Summary: Punk Rock Aerobics
Review: This book is totally original, innovative,and fun to read. I'm a mom in LA where there is a gym on every corner flouded with the unrealistic woman. Punk Rock Aerobics is refreshing and awesome for a person like myself who is uncomfortable joining in with the "norm" but wants to stay fit and healthy and have fun doing so.

Summary: So much more than I expected-
Review: This book rocked my world! It's hilarious and inspiring from cover to cover. This is way more than another lame exercise book, it's the inspiring story of how how two flabby fitness-phobes turned thier fears inside out and spit in the face of an oppressive fitness industry.
The work out is killer, and when your done, if your abs aren't sore from the "Sid -Ups" they'll be sore from laughing.
This book will make you want to get off your ass and change your life.
These chicks rule!

Summary: I like it very much!
Review: This book was hard to put down. The pictures are adorable (especially of Clint Conley!) and the interviews kept me reading ahead. It made me want to start doing aerobic exercises again, having shunned them for years due to the creepy workout culture. Big credits to Hilken and Maura for spreading the word that you don't have to spend a pile of money to be fit or buy into a bulls**t philosophy about punk or a choke down a corporate spin on health. I am also relieved to know that there is a class I can take that plays the music I like where I won't feel like a Bally's reject. I will recommend this book to all my friends.

Summary: I love it!
Review: This is a funny, well written book. The exercise advice is sound. I've been a gym-goer on and off most of my life, and steadily for the past two and a half years. I love the bricks for weightlifting. I'm going to stick with dumbbells, but that's mostly because bricks are too light for me now.

I have to take an mp3 player to the gym so that I can do cardio to Siouxsie & the Banshees and the Replacements. How cool it must be to have a whole class of dancing to the Ramones and Television! I'm dying to start my own class, although I'm not sure the attendance will be very high in the deep south.

And if you buy this book for no other reason, J Mascis demonstrating one of the butt exercises is worth the price. Buy this book.

Summary: Great Attitude, Killer Music, Fun Moves
Review: This is a totally enjoyable book. The music is 'core, and the exercise stuff is perfect for the impatient and out-of-shape. Check out the photos. They show off easy moves that even a spazz (like me) can do, but they are also HILARIOUS (go ahead, try and find ONE straight face). "Punk Rock Aerobics" screams FREEDOM, from health clubs, from annoying money-beat dance grooves, but mostly from your own heaving lungs and lazy ass. These sisters ROCK!

Summary: For the anti-gym bunny in all of us...
Review: Traditional aerobics classes annoyed and intimidated me. The thought of being surrounded by gym bunny types while listening to bad music for an hour or so horrified me. Then came PRA. I *heart* PRA. It's weird and fun and kicks your ass everytime in a good way.

While there's nothing like going to a real PRA class, the book does a good job of demonstrating the moves used in class. The stories and pictures in the book are hilarious too. More importantly, the sound exercise advice they give is realistic. They don't expect you to become a hardbody, but they do encourage you to get moving in your own way. Can't get more DIY than that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Punk Rawk Aerobics
Review: Why hasn't someone thought of this before? What an amazing concept. An aerobic workout to really great music! No more techno musak and bimbos in thongs. Grab your crusty punk T-shirt and turn up the music.... really loud! The only thing better than doing the work out in the book is joining Maura and Hilken at an actual Punk Rock Aerobics class!
