It tells us how to lose that dreaded (and very unhealthy) tummy fat. And we learned that this "inside-out-body workout" targets the lymphatic system, detoxifying our bodies at the same time. We came away from this book with hope, hope to get rid of our own tummy fat and get healthier at the same time. Off to buy our mini trampolines!
