Summary: Pretty good, BUT...
Comment: First, the good: The information is well laid out, and it provides a comprehensive overview of fitness, including weight training and cardiovascular exercise. Everything I've read seems to agree with popular knowledge these days of how-to.
The not-so-good: It's written (in my opinion) on an eighth-grade level. I understand trying to appeal to a mass audience, but I appreciate instruction that doesn't patronize me. The typos and grammar really need work, but I can generally overlook that.
The 14-day body sculpting workout calls for chest presses and tricep extensions the first day and shoulder presses the second day. Wouldn't shoulder presses done the day after chest and triceps exercises overwork the triceps? Probably a minor point, but I'd have like to seen that addressed.
The bad: What bothers me are the references to websites that imply some kind of support, whether in the form of media, discussion groups or email--when in fact it's all about selling you more stuff.
[...] and [...] are the same site. The links that aren't broken ALL redirect to a shopping site, getfitnow.stores.yahoo.net with the default page of the Top 20 Most Popular Items.
[...] redirects to hugorivera.net, a site that's short on substance. It apparently hasn't been updated since March/April 2008. However, click on any purchase link and you're redirected to [...], another sales site.
So any fresh News and Tips, any Discussion Groups, those seem to have disappeared. But by god, those sales pages are chugging along!
At least these guys could have kept the web references current and active, or not have put them in the book in the first place. Oh well.
I still recommend the book with accompanying DVD. There is a lot of useful information inside; just overlook the fact it's not written toward us older guys in our 40s.

Summary: excellent
Comment: This book is a must have if you are serious about good nutrition and getting into shape. After 4 weeks of following their nutritional guide and their workout guide, I am in as good of shape as I was while in my early 20's as an airborne ranger in the military.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Book
Comment: This is a great book to get started in the gym. My husband and I bought these books to get some ideas for workouts. You can cater it to your own needs or you can follow their routine.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book for Starters
Comment: Great book for beginners. Outlines a bit of nutrition, good explanations of exercises, avoids requiring professional equipment, and gives some good startup workout plans.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Extremely informative
Comment: This book is a must have if you're really trying to get into shape. The detailed exercise descriptions help even more than I thought they would. The workout plan's are fantastic and I follow them regularly. The nutrition section was informative but the diet plans given seem a little excessive. If you are truly trying see dramatic results in the shortest amount of time, they might work, but i couldn't see using them forever. I would recommend this book to anyone that is serious about weight training, whether rookie or veteran.
