ABOUT THE BOOK: Once Barack Obama joined the presidential race and attended events with wife at his side, the media, bloggers, and people everywhere started buzzing about Michelle's toned arms--and asking how on earth she does it. Even at the Presidential Inauguration, much of the talk was about Michelle's amazing arms. Media outlets from GMA to CNN to MSNBC have covered the story, inspiring women across the country to call their personal trainers and say, "I want Obama arms!"MY REVIEW:Certified personal trainer Rylan Duggan, creator of the successful (and pricey, at $70 each!) e-book series Go Sleeveless!, constantly gets calls from clients and reporters asking for the training secrets behind Michelle's arms. Duggan is the expert quoted in much of this coverage, and in FIGHT ARM FLAB, he offers his 21-day program to get those sleek and sexy arms.
In this low-priced paperback, Duggan reveals the program (combining strength training and cardio) including a 7-day jumpstart maintenance plan, and essential diet secrets designed to shed fat and reveal toned muscle, plus 50-60 black and white photos throughout to illustrate. This is a simple program that anyone can do, no matter what their fitness level, at home and with little equipment. With this series of 25 easy exercises, anyone can have Obama arms--in a matter of weeks!

I thought that the book had great advice to get in shape through diet and exercise. I liked how they talked about the principles of nutrition and explained why you should eat/drink some things and not other things. They even give you 10 Nutritional Commandments that you should follow. All of these guidelines are easy to follow and aren't anything drastic. They really are things you should be doing anyways, such as eating vegetables every day and 10-12 glasses of water each day.
The 21 day program was easy to follow and I loved the pictures that were included with all of the steps. I'm a visual person, so that really helped me! One thing that I really liked about the exercises is that they gave you a "home version" and a "gym version" so that way you can either use these exercises at home or at the gym.
These are somewhat intense exercises and for me I didn't have a problem with them, but I have heard from a few others that if you're not in very good shape, you may want to hold off on the exercises and first work on the strength building exercises and follow the diet. Then once you feel like you are ready, then begin the 21 day program.
I liked the book, but I will be honest that I haven't started the 21 day program yet. I don't really need to lose weight (and lifting my son every day has made my arms pretty tough). I did try out each of the exercises though and I can already tell that these exercises will work. My arms really killed the next day after I did a full exercise! I am picking a few exercises and doing them each day to tone up, but I am really excited to use this book after I have my second baby. My arms were very flabby (and so was everything else) after I had my son. The diet guidelines will also come in handy when I'm trying to lose my baby weight. So, if you want fabulous arms and are looking to tone up, I would highly recommend this book!

Influence can be defined as the power exerted over the minds and behavior of others. A power that can affect, persuade and cause changes to someone or something. In order to influence people, you first need to discover what is already influencing them. What makes them tick? What do they care about? We need some leverage to work with when we’re trying to change how people think and behave.
