valuable addition to your fitness library 
2007-09-09 - i like this book. it's informative and brings the workouts from several top trainers together. there are great pictures and there are several different pieces of equipment (including your own body weight) utilized in the exercises. there's a good discussion on nutrition. i refer to the book frequently. like now when i'm focused on my arms. well done!
An orchestrated approach culled from the successful experiences of celebrity stars.
2007-06-17 - Alyssa Shaffer is the fitness director of Fitness Magazine, and here interviews top celebrity trainers who reveal how they work out to achieve their maximum body style. From developing attainable goals to keep you motivated and exercising to incorporating a fitness routine into a busy schedule and targeting specific problem areas, THE A-LIST WORKOUT is no single program, but an orchestrated approach culled from the successful experiences of celebrity stars. Black and white photos throughout explain exercise routines.

Nice Easy to Use Book 
2007-06-08 - This is a great idea book. I took it to the gym and used the techniques. It is a great beginners book.
Very good workout book!
2007-03-27 - Don't be decieved by the cover! Something about the name and the picture on the front threw me. I thought it might be one of those books of how the celebrity worked out and never really explaining the workout to the reader, just so the author could make a quick buck.
This is very well written with weekly workout routines and every exercise has photos to follow up on. They separate your goal into different routines.
What I love most about this book is that they don't use the default strength training moves! They use band resistance (or tubing) and do different, unique moves to tone the body! This is really a workout you could do at home in your living room. You don't need a treadmill, if you have a nice place to walk and run or jump rope even!
The star's trainers, for example, Mike Alexander (Jessica Simpson's trainer) writes a whole section for abs and the exercises he uses. In another chaper, another trainer writes about the best shoulder toning moves.
I felt like the nutrition section wasn't gimmicky or to hard to follow. They were real in their advice, following a natural whole foods diet with fish and lean meats to get your protien.
All in all- I might have an addiction to buying diet and fitness books, but this is a great one to add to my collection. Especially because I love using the Physioball (think that big, pop resistant workout ball) and resistance tubing!
Very good book
2007-03-26 - Very good book, lots of great excercise ideas, and understanding of how the muscles work, and how they work for the celebs
