Rivett: Jenergy

by Jenny Rivett

"My technique aims to create strength, balance and beautifully streamlined legs and buttocks with a fit, firm and feminine upper body."

These are the words of one of Britain's leading personal trainers, Jenni Rivitt, and few women would turn down the opportunity to achieve just that - and without having to join a gym. Jenni believes that women want to look like women and has therefore worked out how to achieve a fit, firm and feminine body using time-efficient methods and techniques that work. This book proves that no matter how busy you are it only takes 45 minutes, three to four times a week to achieve your fitness goals.

This fully illustrated and lively guide explains everything you need to know. The exercises are divided up into sections for each area of the body starting with the all-important warm up. Jenni begins with the arms, back and chest. She moves on to the lower body and finally the ever-problematic abdominals. The routines end with stretching to open out and relax the muscles. She emphasises the importance of technique, strength training, balance and posture.

Jenni also sets out to show that the body benefits from permanent healthy eating, not dieting. She is keen to educate women about their metabolism and the factors that influence it, claiming that the importance of increasing your metabolism through strength will result in burning calories, even at rest.

Jenni Rivett reached an international audience when she became Princess Diana's personal trainer. She has also worked with many celebrities, has appeared on GMTV with Lorraine Kelly and has written for numerous publications including the Daily Mail. Her fitness video, Figure it Out, was the best-selling fitness video in 1999.
