The Jazzercise Workout Book: Your Customized Fitness Program--For Life

Judi Sheppard Missett. Scribner Book Company, $0 (225pp) ISBN 978-0-684-18660-3

Missett is the founder, president and CEO of the multimillion-dollar Jazzercise Corp. and a trained dancer. She undoubtedly knows her stuff, but this padded ""workbook'' contains too much unfocused information, including biography, motivation, nutrition, lifestyle pointers, progress charts. Altogether this is a derivative melange that overwhelms rather than informs. The promotional tonea complimentary coupon for a Jazzercise class is included on an endsheetgrates, and it appears that the workout routine, only one of three sections, would be more effective as a video than in a book.
