Product Description: Women learn to choose clothes that mask their flaws--few are comfortable with the way their bodies look nude. Look Great Naked is an exercise and diet program emphasizing muscle toning for getting rid of those flaws. Fitness trainer Brad Schoenfeld, author of Sculpting Her Body Perfect, focuses on the "trouble zones"--abdominals, buttocks, and thighs. He recommends high reps (15-20) for definition without increasing muscle size. Although he admits there is no such thing as spot reducing--you can't trim fat from one area of the body--his targeted exercises define and tone those problem areas.

Schoenfeld recommends working each trouble spot for 15 minutes a day. The exercises are clearly explained and illustrated. Many exercises use health-club equipment, but you can work out at home with dumbbells, ankle weights, elastic strength bands, and an adjustable bench. Schoenfeld's nutritional program is higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates than most medical and dietary associations recommend. He includes 45 recipes, some from fitness models. This book lacks upper-body exercises, so it isn't a complete body sculpting program. But if you're looking for a variety of exercises for abs, buns, and thighs, you'll find them here. --Joan Price


Customer Reviews

1 stars Lame
This was not a full body workout. Lower body focus for the gym and not for home. This wasn't worth the dollar I spent.


4 stars The only sure fire way to lose weight and change your body
I bought another one Brad Schoenfeld's books and was really pleased with the exercises and attitude it presented. If you're really serious about changing the way you look, either of his books can get you started down the path to weight training. I really recommend anything he's written.


5 stars THIS BOOK IS AWESOME-IT REALLY WORKS!!
I have tried everything to trim and tone my body but nothing has given me results like this book has!!! I started noticing changes in my body in only two weeks. The exercises vary, so you don't get bored, and you only have to work out for 15-20 min. every other day. (they recommend 48 hrs rest between workouts in the book)!!! I LOVE IT!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO OTHERS!


4 stars Let The Facts Be Known
The author really sets some things straight and gives explanation of his findings against certain types of diet and "fat burners". Great lay out of the exercises and most include ways to work out at home!! This is what really sold me on the book.


2 stars A few useful tips, but ultimately not very helpful
This book provides some very general tips that are useful regarding reps, stretches, and exercises, but really fell short of what I was expecting. The author does have a very positive, energizing tone and is extremely encouraging, which is great. However, as other readers have noted, a huge portion of the book is recipes. Some of the recipes are very plain and uncreative (such as sprinkling fish with spices and broiling) and others are just unappetizing (like a salad comprised of beans, onions and chicken). Most are suggestions from bodybuilding professionals that have no body fat and big, bulky muscles. Personally, that wasn't the result I was looking for, so I found his suggestions too rigid to realistically implement in my everyday life. If you are looking to become a future Ms.Universe and want a strict plan that will help you lose all body fat, this is probably a great book for you. But if you're looking for some useful advice to tone up and a realistic plan that still allows you to eat like a normal human being, this may disappoint you. There are better books out there.
