Joyce Vedral

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.
