From Publishers Weekly
Today show fitness expert and Self magazine columnist Kaehler is responsible for the amazing physical fitness of Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and Michelle Pfeiffer, and in this book, she aims to bring readers on board the fitness train as well. Kaehler’s advice is positive and down-to-earth, telling her readers, "you can’t fight genetics" and attain a standard of beauty that is the norm in Hollywood, but that they can achieve a level of fitness that will improve their looks and life. The book breaks down into seven distinct workouts based on routines Kaehler created for celebrities. Each exercise is appealingly illustrated with a photograph of the super-fit Kaehler performing the move. Healthy recipes from Hollywood chefs and on-set caterers are sprinkled throughout the book as well. The routines are a good mix of trendy exercise ball and yoga moves, along with the old-fashioned basics like jumping jacks and jump rope. She reveals just enough about her clients, remarking that Claudia Schiffer’s "upper-body strength was non-existent" and that Pfeiffer hated their 4:30 am workouts, to keep the book an interesting read. Julia Roberts comes off the best, as a genuinely kind, unassuming person, in the author’s view. This book will receive lots of publicity from the Today show and other media outlets, so expect high demand during the New Year resolution rush. Photos.

Review

Hollywood’s hottest bodies have high praise for Kathy Kaehler!

“Exercising with Kathy has changed my life in a great, subtle and consistent way. I must admit, I don’t love exercise, but I do love how I feel afterward. Accomplishment, clarity, energy, strength, joy. These are all things I give myself through working out, and I can feel it in everything I do.” —Julia Roberts

“Kathy’s workouts really give you results. The abdominal exercises are great—they get right to that spot that you want to tighten. Working out with Kathy was something I always looked forward to.” —Cindy Crawford

“After spending years training with Kathy, I now have the tools to exercise safely and effectively on my own, and fit a workout into my hectic schedule. She has shown me how to stay in shape without having to spend all of those hours in the gym that are a waste of time and frankly boring as hell!” —Michelle Pfeiffer

“Working out with Kathy was an inspiration to me, and I hope an inspiration to all women. Her workout regimens are enjoyable and easy-to-follow, and her advice is honest. By simply taking time out to listen to our bodies, we can achieve realistic results on the inside as well as the outside.” —Claudia Schiffer

“I was working out with Kathy right after Friends started its run. She taught me that basic exercises like walking, stretching, and using my own body weight for resistance will get me into the best physical condition. When I am able to exercise, I always feel good about myself and am much more likely to stick to a healthy lifestyle.” —Jennifer Aniston
