Has anyone read this book or followed this guy's advice for "escaping your shape?" I'm a "spoon" - I'm not overweight and I'm slim, but I've always had a jiggly butt, saddlebags, and thick legs, while my upper body is thin. As I get older, I see this tendency in myself getting even more dramatic.
Escape Your Shape says that people with my body type should never do step aerobics, squats, lunges, run, stairmaster, kickbox, spinning -- basically, all the hard-core, demanding exercises I've been doing for the past 12 years! Of course, I'm interested to know whether I've been doing the wrong thing for my body type. I just feel frustrated because I'm an advanced exerciser, I work out 5-6 days a week, I cross-train, and can do all the hardest videos, taking it to the max every workout. But these darn saddlebags persist! I've really cleaned up my eating in the past 6 months, too.
Also, if I cut out all the exercises I've listed above - what's left to do? I'm not going to do jumping jacks for 45 minutes! Is there anything to this guy's philosophy?
