Book Review & Giveaway - Totally Toned Arms: Get Michelle Obama Arms in 21 Days

About the Book

Once Barack Obama joined the presidential race and attended events with wife at his side, the media, bloggers, and people everywhere started buzzing about Michelle's toned arms--and asking how on earth she does it. Even at the Presidential Inauguration, much of the talk was about Michelle's amazing arms. Media outlets from GMA to CNN to MSNBC have covered the story, inspiring women across the country to call their personal trainers and say, "I want Obama arms!"

Certified personal trainer Rylan Duggan, creator of the successful (and pricey, at $70 each!) e-book series Go Sleeveless!, constantly gets calls from clients and reporters asking for the training secrets behind Michelle's arms. Duggan is the expert quoted in much of this coverage, and in TOTALLY TONED ARMS, he offers his 21-day program to get those sleek and sexy arms.

In this low-priced paperback, Duggan reveals the program (combining strength training and cardio) including a 7-day jumpstart maintenance plan, and essential diet secrets designed to shed fat and reveal toned muscle, plus 50-60 black and white photos throughout to illustrate. This is a simple program that anyone can do, no matter what their fitness level, at home and with little equipment. With this series of 25 easy exercises, anyone can have Obama arms-- in a matter of weeks!

My Take On This Book
While I am not a woman, I do try to stay fit, and this book (while small - only 178 pages) is full of great information for the person who wants to tone up and start living better.

I liked the fact that the book is set up so that you can go step-by-step toward tone yourself. All of the exercises have pictures accompanying them and there are even dietary guidelines to follow while on this plan to help yourself do the right things to get yourself where you need to be.

The setup of the book is conducive to a good exercise plan. With the fact that the author takes the reader through such things as:

• Strength Training
• Cardiovascular Training
• Nutrition
• The 21-Day Progam
• The Maintenance Plan

These five areas help you to prepare and excute a great exercise plan for your future fitness.

Many people say that one of their new years resolutions is to get fit, and this book is an easy step to take in that direction!
