Every woman has a pair of trophy “skinny” jeans in her closet: a memento of days past, when she felt young, sexy, and fit. Now, with the help of personal trainer and fitness expert Amy Cotta, the time to zip those fabulous jeans back up has arrived. In Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans, Cotta shares the diet and exercise strategies she has used to stay in swimsuit-competition shape and help her clients slim down without fail. Her simple six-week program involves cutting fast-burning carbohydrates in the first three weeks to ignite weight loss, reintroducing them slowly afterward to continue to melt pounds, and taking on a cardio and strengthening system to blast fat, burn calories, and tone the hips, thighs, and core. To keep things fun and simple, Cotta includes food and fitness trackers, tasty recipes, and tips on everything from cleaning out the pantry to finding the right sports bra. Plus, readers will see real-life results: photos and testimonials from women who are back in their skinny jeans and loving it.
With tons of upbeat advice, action-packed strategies, and a clear, tangible weight loss goal with proven results, Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans gives readers the information and inspiration they need to take control of their workouts and their diets and truly feel great about their bodies.
