Media Reviews
Starred Review [Kacy] Duke, a personal trainer to celebrities like Kirsten Dunst, Denzel Washington, and Julianne Moore, has crafted an inspirational volume to help women celebrate the body you have, get the body you want. She addresses not only the physical aspects of fitness but also the spiritual and emotional components needed to maintain it. Women will appreciate her emphasis on sense of self; the point here is to realize the potential of one's individual physique, not aim for an unattainable Hollywood ideal. Each of the three parts ( I Am, I Can, and I Do ) features motivational text, woman warrior exercises, healthy recipes, milestones, and a workout log. Duke has an approachable style and blends references to current scientific research with information on different cultural goddesses throughout. Her book creates the effect of having a personal trainer, and the general public will love it. Highly recommended for public libraries, particularly where self-help and fitness books are popular.--Mary Grace Flaherty, Sidney Memorial P.L., NY Library Journal
