Full Backcover Description
I’m an everyday woman when it comes to fitness. I know exercise is key for my health and well-being, but I don’t always enjoy doing it. And as a busy mom, I have had a hard time fitting workouts into my schedule.
But I’ve learned that having fun with exercise can make all the difference. So I’ve teamed up with my friend and trainer Janice Clark to demonstrate two safe, sane, and effective workouts for women of all shapes and sizes. Two more friends join us so we can show three options for each move: beginner (and those with physical limitations), a step up, and challenging.
If you’re an everyday woman who wants to be healthier, stronger, more energetic and have a looser waistband, follow us and have some fun! – Lisa Whelchel
BONUS: Personal training tips: little things you can do throughout the say to boost your health and fitness
Janice Clark holds certifications as a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She has a degree in sports medicine and has worked in both medical therapy and exercise studios.

Certified instructor description:
A time-efficient workout that features easy-to-follow, totally non-intimidating movements. Along with these “everyday” exercisers, you'll be burning calories, toning muscles and having fun. Janice Clark leads the program while Lisa adds the down-to-earth motivation (e.g. “reach up for the cookies ... no, I mean for the fruit”). Nearly every exercise is shown at three levels. You can start with the “foundation” option or advance to the “challenge” variation. The first segment focuses on body-sculpting. It includes a variety of Pilates and traditional floor/standing routines. The second section adds a cardio fat-burning benefit with hops, skaters and even gentle “speed blasts.” Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. DVD also has a personal training info section. ©2013.
