Totally Toned Arms
by Rylan Duggan, CSCS
From the Publisher:
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 FIGHT ARM FLAB, 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 Review:
I was so excited to get this book.
I read it in “one sitting”.
The program is basically sound,
and the suggested
eating plan in sensible…
and one that I can easily follow.
The exercises are explained well, and there
are pictures for each step of each one.
Yes, you can do this at home.
No, you don’t need a lot of equipment.
BUT – and this is a big BUT…
it is not a program that
“anyone can do, no matter what their fitness level”!
I tried, but was unable to do a number of the exercises.
This program is not for the faint at heart,
or for people in poor physical shape.
I imagine that if I did the cardio portion
on a regular basis,
and lost quite a bit of weight,
I would be able to begin doing
some of the strength training.
If you are in relatively good shape,
I would certainly recommend this book to use
to the fullest extent.
If you’re like me, I’d say “get the book, and
begin the cardio and follow the diet.”
Once you’ve built up some stamina
(Always check with your health care professional
before beginning any new exercise program and
eating plan!!!)
