Book Review & Giveaway: Tracy Anderson's 30-day Method - CLOSED
Any chance I get to review a book about weight loss that promises new methods for achieving goals, I'll jump at! I received Tracy Anderson's 30-Day Method: The Weight-Loss Kick-Start that Makes Perfection Possible for review and I think there are some really great points in the book but it definitely isn't the ideal solution for everyone!
From the press release:
Based on ten years of scientific research and experience getting not just herself, but A-list stars and everyday people, red carpet ready, Anderson has developed a unique 30-day diet and workout routine that reshapes the body and defies genetics to tone the muscles and drop the pounds. While most people incorrectly target their major muscle groups, like the bicep or hamstring, the focus should be on the smaller accessory muscles that can create a long, lean, balanced look--instead of bulked up look. Anderson's program is composed of a groundbreaking three-tiered approach, including a mat workout and cardio routine targeting the all-important accessory muscles, and an exclusive 30-day meal plan, complete with dozens of delicious recipes. This comprehensive kick-start program is unlike any other workout on the market and it leaves no chance for anything but terrific, fast results!
My thoughts:
I loved some of the ideas in the book and I can see why this plan works for those that are looking to achieve perfection. In my opinion this book is for those that want to lose those last 10-pounds and just haven't had luck! I like the exercise routines, but I get bored easily with exercise so I don't know that I could keep these routines up for a full 30-days for the 45 minutes to 1.5 hours that are required per day....I just don't have that much time (working full-time plus two toddlers - not gonna happen) and with exercise restrictions from my doctor, it just doesn't work for me! If you add in the meal preparations, you are looking at devoting 1-3 hours per day (minimum) on achieving your ultimate goal weight (just a warning)! If you're looking to lose weight, find a new routine to help you get to your final target weight, and have plenty of time to devote to it, then this book is ideal for you! I think there are many people that would be a perfect fit for this book, but for those that work full-time, have young kids, and can't remember the last time they slept more than 5 hours in a night, this book probably isn't meant for you!
