Qualifications: Joyce Vedral is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. Her workout books and DVDs have sold over a million copies.

Personal History: Joyce, a PhD in English Literature, taught in the New York City school system, grades K-12, and then became a professor of English Literature, teaching on the college level. As the years went by, the pounds packed on until she began to be embarrassed to stand in front of her class. After trying many failed diets and workout plans, she consulted with bodybuilders and experimented with their techniques, reinventing them for “real people” (specifically women, then later for men). Shortly thereafter, she became a certified personal trainer and later, put her secrets into book, video and DVD form.

Workout Philosophy: Joyce Vedral once told CA: "I write about fitness—physical and mental. All of my books are about empowering: the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind. I approach the problem from both directions, whichever helps first; it doesn't matter. Get in shape first and then your mind will follow, or get your mind in shape, and then your body will follow. In this sense, all roads lead to Rome!

Success Story: I adore Dr. Joyce Vedral! She has a great sense of humor and gives genuine encouragement and support throughout the workout. The exercises are powerful yet simple to follow (which is ideal for me - I can't stand routines that demand aerobics/jumping up and down!!) Every exercise Joyce presents has slow burning reps that really do provide results. I lost 8lbs in one week from using the "Just Abs" and "Just Arms & Thighs" DVDs.
