Shapley Secrets is an exercise program designed for women who have a limited amount of time to workout. The Shapely Secrets kit comes with a weight loss guide, workout DVD, an exercise log, timer and motivational CD to provide a complete program to facilitate your weight loss efforts. The workout program consists of exercises that use a method called "Diametric Resistance" to tone the body by holding a series of timed positions. Shapley Secrets exercises work your face, arms and legs.
History
The Shapley Secrets fitness program was created by 20 years ago by Greer Childers who says she understands the challenges that mothers face when trying to find time to exercise. Childers is a mother of three who claims to have gone from a size 14/16 to a size 4/6 by developing her own workout program. She designed Shapley Secrets to give women an effective workout in seven minutes.
Significance
Shapley Secrets uses a concept called "Diametric Resistance" to stimulate the muscles. Diametric Resistance is a method developed by Childers that involves motionless exercise that involves working one muscle against another, according to DietSpotlight.com. The exercises consist of timed strength holds that are believed to tone the muscles in only a few short minutes per day.
Research
Childers claims that university studies have proven the Shapley Secrets seven minute workouts to be more effective than 30 to 35 minutes of traditional strength training. Childers does not provide citations to back these claims. There is no scientific evidence available on the effectiveness on the Shapely Secrets program.
Methodology
The Shapley Secrets program is believed to provide weight loss results in as little as two weeks. By performing the strength holds that tone your arms, legs and face, you can work your entire body in seven minutes. Childers claims that by following the a healthy diet along with the Shapley Secrets program, you can expect to lose one size and six pounds in the first 14 days.
Considerations
Shapley Secrets provides a short workout for those pressed for time. However there is no scientific evidence to support the program's weight loss claims. The program is not recommended for children or pregnant women. Consult your physician before starting the Shapley Secrets fitness program. The Federal Trade Commission sued Childers in 2003 for falsely advertising a weight loss program.
