I have just begun Rachels program using her book. Its just been one week and my whole diet is changed as well as my attitude. I have noticed my legs and thighs are much more firm as well as other areas. I am psyched!

Hey Val – First of all I love, love, love your DVDs !! Feel like you are right there with me…. Second – I want to thank you for all your love and support. You are one in a million and I could never have met my weight and fitness goals without you and the RCR! Finally after years of being embarrassed by my lower body, I felt confident enough this summer to wear shorts in public – you gave me back my sass and self confidence – so thank you… Also, after being stuck for a bit, I wanted to let you know that after 4 week on your new AHB program, I lost an additional 2.5 inches – I didn’t think it possible, but I weighed in at 127 this morning – I am now down a full 20 lbs and almost 26 inches since I started working with you – again, thank you!! Lastly, at 47 I look and feel as good as I did 20 years ago and finally have the lean, sculpted body I’ve always wanted – Love ya Val!!! …. oh, and anyone not into Rachel’s type of workout – checkout Val’s – I’m proof that it works – - -

Alexandra – my Action Hero Babe program is certainly great for fat loss, but…

Out of all of my transformation programs, AHB is the one I would recommend for your situation.

Replacing a tiny bit of body fat with a tiny bit of muscle sounds like exactly what you need to do – which is what AHB is designed to do!

Build, Burn & Sculpt baby!

If you have any specific questions, feel free to shoot them my way.. here or you can email me directly at valerie@valeriewaters.com – I’d be more than happy to discuss.

Erinna – Hi! thanks for you comment.

I made a disclosure statement stating that I do make a very small commission for any purchases made through the links on this page, but believe me – it doesn’t amount to much at all.

Rachel is a great friend of mine and I’ve seen the transformations her clients make.. that’s why I mentioned her book. Not to mention I just love the ‘thermometer jeans’ concept.

Challenging weights doesn’t necessarily mean ‘bulk.’ I have my clients lift ‘challenging’ weights all the time. You just have to know where to draw the line.

Also, “too” bulky for one woman may not be for another. Too is a subjective term. What’s too bulky for you?

Honestly, I just wanted to share the thermometer jeans idea with my readers and help my friend a little bit.

Nothing underhanded going on here, I promise. I stand by everything I write.

I’m tempted to buy the book but like Alle, I don’t need to get smaller, I just need to tighten up and get firmer (particularly in the glutes and glute/ham tie in).

Val, what type of training do you recommend for someone like Alle and me where we’re already the size we want to be but need to tighten and firm up.

I’ve been thinking about your Action Hero program but it seems geared more towards fat loss than for my current goals.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I”m confused – two blogs ago you’re talking about how YES women can get “too bulky” how you train them to de-bulk…and now you’re advocating this book in which Cosgrove is telling women to lift heavy (aka “challenging”) weights. Is it just because you all get a financial perk for anyone who clicks and orders her book from your webpage?

This idea has helped me. I have a six month old baby and I am still working off my baby fat and I can finally fit into my size 4′s and zip them up! I am still working on toning and trying to get firm again with Val’s Action Hero Babe workout!

Nice. But it doesn’t work for me. If I got 2 sizes smaller, I would disappear. I’m already the size I want to be, but not the firmness. My thermometer will be when I am not embarrassed to wear short skirts or shorts.
