Made me feel like I have two left feet! 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I could keep up with the first few routines, but as he added more and more, I became lost, frustrated and ended up joining the Billy Idol school of dancing with myself to Jamie King's music instead. Not really what I was hoping for. Perhaps this is best for people with a lot more hip hop dance experience?

I remember picking up this book at a thrift store and the low price tag and of couse title caught my eye. At the time, I was pretty sceptical but, I started doing what Wendy says in her book and it actually worked! I have almost every book on how to slim your thighs but this is one of the most effective I've ever tried. It's realistic in it's approach and I was pleased with the results. It worked as well as ballet class did when I was younger. If you're able to pick up a copy do it! I highly recommend this book.

I encountered this book in college. I asked all those coeds with shapely legs how they did it. Their secret was following the few, simple exercises in this book. After using it for several weeks, I can already tell a positive difference.

A lighthearted but helpful look at body image 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I loved the cover artwork for this book and the impression it gives (a fun read about a potentially serious subject) was accurate. Dr Linda Mintle explores many of the common issues of self-image that women have - dissatisfaction with face, stomach, breasts, thighs, hair etc., and how flawed our model of what we should be achieving can be. She looks at the dieting obsession that is so prevalent, along with eating disorders and the root causes of some of these problems. She talks about ageing and how this can affect a woman's physical body and self-awareness, along with unhelpful portrayals of ideal bodies on TV, in magazines and newspapers and in shops.

Linda Mintle's writing style is very readable with many personal illustrations, some humour and, at the end of each chapter, relating the issue to the reader's relationship with God. Her illustrations are rather American-centric, as is her use of situations and regular comments on very pervasive elective plastic surgery (less common in the UK) but her overall points are valid wherever we live and in whatever Western culture.

This book covers a broad range of topics and 230 pages don't allow her to delve really deeply into any of them but this is certainly a worthwhile introduction to an important subject for many women and gives some theological insights into our own views of our image and our physical attributes.

Editorial Review:

Get your thighs off your mind and lose the lies that bind.

Women of America, it's time to stop obsessing and start making peace with your thighs, your waist, and any other body part that leads you to feel inadequate.

Everywhere we turn-magazines, movies, television-we are bombarded with images of what a woman "should" look like. And every image makes body acceptance and confidence harder to achieve. So author and therapist Dr. Linda is inviting all members of the sisterhood of the dissatisfied traveling pants to discover how we arrived at this discontent and how to change our attitudes-and our lives-when it comes to liking our bodies.

Editorial Review:

In my book: "The Fit Arthritic: Fighting Knee and Hip Arthritis with Exercise" I will describe how someone with arthritis can start to take control of their pain and improve their health. I encourage collaboration with a health professional and will help my readers to learn more about osteoarthritis and self-treatment options. I detail many medications in the book and hope that my readers will be able to reduce their use of prescription and over-the-counter pain medications. I define fitness for someone with arthritis and help the reader to plan and exercise their way to less pain and improved health. My goal is that those affected with osteoarthritis can be come a "fit arthritic" with me. From the Foreword: "I am now in my mid-forties and pleasantly enjoying mostly pain-free days. I used to consume more than 2000 ibuprofen tablets yearly and now I rarely take them for knee pain. I can walk for extended distances and finished a day-long hike in Yosemite National Park this year. I am finally at a healthy weight around 175 pounds. I have discovered many principles that have helped me to become more active, suffer from less pain, and yes, consider myself fit once again." ALAN KELTON M.D. is a practicing internal medicine doctor. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF Fresno.He is listed as one of "Americas Top Physicians"for 2007 and was selected by physicians in the Fresno, California area as a "Best Doctor" and he has been recognized as a "Top Ten"physician for quality of care for two years in a row. He has been a team physician for the Fresno Falcons Professional Hockey team two seasons.He has been an invited lecturer on exercise and osteoarthritis and also for heart disease at Community Hospital's Live Better Women's Health Festival. Having suffered from the effects of osteoarthritis (OA) for more than 20 years, Dr.Kelton wants to give hope and improved health to fellow "fit arthritics." You can find him walking over two miles to breakfast with his three-generation family on most Saturday mornings, weather allowing.

THE TOTAL BODY LIFT 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

The TOTAL BODY LIFT by Dr. Dennis Hurwitz is a must read by anyone who is considering having gastric bypass and for those doctors who treat the obese. It not only gives in great detail all the procedures done in the Total Body Lift but also give excellent information on gastric bypass. There are very detailed drawings of the procedures with before and after photo's. I personally have had the Total Body Lift done by Dr. Hurwitz after losing 175 pounds. It is a most amazing transformation. After being overweight since I was 7 years old and continued to gain after each child, I have never been an average weight. After that extreme weight loss there was a lot of hanging skin, though pleased that I looked better and was the healthiest I have ever been; still I was not happy with how my body looked. After the Total Body Lift, the skin was tight and I had a figure, now fitting into a size 10 jean was just incredible. Dr. Hurwitz is a brilliant surgeon that combines plastic surgery with art. To be able to transform all the hanging skin into a nice looking figure after so many years of obesity is truly amazing. In addition to his skill, his wonderful bedside manner, warm personality and his wonderful staff I feel like I am part of the family. He is truly a unique individual that we (the ex-obese) are so fortunate to have. Thank you Dr. Hurwitz for my amazing transformation.

Coping with RLS 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

If you have (or know someone who has) Restless Legs Syndrome, this book is an excellent resource. The subjects are covered in a detailed but easy-to-understand way, and I have found much help for this affliction. I even bought another copy to give to our RLS Support Group Leader!

Editorial Review:

The hallmark of the neurologic disorder RLS is an irresistible urge to move, most commonly at night. Symptoms vary in severity and can result in sleeplessness, fatigue, and impaired function, and can affect families and relationships as well. Written by leaders in this field and sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology, Restless Legs Syndrome explains what is known about RLS, including its causes and manifestations, and what can be done to manage it. Specific chapters cover treatments, including drug and non-pharmalogic therapy, RLS in children, lifestyle changes, resources, and more.

Editorial Review:

This book is a source of valuable information for anyone who is searching for the facts about hip surgery. The information in this book can help to answer questions about total hip replacement, revisions, hip resurfacing, preparations for surgery as well as post surgery. It also includes information on doctors who are performing the hip resurfacing surgery.

The introduction, by Dr. Koen De Smet, along with a chapter on questions and answers can bring forth clarity to the reader. Dr. Koen De Smet is one of the pioneers of the hip resurfacing surgery, and considered by many to be one of the foremost hip surgeons in the world.

This book reveals ways that patients use our new technology to find the answers that they are entitled to and often not given by their physicians. Frequently, patients are not informed of the options available. Knowing what questions to ask your doctor would be a gift that this book may provide.

When Peggy Gabriel was told that her scheduled total hip replacement surgery would drastically change her active lifestyle, and that she would be facing future revisions, she desperately searched for another alternative. Thus, she entered a labyrinth of discovery, intertwined with medical and insurance issues that would ultimately lead her to a satisfactory solution.

This book is a story of a journey by Peggy Gabriel, laced with facts, personal experiences of others who have had hip surgery, and victory over pain and limitations.
