Whether you want toned arms for your sleeveless gown or flat abs for your honeymoon bikini, certified trainer Sue Fleming can help you get in better shape for your wedding, even if you have only six months. This slim (106-page) book presents a six-month strength-training daily workout guide with cardio recommendations and a "crash program" if theres only 12 weeks before the wedding. The strength-training exercises are basic, beginning workouts using dumbbells, stability ball, step, and ankle weights, all clearly explained and illustrated. The cardio recommendations are very general--for instance, 75 minutes per week for weeks five and six, doing one or two activities that raise your heart rate for most of your workout, which should last at least 25 minutes. Sadly, Fleming runs through just a few ways (walking, running, and biking) to get aerobic exercise, but doesn't explore the huge array of cardio options or give much detail on this essential fitness component. Recommended for beginning exercisers who are committed to following a regular program and need specific strength-training exercises. --Joan Price

 Great Exercises, Not-so-great Nutrition Info September 13, 2008
Just based on the title, you can't expect much about dieting, but I was at least hoping for more than how to balance my meals. She tells you things like "you should eat 15-20 percent of your calories from proteins," but that requires actually planning my meals for the whole day...something I can't easily do. I wish she had some examples of daily menus and how the foods you eat can boost your performance when you work out. Besides that, I love this book. Each and every exercise has a clear picture and directions. Also, you can choose which work out plan to do (24 weeks or 12 weeks) depending on how much time until your big day! She tells you which exercises to do on which days and they only take me about 30 minutes! I definitely have been feeling the effects of working out (more energy, motivated, slightly sore). I usually hate to exercise because I find it a waste of time; however, this book is empowering and I'm excited to be toning up. She knows all the exercises that will give us the results we want! If you will be doing these exercises from home, you will need to purchase an exercise ball and some light weights (3,5, 8, or 10 depending on your level). Also, you should have a sturdy coffee table, a chair, and an exercise mat if you don't have soft carpet. Some of the exercises call for ankle weights, but I've managed without them. I recommend this book to any brides-to-be or anyone who is eager to shape up. Good luck!

I bought this book to get ready for my upcoming wedding this summer. It's a great book. It's very easy to read and has a great personal touch. I love how she has pre-planned the workouts and is giving realistic time frames. I read it in one day and I love her exercises. They are very reasonable and she explains them great.

This book is awesome! It is easy to follow and includes a well balanced weight training program. There are pictures of each exercize as well as differentiation for Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced levels. Plus, you don't need much equipment to get the job done! Just a few handweights and an exercise ball. I showed this book to a personal trainer and he said it is exactly the same as routines that he designs for $75 a session. Great Buy!
Targeted Program for Brides December 2, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I first received this product, my husband (then fiancee) was a bit concerned about the title. Buff he said?? I calmed him down by saying that the book was all about toning and firming. It is arranged by area you would like to work on, like arms, back, chest, tummy, and butt. It was nice to have specific exercises for target areas. I really felt like it worked and I felt beautiful on my wedding day.
I thought the suggested programs were helpful as it had specifics on which exercises to do for each week. It had a Buff Bride program for the bride with 6 months and a 12 week Crash Program for those brides with less time. My only suggestion would be that I would have liked to see some color in the book. The black and white pictures are only so inspiring. My preference is for color pictures, but maybe that is just me.
 Okay Book August 23, 2007

This book would be great if the pictures of the exercises were next to each workout. When you go to the weekly workout, you have to flip to each exercise to see what it is. Since there are 10-12 different exercises to do in a day and so many different types of exercises, it makes it kind of a pain.
Other than that, it has some good tips.
