A Flat Stomach ASAP

Ellington Darden tells the truth about his subject: you can't get a tight, muscular waistline from doing just a few minutes of abdominal exercise a day. (This from a guy who has actually hawked an ab-training device on infomercials.) In Darden's book, ASAP stands for "awareness, science, application, and persistence," and his program promises that, if you work really hard, you'll see results in six weeks. That doesn't sound like much of a promise, but considering how many people work out for months--if not years--and don't see any results, Darden's book is a dash of welcome hope and reality.
