Book Reviews of The Yoga FaceliftBook Review: You will benefit Summary: 4 Stars
This otherwise great book fails to get five stars for only 2 reasons: 1) the neck exercises didn't produce noticeable results for me personally (I'm going to try Carole Maggio's book for that reason alone); and 2)the author dismisses the importance of aerobic exercise, and in fact, calls it aging.
That may be true for aerobic enthusiasts who overdo it, but imho, it's a critical component of good health and looking youthful. I'm 47 and still get carded so I vouch for the importance of exercise.
Having said that, I started noticing areas of my face that I wasn't thrilled with. Lip lines that were getting worse rather than better, lines on the side of my nose, and upper lids that could use some lift.
Bam! Immediate improvement. I agree with some of the other reviewers: it's very cool to have full, voluptuous lips. My eye area is tighter, brighter (no crow's feet whatsoever, but in fairness, I didn't have that many to begin with) and my nose lines (from squinting) are gone. My cheeks are full and my jaw line is tighter.
Why my neck didn't reap the same benefits, I'm not sure. I've been doing these exercises since June 2007 and that area is the least improved.
Just my two cents, hope it helps.
Book Review: a good book Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this after seeing the signs of 50 in the mirror. The book is well done with good illustrations and instructions. I was glad to see several lovely older women in the book instead of perfect 20 somethings. As with all self-help books, it take motivation to do the exercises and see results. Many of the exercise feel good and I felt more relaxed after doing them. Not a reverse button, but maybe a pause for some of the most common signs of aging.
Book Review: lovejazzlovethearts Summary: 5 Stars
This is a "I want to feel good about yourself book" with detailed/informative instructions. A must have for any "age".
Book Review: men can benefit too Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed with Marie's approach, which addresses the concerns I have with most facial exercise programs. Exercise does work, but it has to be the right kind of exercise, and not the sort that causes the skin to wrinkle even more. Since I've begun doing these exercises I have been very happy with the results and changes I see. I have also noticed a marked improvement in my wife's face. Great book to get you thinking about how, if you don't like the way you look, you can become proactive about it.
