Synopsis
Low self-esteem, weight issues, and lack of exercise can all too often lead teenagers to mental, emotional, eating, and other disorders that last long into adulthood. At this critical juncture, when the body is still forming from child to mature adult, it is crucial to develop good exercise and eating habits. In TONING FOR TEENS, Joyce Vedral manages to somehow make all this seem fun, showing workout routines that teens can do at home, in the privacy of their rooms or basement with no one to judge them. She also offers also dietary guidelines and clears up many common misconceptions teens (and adults as well) may have about fitness, such as that working out with free weights causes weight and bulk gain and that muscles turn to flab if you don't keep working out. (Neither is true.) The exercises revolve around hand dumbbells of five to 15 pounds--these and a bench are all that's needed--and they have cool names like the "Clamshell Crunch" and "Frog Leg Lift." TONING FOR TEENS is profusely illustrated with photographs, and all is presented in a lively and engaging format.
