Synopsis

Celebrity trainer Rob Parr′s star–powered plan for a famously buff body

Success is in the stars with this proven celebrity–based program that offers lasting transformation in 90 days. Instead of the standard apple, pear, or celery stick body shapes, Rob Parr presents body types based on some of his most famous celebrity clients, so that readers can identify with, aspire to, and work toward a body shape like Madonna′s (athletic), Demi Moore′s (hourglass), or Naomi Watts′s (long and slender). The plan is easy to follow and has a lot of variety to keep routines from getting dull, plus celeb secrets, motivational tips, and Hollywood stories to keep things fun and interactive.

Rob Parr (Los Angeles, CA) is a fitness trainer whose clients have included Madonna, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Christy Turlington, Naomi Watts, Maria Shriver, and Alicia Silverstone. He has made numerous appearances on national television, and his work has been featured in Marie Claire, Allure, Self, Shape, and Viv, among many other publications. Laurel House (Los Angeles, CA) is the West Coast Editor for Fit magazine and Fit Yoga magazine.
