Pg 192, Celebrity Body Secrets
This is another plug for the book “The A-List Workout”, and this time focuses on the best body features of various celebrities, and the exercises they use to maintain them.
From Hilary Swank’s arms, J-Lo’s butt, Jessica Simpson’s back, and Lucy Liu’s stomach, this article promises you can replicate their spunkiness. Each section includes a “make-me-over” tip, and a “session secret”, which might be anything from a dietary approach, to doing multi joint exercises to maximise results.
My biggest complaint about this article is the detailed exercise instructions, and no pictures. The staggered squat makes no sense, and needs at least three pictures to explain it. The lat extension involves a resistance band closed in a door, which to me is begging for someone to be subjected to the hugest rubber band flicking of their life, and the diamond pushup is an exercise I would only give to clients who had wrists made of steel. It also needs a note about keeping your abs strong, as this exercise requires heaps of upper body and abdominal strength, and can go horribly wrong if someone isn’t supervising your technique.
These exercises might be great, but unless you’re going to perform them properly, they’ll end up doing more damage than good. Disappointing **
