Summary: Probably the best physical fitness book for beginners I originally checked this book out of the library along with a few others in order to help me come up with some kind of a plan to get into shape. Once I started reading it though I could not put it down. I read the entire book in one night. It gave me everything I was looking for including plans for weight training, cardiovascular training, dieting, recipes, and more. It even came with a number of worksheets that let me track my progress. It is a great book. The day after I finished the book, I went out and bought a copy. It really does work. Summary: Diet advice is great!! Exercise...not so hot. Here's why... What Bill says about eating properly and drinking water is very insightful, however, I find it hard to believe that anyone has the energy to push themselves for a "Level 10" experience 6 days a week. Don't get me wrong, pushing yourself both aerobically and muscle-wise is the right way to do it, but I'm a healthy 25 y/o and cannot do this more than 4 days per week. Doing 32 sets of weights for 5 different muscle groups in 46 min is not healthy. I did this for the first 3 weeks and suffered from a bout of exhaustion. I actually went to the doctor to get tested for mono! (which came back negative) You need more than 1 day rest per week when lifting weights like that. The only way I can see anybody recovering that fast is if they sleep 12 hrs per day or they're on steroids (which Bill is an authority on, has written advice columns about, and has admitted to using). If you read a bio about Bill Phillips and his rise to fame, you would see that he is a very vain, slick character who is always looking to make a quick buck (as evidenced in this book by constantly telling readers to buy his "MyoPlex" supplements). To recap, I still follow the BFL plan as far as diet advice goes, but the frequency of exercise is not practical. Summary: Exersize This book has a lot of good information and it is easy to understand. It is a good book for any level you are at. Beginners can easily read this and come up with diverse and safe exersizes to do. Summary: Great book Bill Phillips breaks down exercising to its basics. He clarifies many myths and teaches you about the right mindset, right eating habits, and right exercise routine you should follow. I followed his program - kindof. I would say I followed it to 80% accuracy. Also I didn't buy the shakes recommended in this book, I bought another off the shelf protein shake. I felt more energetic and stronger than I have in a long time. Still, I think the expectations set by the pictures were a bit too optimistic. Don't buy and follow this book expecting to have such a dramatic change as many of the pictures would show, but do expect to lose fat, gain muscle, and feel much better inside and outside. Enjoy. Summary: Excellent when you have perspective and knowledge The book makes lots of references to supplement shakes, but no-where does it say you "have" to have them as you'll be eating healthily through the day to get your required vitamins and minerals. My mid-afternoon snack is usually a couple of handfuls of a nut/seed/berry mix at 5p.m. with a glass of water or milk to keep me going until I get home at 8 to do my training followed by my main meal. No hunger and it's all tasty, textured, natural goodness I'm putting into my body So far I'm on week 5 and my weight has gone up, my jackets are getting tight around my shoulders and my trousers falling off. Return of the 'V' :o) My grocery bill has dropped as I now buy less random rubbish and I also make batches when I cook and freeze the extra portions to re-heat later on which is again more time efficient during the week Someone said that their social life suffered as they couldn't go out for meals with people and stay on the food plan. You can always find something on a menu that isn't junk, so there's no excuse ;o) Even if it's a 'posh' restaurant then tell them you need a low fat meal 'for medical reasons' and the chef will happily alter the content to suit. That's their job and they usually enjoy the challenge :o) If you've never trained before then it's worth joining a gym and investing in a couple of sessions with a personal trainer. Tell them what you are doing and get them to show you perfect technique for your exersises. This will be the best investment you will make in your transformation as, without perfect form you're limiting your results and may risk injury So don't delay. Do it .... do it now |
