Has anyone read this book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578260868/qid=1118677317/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8668851-4506306?v=glance&s=books)? It's called the Body Sculpting Bible for Women.

I'm just curious. :)

no, but reading the summary I came across this statement:

Authors James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera have developed a unique and powerful 14-day body sculpting workout that promises to deliver life-changing and long-lasting results.

14 days??? sounds a bit umm.... unlikely... but the book may have some good information and tips... my suggestion, check your local library and check it out instead of buying it... at least at first... but that's just me

*edit*
after reading the exerpts for this book (you can find them under the picture on the site linked in the first post) it seems to have some really good information... it mirrors a LOT of the information discussed in this forum... it also states (in the excerpt) that the 14 day program is really a 2 week cycle that you repeat over and over... although it does say that this is a unique program just for women.. which makes me skeptic... why just for women?? I can work out just like a man does.. with the exception of personally needing more cardio that most men will ever need... but that's the only exception... I eat the same, I work out the same... being a women has no relevance to what I do in the gym

:) Kendrah, I haven’t seen this book but based on the Amazon “teasers” I think I’ll check it out. Thanks! :nod:

Funny this question should arrive, my dad just bought me this book. I am going to start reading it. If it sounds promising I will try it out. If it works I would be glad to share it with you gals. Be on the look out for my reponse. :D

Read the first couple of Chapters last night and it is pretty good. Goes along with the same ideas that people post here. It's not claiming to transform your body in 14 days. Two weeks is what they are saying is the time it will take to notice changes and to set a foundation for a diet and fitness plan.. So far I am impressed with this book and recommend checking it out. I think I am going to start the program and see what happens. Sounds promising!!

You should read the reviews at amazon, but start with the lowest rated reviews, thats when you usually find out how good the book is.
Here is the link (lowest ratted first) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/1578260868/ref=cm_rev_sort/002-8430745-3960007?customer-reviews.sort_by=%2BOverallRating&me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&x=15&y=12)
one of the reviews:
I bought this book based on the customer reveiws, and now I feel like a fool because they were obviously written by the authors themselves! They all read like an infomercial! I am working on my Masters Degree in Exersise Phisiology and I am always looking for books on the subject to add to my library. This book went in the trash. Athletes or people who train more than 3 times per week should NEVER be on a high protien, low carb diet. And for heavens sake we need more than 1200 calories! I believe this book will lead people to be misinformed. There are some good tips on weight training, but you can get the same information from many other books (I would recommend those that are written for women, by women) and magazines that don't need the authors to write 5-star reveiws for themselves. How pitiful.

why do you recommend books for women by women? Many of those books talk down to women and encourage us to use those "fluffy pink dumbblells"

I share the fluffy pink dumbbells aversion but since I am smaller than the average man (that IS an issue in the gym, kids – gender politics aside then because the machines are sized for the average man), I have moon cycles, I am going to deal with menopause, etc., I feel there is merit in fitness works written for women. But that does not mean they have to be written BY women - just taking into account female physiological differences.

This book looks interesting but not enough to pay for it without review. For instance, after checking BFL out at the library, I decided there is no way I would pay a penny for it. You can get as much just from the web site and more from here. So I second the vote to hit your local library before you pass over your hard earned $$.
