Book Reviews of The S Factor: Strip Workouts for Every Woman
Book Review: Fabulous!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical about buying this book and trying the workout. I thought it would turn out to be another trendy, fad workout that I'd try for a couple of weeks and toss aside. Not so at all! Kelley has done an excellent job of explaining the movements and exercises included in the book, especially considering how hard it can be to learn from pictures rather than an instructor. I suppose I may have found it easy to learn because I've had some dance training, but I've practiced with a few friends and they've managed to pick it up easily. I've been working with the book for a couple of months now and practice every single night. I just love it! I can completely see a difference in my body, flexibility and level of comfort with myself. I feel like a new person. I'm definitely going to get the video as well so I can learn more advanced moves and would love to take classes at her studio one day.Book Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked the workout in the book and I think her explanations of the movements are about as good as you're going to get without having a video in front of you. The workout section is a bit of a pain as the movements aren't listed in order in the book, so the first few times you're going to have to flip back and forth and back and forth. I wasn't sure I wanted to order this book based on most of the other reviews being more a review and history of Sheila Kelly's career, but it's not a bad book at all. If you want to see the moves illustrated better I recommend getting the video, although it doesn't show all of the moves in the book. The workout is a lot harder than it looks and I've found a few muscles I didn't know I had before! You might even find that you want to get a pole of you own. I know I sure do! The pole exercises look to be about the most fun you're going to find in a workout.Book Review: lots of fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a skeptic at first, but this book is pure fun. Those moves aren't as easy as they look, and that's the point--it's a workout! Sheila Kelley does a fantastic job of reminding women that stripping should be about them, and emphasizes the importance of making it your own. I'd give this book 4.5 stars because of that section on pole dancing--and most of us don't have poles to dance with, at least not safely--but I'm definitely intrigued. The most important thing of course is that the exercises really are very enjoyable to do, especially if you get bored easily. Have fun, and thanks Sheila!Book Review: Ok Book, Actual video would be better
Summary: 3 Stars
At first I was really excited about this book. I thought it was an interesting approach to exercising. As soon as I got the book I started reading it and tried to do the moves as they were shown in the book. Unfortunately that didn't go so well. Seeing pictures is one thing but seeing it in up close and in person is something completely different. In my opinion, to become really good at doing the S factor you would have to have either get a video showing you how to do the moves or take S factor classes with an instructor teaching you step by step. Just having a book with black and white pictures doesn't really do it for me. The book itself was a quick read and had a few good points but overrall it was pretty flat. The book is a good reference but shouldn't be used alone. I would suggest previewing the book FIRST and then decide if you really want to buy it. I would comment on the video but I haven't purchased it yet, but when I do I'll redo this review to tell everyone if the video is worth your money.Book Review: Best Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying exercise, jazzercize, yoga, akido, I happened on Sheila Kelley's "S Factor." I have to say this book was written with me in mind. Turning 50, and wanting to stay agile and sensual, this book combines it all for me. Thank you Sheila Kelley, for making a taboo art acceptable for ordinary me.
