5-0 out of 5 stars A treasure re-discovered
I first read this book back in high school when I borrowed it from my town's public library. I digested it, and still train to this day in accord with it's basic guidance (going on to nidan in judo, no less). I tried for many years to locate another copy of it, to no avail until very recently. A treasure, re-discovered! It really does "feed the need" of every young man, providing the guidance one seeks to grow bigger and stronger, as well as to be able to walk the streets with the calm certainty that you & yours are well-protected. The training routine it epouses is a bare-bones whole body schedule of basic, compound exercises. No periodization, cycling, cross-training, steroids, split routines, or even nutritional supplementation. No FRILLS, in other words. What is DOES have, is the same essential approach that has built more muscle on more people over the years, than ALL the above mentioned distractions combined. On the self-defense half of the book, you're schooled in textbook judo and jujutsu. For the same reasons the musclebuilding half of the book wouldn't appeal to some (doesn't have extravagant claims or bloated, steroid-gutted monkies posing for the photos, leaving some to say, "It's too simple! It couldn't possibly work!"), some will dismiss the self-defense instruction herein as outdated or overly simplistic. Not so! The moves are largely gross motor movements, as opposed to the fine motor skills which one rapidly loses when the heartbeat starts racing. In other words, drill yourself & your training partner in these moves and they'll be there WHEN YOU NEED THEM; more complex choreographed drills trained with respectful and compliant partners in your dojo WON'T. Art is beautiful and absolutely WONDERFUL to develop so don't stop...when it comes to SURVIVAL in the worst circumstances, however, you need the kind of bedrock simplicity typified by the instruction in this book. The muscles you will build, furthermore, will serve to deter at least some aggressors toward "easier looking" victims, or, failing that, power your strikes and help you resist his. This obscure, almost unknown book from the early 60s is terribly under-appreciated and the author deserves way more recognition!

Product Description

Women need extra-strong bones at every age -- from adolescence, through pregnancy, and especially after menopause. All you need is 8 minutes a day four days a week, or 16 minutes a day two days a week -- to achieve a strong, sexy, shapely body while you build protective muscles and denser bones.

Vedral's groundbreaking program includes:

* Easy-to-follow strengthening exercises for the most vulnerable body parts
* Safe and simple body-shaping exercises to tone, slim, and beautify your entire body
* Targeted muscle- and bone-strengthening exercises to guard against injury for dozens of sports -- including tennis, skiing, running, bicycling, dancing, and golf
* Mother-daughter secrets of putting BONE-IN-THE-BANK -- creating extra reserves of calcium to draw upon as you grow older
* Nutritional information for jump-starting your weight-loss, healthy-body program
* Handy 6-page cutout wall chart to make exercising even easier!Amazon.com Review
Joyce Vedral promises you can strengthen and shape your bodyand build bone in only 16 minutes a day with this illustratedprogram. This author of numerous exercise and health books (includingEating to Trimand Weight TrainingMade Easy) and frequent talk-show guest offers basic exercisesthat purport to work every major muscle group effectively. All of theexercises are compiled into handy pullout charts for quick reference,and dozens of photographs show Vedral's sleek and sculpted 54-year-oldbody illustrating the maneuvers. In addition to the program, you'llfind plenty of solid information about building muscle and bone.

Vedral relies on research indicating that working out with weightsaids in building bone density. However, some strength-training expertswould advise women to work out with heavier weights if they are strongenough to handle them, rather than the one- to three-pound weightsVedral recommends for her beginners' program. She does say you shouldraise the heft of your weights when the program becomes easy, so don'tmiss this point with her emphasis on light weights.

If you're a young woman, Bone-Building Body-Shaping Workout isnot only for your mother: according to Vedral, weight training helpsyou put "bone in the bank" so that you have more to drawfrom decades from now, and it will increase your fat-burningrate. --Joan Price ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Joyce vedral bone building body shaping workout is fantastic
I can't say enough about this book. I started using this routine by Joyce Vedral when I was 43 yrs old,that was 9 yrs.ago. I was the mother of six children and had never excercised or lifted a weight. I followed this routine and in a matter of a few weeks I could see results. I used this workout program, and others by Joyce for many years and was in the best shape of my life. People couldn't believe my age or the fact that I had six children because I was so thin and shapely. I excercised up until 3 yrs when I had stopped because of a serious leg injury that left me unable to do any workouts. During some tests done 2 years ago, I was told I had the bone density of a 30 yr old. I truly believe that was" bone in the bank" which Joyce refers to in this book.I am now ready to begin a workout program again and this is the routine I plan on using. Its fantastic.

4-0 out of 5 stars Timing Off, But Good Advice
I totally agree with the other 4-star reviewers here, there is no way to do these routines in 8 or 16 minutes for the suggested exercises. To do the 2-day split, you better plan on about 40 minutes or so. I like the concept of the pyramid and do believe that it is very effective for muscle definition, however, the exercises and concepts are a bit dated and I like to go heavy where the last couple of reps are challenging. Somehow, she doesn't support that. She repeatedly advices to use 1 to 3 pound weights, but later admits that she herself goes up to 20 lbs. There is also no mentioning of interval or circuit training, or changing speed and rep patterns when your body adapts after a while, maybe because the book is older. She also says that under no circumstances should you mix the exercises of different body parts (for ex. biceps, then shoulders, then back to biceps) but she never explains why. Some of the pictures show poor form and the ab exercises are neither challenging, nor long enough. Aside from the workout, the general advice about muscles, bones, workouts, health, diet and weight control is pretty good and she also explains how she keeps her weight in check. There is a forbidden food list with some items like peanut butter and nuts on it as if it was the same as cake and donuts which I don't agree with. (While nuts have lots of calories they are still healthy). I'm a DVD addict (Cathe Friedrich, Amy Bento, Jari Love, etc.) and feel a lot more challenged and engaged following their workouts than trying to do my own from a book, but all in all this book is very informative and confirms that exercising is the fountain of youth. As a long-time exerciser I know all of this, but like to read about it from time to time and after reading ths book I'm reassured that the pyramid style will bust plateaus and is more effective than most other styles of weight training, but I will stick to Cathe's Pyramid which is truly the best!

5-0 out of 5 stars Joyce Vedral Rocks!
I was so glad to see this book available.I have used Vedral's programs in the past and know they work.No gimmicks, no frills, etc.

The book includes the valuable wall chart of exercises.The pictures are easy to follow and simple hand weights are all you really need.

Thank you!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Great routine
This is a great routine and the book is an easy-read that I found quite motivating.I was a bit discouraged, however, when I discovered how long the exercises actually take.It takes me 30 minutes to complete the "8-minute" routines. I would have actually felt more motivated had I been more adequately prepared to allow for the necessary time. That said, I commend Joyce for this book, which also includes a chapter on diet and a chapter on aerobic exercise. I am very encouraged that I may be able to prevent osteoporosis, and am recommending this book to my mom, who was recently diagnosed.

5-0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-read book with a good workout, and eating advice.
This workout is great, although you may want to do ALL the designated warm-up exercises at the beginning of the workout, in order to avoid wasting time picking up and putting down the dumbbells between sections. If you do this I think it would be much easier to get the workout time down to where the book claims it should be.

I own The 12-Minute Total Body Workout book, and in one respect, this book is better in that it contains a photo chart of all the exercises involved, which "12-Minute" does NOT have.I recommend that you buy a copy of this book, make a copy of the chart, then cut it up and paste each exercise onto index cards, so that you can mix up the order of the exercises every few weeks or so, as well as putting the warmups at the beginning of the workout.

Both books are great. ... Read more
