About this Item

ESCAPE YOUR SHAPE makes an incredible promise to readers - that you can reduce problem areas and develop the body you want in a remarkably short period of time. The key is identifying your body type and working out according to a programme that takes this into account. Edward Jackowski is widely recognized as the first and only fitness expert to create fitness programmes tailored to the four basic body types he calls: Hourglass, Cone, Spoon and Ruler. ESCAPE YOUR SHAPE begins by helping readers identify which one applies to them. It goes on to detail four different work out programmes with variations to accomodate physical contraints such as back or joint injuries. Readers who struggle every day with exercise thinking their bodies cannot change, who believe genetics control their physical destiny, take hope! Anyone - no matter what their shape, no matter what their height, weight, or current level of fitness, can improve their body dramatically by exercising properly for their body type.

Synopsis

The Individualized Fitness Prescription for Your Body Type
Do you wonder why the latest fitness fad doesn't work for you? Have you lifted weights for months, dreaming of toned, defined muscles, with no results? Have you exercised regularly for months -- or even years -- without seeing any changes in your body? If you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are your exercise routine is incomplete and wrong for your body type.
Everyone -- men and women alike -- has a natural shape:
Hourglass® Spoon® Ruler® Cone®
And there's a right and a wrong way to exercise for each. By exercising right for your body type you'll finally see stubborn problem areas start to change in a matter of weeks -- the kind of change that will motivate you to continue until you meet your goals and beyond.
You don't need to buy expensive equipment or devote hours a day to this program. Whether you're twenty-two or seventy-two, a regular at the gym or making a serious commitment to exercise for the first time in your life, the man Fit magazine calls the "Shape Master" puts the most important tool for success in your hands: a detailed step-by-step workout for your body type that you can perform anywhere. With consistent workouts fueled by quantifiable results, you will dramatically change your body for the better and for the rest of your life.
