so it will do. But there are better ones out there!!

creative zen cover case

by Laura A. Storms from on 2009-02-09
This cover case usability is not good at all. The face cover has to be cut to size by you and when it is on your arm by the velcro arm band, the silicone bounces around causing you to be distracted in your work out.

Great!

by soonerseller from on 2010-07-20
Love this shirt! The shirt I ordered was a summer shirt, so it was a bit thin, but it is summertime, so it's perfect. I will never buy from aa directly again! What a great deal!

AMAZING for the second time!

by Jaxie from on 2010-06-30
These shirts are in the best condition, and so much cheaper than ordering AA directly. This past spring I ordered one in yellow, and last week I ordered one in black and one in apricot. They came fast and fit perfectly! I'm never buying one of these from the store ever again. Five stars, for sure!

American Apparel Unisex Short-Sleeve Deep V-Neck T-Shirt

by Derek from USA on 2010-06-24
Number 1: Shipment came a lot ealier than exspected.
Number 2: The quality of the garment is great and is one of the first items where the tag or any other part of the garment does not itch.
Number 3: the fit on the item is great and it feels as if I am still laying in bed.
Number 4: the price of the shirt is great also and if you were to go to an ammerican apparel store or to the website, you would see that even with sales and discounts the prices are not even in comparison.
Number 5: It is accurately advertised.

This is a great product and I will purchase more in the future.

nice lightweight T-shirts

by butler1 from freeburg on 2010-06-16
these t-shirts are very comfortable, very light weight, perfect for summer. I am 5'9 and a size 12, so I ordered the large, which fit me very well - not too tight, not too loose. they are 100% cotton, so there was a little bit of shrinking after washing and drying, but still fit fine.

Amazing Fashion Rack

by Alex from USA on 2010-06-07
I've been wanting a classic v neck shirt for awhile now when I wandered at AA store. I figured that I should at least try one for a size but looking at the price tag makes me nauseous, so I went to Amazon and ordered five different colors last week, all medium and they were delivered in 3 days! I didn't expect that. I also didn't expect that the deep V neck would be this deep but it doesn't matter, it's perfect for my walk on the parade this year. Like another reviewer mentioned, the shipping fee is a tad much is you plan on buying only one and that's why I got 5, since the total cost of these 5 is like buying 2 shirts at the store. I like the material which is soft and light and it lets your skin breathe. The choice of colors are also plenty so nobody gets left out.

great shorts

by Matt from on 2010-07-24
Very lightweight, comfortable, have pockets, dry quickly. Great for exercising and the gym, or just lounging around the house. Will be getting more.

great gym shorts

by Steven J. Sorensen from on 2010-06-19
These shorts are cool and comfortable. Very good deal for the money. They keep you nice and dry during sweaty workouts. Some reviewers mentioned that they are somewhat see through. Well when you hold them up to the light they are. But when you put them against your skin they are absolutely not see through, because you need a good bit of light for that to occur. If you have something glowing in your naughty bits region then they'll probably be see through, and you should get to the ER pronto. I have been wearing these in the gym for over a month and no one has cited me for indecent exposure. I wear nothing underneath but a jockstrap (a white one) and I cannot see it through these shorts at all. So don't base your decision to buy these on their sheerness level which is only a conditional occurence.

Comfortable but too baggy

by Adam M. Botsford from Tacoma, WA on 2010-03-27
These are very comfortable and a good length but too loose for my taste. I bought them with the intent to jog in them but they'll be converted to casual shorts instead.

Not really worth the money

by Kenneth W. Norling from Buford GA on 2010-03-25
Bought two of these for the summer as I work out and swim a lot. Decent quality but they are the low end of the Champion line. Like another reviewer mentioned they almost sheer when held up to the light. There is no inner liner and the material is thin. I also don't like that the draw string is made into a loop instead of two formed ends like the ends of a shoe string. I had to cut mine and I'm sure they will fray.

Due to the thinness of the material I'm not sure I want to swim in these? Better deals out there for sure. Walmart sells Starter gear for 10-12 dollars. Much better stuff.

Good short for working out or play

by Carl Reed from on 2010-02-04
These are good shorts if you want a basic pair to work out or just play around. The sizing feels a little big in certain areas. Not necessarily the waist, but the leg openings. I was afraid to exchange for a smaller size because I felt the waist wouldn't be right. I can deal with it, but it's just something to be aware of when buying. One thing I noticed about these shorts that I couldn't really tell on Amazon or Champion's website is the fact that they are somewhat see-through. Might be more noticeable if white or light colored underwear was worn underneath. Something I might do, is get a pair of Underarmour or similar compression type pants to wear underneath while exercising. Seems like I've noticed guys doing that on Fit For Duty. It might look and feel better while doing something like leg presses where the legs are going to be coming up.

Excellent Buy

by Fitness Girl from NY, NY on 2010-06-24
This is a great shirt on or off sports bra that is stylish, still very supportive, but not flattening. I am loving this bra. It is also very true to size. The price was right. This was an excellent buy!

nice shape, pretty but not very functional

by Young Chang from scottsdale, az on 2010-06-17
It's nice shape and flattering. However, it retains sweat alot which makes it feel very uncomfortable after only a few minutes of working out for someone who sweat alot like me won't appreciate so much. I ended up buying three of these though.. 1st one wrong size, one pink/white, and one white/charcoal. no return policy due to sanitary reason, so choose the right size, you can't return it even if you get the wrong size.

awesome.

by M. Haas from on 2010-05-12
I'm impressed with this sports bra. I've never really been a fan of sports bras because of the horrible uniboob issue, this bra takes care of that problem though! There is some slight padding to help give your boobs some shape and it's overall pretty comfy. If you're in need spend a little more on this and invest in an excelent sports bra.

Sport bra

by Snow from Los Angeles, Ca on 2010-05-03
The best sport bra ever!
I'm an avid outdoors person, from snow skiing to spinning classes this bra delivers.
No bouncing and looks great on!

Pretty, NOT supportive

by Jessica from Tn US on 2010-04-28
I am a group fitness instructor, and have many champion bras that I wear for my classes..(lots of high knee runs, jumping jacks, jump kicks, and other high impact moves) I wear most of my champion bras for spin classes, and for day to day, but only have one that I absolutely love..and end up wearing for almost every class-but it isn't very pretty..I am looking for no bounce t-back...THIS BRA IS NOT FOR YOU IF THAT IS WHAT U WANT. I tried it on, jumped up and down to see how it worked, and my 34 DD's bounced more than in my reg non-sport bras! I even ordered a 34 D to make it tighter. I won't even wear this bra for around the house-not enough support for me, unless u wear it over another bra...It is very pretty for a sports bra, that's why i gave it 3 stars...

Excellent Concept - worth the money

by Ned Roberts from Orinda, CA USA on 2010-07-11
Fantastic book. Inspirational and easy to follow. I'm 57 years old, recently had shoulder surgery (right) and wrist surgery (left), but find that I can still do the program (week 3 day 3). I especially like the emphasis on warm-up and stretching to help prevent injuries. My daughter and one of her friends are also doing the program.

4 stars instead of 5 only for two reasons: 1. neither the website nor related iPhone application use the same program as the book. This is confusing and unhelpful. Is the book more current or the website/iPhone ap? 2. The book fails to tell you how to test yourself once you have completed the 7-week program. This information is easy to find on the website, but it is a strange oversight.

I'm sorry, are you kidding?

by Robin in Jax from Jacksonville, FL USA on 2010-06-30
Wouldn't 7 weeks to 100 push-ups mean starting at the number of push-ups you can do, and adding sets on until you were up to 100?

works if you follow the program

by K. Markley from church, United States on 2010-06-10
The book will allow you to accomplish your goal of 100 consecutive pushups. you just have to stick with it for seven weeks. the first week i was skeptical, it just felt too easy. each week there after i was almost dreading doing them, as each day tacked on a few more. you dont need more than 5-10 minutes to knock each workout out, and you will notice results. not sure the approach is ground breaking, but it was very easy to follow.

Nothing Special

by David Troupe from New Jersey on 2010-05-26
All this book does is give reasons why pushups are good to do. Teach you how to do them and tell you its important to warm up. All of this information can be found else where and wasn't all that great anyways. the only useful part for me was the chart to tell you how to get to 100 consecutive pushups. Honestly though even that isn't all that necessary. I guess I was just expecting a better training method then simply do this many pushups. I could have just done 5 or 6 sets a day till failure and I could have got to 100 consecutive just as fast or faster. I think this book is a gimmick and tries to take advantage of those without much knowledge of exercise science.

Not recommended on Kindle format

by Floyd Orr from Redlands, CA USA on 2010-05-18
Much of the value of this book resides in the tables describing the recommended progression through the weeks of training. The tables are virtually unreadable because of the small font size. They were not optimized for the device and hence cannot be enlarged. Buy the print version.
