Combat Fat! [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

Combat Fat [Bargain Price]An excellent book! I found this to be the most comprehensive, informative and easy to understand health-related book I've ever read. It refocuses the long-time emphasis away from weight control and calorie counting to the real health problem facing millions of Americans: Fat. It clearly defines the problem and the best way to tackle it. Not only does it include lots of exercises designed to fight fat, it also devotes many pages to nutrition, diet, menus and the psychology of improvingover-all health by reducing the percentage of fat in ones body.It's the kind of book you can continually refer to. It's already helped me look and feel better. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to avoid fad diets and deceptive weight-loss schemes.

Combat Fat! provides an easy-to-follow, straightforward method of diet and exercise that uses body fat percentage, rather than body weight, as the leading indicator of health and wellness.

Combat Fat! provides critical information on how to "eat within the system" by choosing proper foods-even when it's fast food. Readers will learn to decipher food labels to avoid common mistakes and misconceptions. Detailed basic workout plans that are designed for the average man or woman comprise the Combat Fat! exercise program, with explanations given for three different intensity levels of weight training and cardiovascular exercise. The exercises require minimal equipment and can be followed at home. Americans can end their unhealthy obsession with weight loss by focusing on healthy body fat loss.

The Lean Look: Burn Fat, Tone Muscles, and Transform Your Body in Twelve Weeks Using the Secrets of Professional Athletes (Paperback) Review

The Lean Look: Burn Fat, Tone Muscles, and Transform Your Body in Twelve Weeks Using the Secrets of Professional AthletesAs pointed out, getting in shape could cost you a bit of money between the equipment and maybe a gymmembership.But so will a first heart attack or a lifetime of prescription medicine.If interested in avoiding as much as possible those outcomes I would not hesitate in buying "The Lean Look".The workouts are tailored for either a beginner or advanced and would require a modest commitment of time and progress from simpler to more challenging workouts in 3 phases.Many exercises can be done with no weights or a modest set of weights. If cost is an issue, I'd recommend a membership at the YMCA if you have one available. I finally bought just a few used weights and an adjustable bench from a resale shop ($150 for both). This replaced my first set of weights I bought from a garage sale ($15). Seniors on fixed incomes may find this still a challenge, but it doesn't detract from the solid recommendations for a daily exercise commitment, smart food choices (grandpa was right, if it wasn't around 100 years ago, it probably isn't good for you)and if you desire, supplements that have been shown to improve your health and workout.I was impressed with its evidenced based approach.At least check the book out at your library and see for yourself.This is a very solid book.In fact, I'm off to the gym right with my copy.

Product Description:

Achieve the lean, fit look of a professional athlete in just twelve weeks with this straightforward fitness plan.

New studies are confirming what Paul Goldberg has already observed in his high-profile clients: getting leaner-not just thinner-is the single most important change that we can make to feel and look our best. What many Americans struggle with today is known as normal weight obesity: normal body weight, but high body-fat percentage, which can lead to serious health problems. Now Goldberg has developed an effective plan to lower body fat by eating the right foods and building muscle.

The twelve-week Lean Look program requires no fancy equipment, takes thirty minutes a day, six days a week, and can easily be done at home. Goldberg shows how to add foods to your diet that promote muscle development, cut back on foods that encourage fat storage, time your meals for optimal nutrition, and exercise to burn fat. With over 100 photographs, a Lean Look journal, body-fat tables, and a four-week meal plan, The Lean Look is a straightforward guide to getting the sculpted, athletic body you've always wanted.

Fitness Nutrition Special Dietary Needs [Paperback] Review

Fitness Nutrition Special Dietary Needs [Paperback]I bought this book to help me with people that have diet challenges.I have learned a lot and it hasreally helped me.I am glad that I purchased this book.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Fitness Nutrition Special Dietary Needs [Paperback]

Product Description:
As physical activity becomes increasingly popular, the diversity of active participants is greater than ever. Professionals working with active clients have an appreciation for the fact that many of their clients face unique dietary challenges. Fitness Nutrition for Special Dietary Needs is the first book to deliver state-of-the-art nutrition information pertaining to a variety of these special populations with distinctive dietary needs.

This easy-to-use reference provides scientifically based nutrition guidelines for a wide range of physically active clients--including vegetarians, pregnant and menopausal women, children and adolescents, older adults, people with diabetes, and participants in weight-restricted sports. Written in a straightforward manner, Fitness Nutrition for Special Dietary Needs is ideal for athletic trainers and personal trainers. It allows them to guide clients in proper eating for optimal exercise performance, and it recognizes when a client needs to be referred to a registered dietitian. The text may also be used as a quick reference for nutritionists and dietitians and as a valuable resource for those who exercise competitively, for health and fitness, or just for fun.

The following are some of the text's useful features:

    50 figures, tables, and special elements that you can photocopy and give to patients or clients to ensure they follow your suggestions--including examples of poor versus better carbohydrate choices, the Motherwell Pregnancy Food Pyramid, and the healthy effects of certain fats
    12 real-life case studies from guest dietitians to illustrate how the material can be applied in a variety of settings
    Sample meal plans and an appendix of alternative food choices that you can photocopy so you can design individualized plans for patients or clients and teach them how to adapt the plans to accommodate personal tastes and needs
    Exercise guidelines for specific populations to assist you in prescribing appropriate exercise for each person's condition and stage of life
In addition, the reference is valuable to coaches and sports medicine physicians in their efforts to provide sound dietary advice to both noncompetitive exercisers who want to stay fit and competitive athletes who want to achieve optimal performance. The text contains practical guidelines for addressing the needs of children who exercise and play sports as well as the needs of overweight athletes and exercisers in weight-dependent sports--an area often overlooked in sport nutrition books.

Physical therapists who work with the geriatric population will also find the resource useful because it will bring them up to date on meeting the nutrition and exercise needs of older adults as they progress through the physiological changes that come with aging. Psychiatrists will use the practical information to ensure proper counseling, healthy nutrition, and appropriate exercises for patients with eating disorders and disordered eating.

There is no better resource for anyone who needs to understand scientifically based nutrition guidelines for a wide range of physically active people. Fitness Nutrition for Special Dietary Needs explains nutrition guidelines for unique populations and also helps you prescribe a healthy diet appropriate to each client's condition and stage of life to ensure they achieve optimal performance and stay fit.

Impress The World With Your Body in Seven Days (Hardcover) Review

Impress The World With Your Body in Seven DaysI came upon this book by accident. I had just lost lots of weight doing the Atkins diet, which I do not recommend as your cholesterol will shoot sky high! The author lives near me ( I don't know him) so I thought I would look at the book. I ended up buying it for its simplicity and clear focus. It certainly is practical, entertaining and easy to follow. The suggestions on eating, exercise and meditation are clear ideas that anyone can follow. i was amazed to find that I actually have been doing much that is in the book.
This book is a great coffee table book that you will pick up and utilize. I gave my copy to a friend who needed it, so I guess I will have to go to the store and get another one or purchase one here on amazon. Thanks Dave for a nice book.

Weight Loss Salvation: How Real People Lose Weight and Keep It Off, and How You Will Too [Hardcover] Review

Weight Loss Salvation: How Real People Lose Weight and Keep It Off, and How You Will Too [Hardcover]I have been a follower of Stuart McRobert and his books on weight training and fitness for years now. His "underground" appeal and almost cult-like following of fitness enthusiasts gives him the traction necessary to blow the lid off what is the "great sham" of the modern fitness industry. I got an advanced copy of Weight-Loss Salvation and I was at first curious about his teaming up with Bradley Cailor, a virtual unknown in the health and weight-loss industry as Stuart usually prefers to fly solo. But the result is a successful collaboration between the obscure Cailor and the iconic McRobert, as the book is simply incredible. McRobert and Cailor give a virtuoso performance by presenting down to earth facts and narrating the real life drama of how people can "really" lose weight. It also reveals the tragic scams that companies use to play on people's vulnerabilities to get them to spend money on worthless programs, supplements, and what Cailor calls "Snake Oils." Not only will the reader find out how to really lose weight, the reader will also learn why the weight-loss industry is a multi-billion dollar business. You won't find photos of models, Hollywood stars, nor other near-perfect people who never had a weight problem professing his principles or lauding the benefits of the program. This is a real-life, real-world manual on weight loss. His principles are grounded in science and spoken by someone who has been there. Cailor has been obese, and has shed the weight, but not after first trying and failing with the myriad of scams and ill-informed programs out there. Find out how he finally did it by reading the book. I myself do not have a weight problem, but as a health enthusiast and fellow published writer, I couldn't resist the pull of this book and I learned many new things myself.

Product Description:
Did you ever wonder how people really lose weight and keep it off?
Co-author Bradley Cailor always did. From 30 years of yo-yo dieting Brad had regained over 600 pounds of fat, but he always wondered why his diets failed.
WEIGHT-LOSS SALVATION reveals what Brad learned from 30 years of experimenting with diet plans and pills, and from 25 years of researching weight-loss. His research included interviewing hundreds of successful, real-life dieters, and learning what worked for them.
Brad then applied what he had learned, shed 114 pounds of fat over one continuous stretch, and kept it all off. He then collaborated with Stuart McRobert the author of several books on exercise and health that are renowned for their sincerity, practicality, and trustworthiness. Together, Cailor and McRobert have written an extraordinary book on weight-loss.
You may want to lose just a few pounds, or perhaps you want to lose over 100 pounds. Once you apply this book s guidance you ll shed weight readily just like Brad and his hundreds of real-life dieters did.
For everyone who wants to lose weight regardless of age or gender the guidance in this inspirational book is complete, clear, practical, and effective. And it s comfortable and enjoyable to apply, and thus sustainable over the long-term to produce the required weight-loss and then keep it off.

The Female Body Breakthrough: The Revolutionary Strength-Training Plan for Losing Fat and Getting the Body You Want (Paperback) Review

The Female Body Breakthrough: The Revolutionary Strength-Training Plan for Losing Fat and Getting the Body You WantI have read and admired Rachel Cosgrove since reading New Rules of Lifting for Women and bought a subscription to Women's Health when I saw her name begin to appear regularly. Her new book is very solid: well-researched nutritional advice, common sense and rational approach to health and fitness, and full of useful photographs and descriptions. The reason I subtracted a star I think may be attributed to her editors rather than the author herself. I enjoy reading Ms. Cosgrove because she's smart, reasonable and walks the walk. I do not read her because she's a woman. I "trust" the advice of people who know what they are talking about because they're educated, well-researched and respectful of their audience. Their chromosomal make-up doesn't usually factor in for me. I don't know if this makes me an anomaly, but someone on Ms. Cosgrove's team felt it important that the reader understand that she gets women because we share body parts.

By the end of the second chapter, I was twitching every time I read the word "girl", "feminine" or a double-dose of exclamation points used to stress the fact that she's fun! friendly! and you don't have to sacrifice femininity to be strong! I found myself skimming sections and actually felt like I was betraying Ms. Cosgrove's hard work in creating what is, in fact, a solid health and workout plan. I lost 75 pounds following the guidance she and her husband set out in New Rules and was looking for her advice on getting to the next stage. I appreciated the fact that some issues that are unique to women (i.e. hormones) were in their own chapters and given the time they deserve. However, I wish they had dialed back the "sisterhood" factor to a 6-7 instead of a 10. Well, at least the cover isn't pink. . .

Your Body Revival: Weight Loss Straight Talk [Paperback] Review

Your Body Revival: Weight Loss Straight Talk [Paperback]For those of us sadly discovering middle age seems to also mean extra inches and unwanted pounds, this new book, "Your Body Revival" by famed bodybuilder and fitness expert Dave Draper is a godsend. Anyone familiar with either Draper himself, a consummate sixties bodybuilder who quickly ran through the pantheon of available titles by winning Mr. America, Mr. Universe and Mr. World to become famed as the blond bombshell, or with his unusual gifts as a writer as displayed in previous books such as "Brother Iron, Sister Steel" ... , this new offering of "Your Body Revival" is no great surprise. Indeed, for the mature fitness enthusiast unable to find adequate relevant personal guidance in mass circulation magazines that are more exclusively geared to the needs of younger athletes, this latest book is a unique and valuable offering that presents a plethora of suggestions that help both a more mature fitness enthusiast as well as a younger neophyte to manage his or her way toward specific physical goals.
Draper is one of those rare souls who is more interested in making a contribution to the sport by helping the everyday guy with his or her training issues than he is than with training potential bodybuilding stars for the posing platform. Not that Draper does not coach bodybuilders, for he surely does, but to date his main focus in his books has been more directed with helping "everyman" to strive for personal excellence. And it is this strain of thought that runs so memorably and helpfully through the chapters of this tome, as well. Draper clearly points the reader in the right direction, motivating and stimulating him or her with the voice of experience, probing at old fallacies and false promises, and summarizing, in concise and clear language, what the sound, basic nutritional facts are for the more mature athlete.
In doing so, he also provides a simple recipe or regimen for the athlete, one that will provide a maximum of lean muscle mass and which will also capitalize on fat loss at the same time.In this short book, big Dave emphasizes the "vital importance of muscle and bodybuilding", and even provides sample workout routines designed to reach these goals.And the book contains nuggets of useful information for all readers, regardless of their own circumstances or fitness level. In fact, in reading the book, you will quickly become amazed by the breadth of knowledge Draper applies to the subjects under discussion. It is obvious to even a casual reader that the book is carefully researched and meticulously written. Then again, one would hardly expect any less from the original blond bombshell, and a guy who brushed shoulders with everyone from George Eiferman to Steve Reeves to Larry Scott to Arnold Schwarzenegger to Tony Curtis to the late Sharon Tate.
In his introduction, Draper describes the sixties bodybuilding experience as being a time of relative innocence, before it became a mainstream fitness activity, and before it became corrupted by big power and big money, and it is that kind of personal ethos of seeing physical culture as a meaningful way of life and as a natural set of activities for someone interested in living a natural and healthy lifestyle that comes through here and makes this book so worthwhile. Like "Brother Iron, Sister Steel" before it, and like the many more books that we readers hope will follow, this is a book to be read and savored as words of carefully gathered experience, as words of training wisdom from the most gracefully aging bodybuilder of the 20th century.Dave Draper has become a quiet legend for those of us who matured in the shadow of his many accomplishments, for he is a guy who always managed to walk with a singular dignity and purpose, someone who never sold out to the more crass and commercial forms of strength sports "entertainments" we so often see in today's publications. This book gives us the honest information we need to strive more successfully toward our own realistic physical fitness goals. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Weight Training Workouts that Work [Paperback] Review

Weight Training Workouts that Work [Paperback]I had been weight training for about two and a half years before purchasing this book. I've tried numerous routines over that time - some I've found online, some I pulled from magazines and books - and I usually get bored after a couple months, so I wanted to try Orvis' technique.
First off, be aware that this book is designed for the entry-level lifter. It assumes you either (a.) seldom/never lift free weights or (b.) have been out of lifting for a while. This book is perfect for that gym-goer who is afraid of leaving the Nautilus/cardio areas of the gym.
It starts you off relatively slow with total body workouts and by the second month has you working a more typical bodybuilding schedule grouped by muscle area. The schedule has you working out three days a week, and most workouts can be completed in about 30-45 minutes assuming you don't have to wait for any machines/benches.
Orvis doesn't cover cardio or nutrition. While that would be a nice addition, the book never makes the pretense of being a comprehensive fitness book - it solely delivers weight training workouts.
What I enjoyed most about Orvis' plan was the all-inclusive workout style. When so many programs tout one or two methods of lifting (pyramid, inverted pyramid, super sets, drop sets, etc.), he covers every one of these, rotating through different training styles every couple of weeks. The lifting variety will keep the program interesting and will also prevent your muscles from growing accustomed to a single routine and plateauing. Having worked out for some time, I was impressed when my muscles were sore after starting the super set training week.
The main problem I found was that Orvis' program sometimes overlooks certain muscle groups for an entire week. Often I found myself adding a bicep curl, French curl or calf lift to the week's schedule because the book overlooked it. I can see overlooking secondary muscles for a week, but not biceps or triceps. Doing bench presses or lat pulldowns won't give my arms a sufficient workout for an entire week.
Overall, I found the book to be great. It's very portable and I've recommended it to a few folks I've met at the gym who are stuck in "Nautilus Land." I would recommend sitting down at the beginning of the week, looking over the schedule, taking a mental inventory of which muscles you will be working on and compensating if any certain group is overlooked. His workouts tend to be a little more oriented toward lower body development, so you may find yourself adding some upper body sets on occasion.
Orvis' workouts are limited to just the major (common) lifts. If you're more than just a beginning weight lifter, I would strongly recommend purchasing "Strength Training Anatomy" or "The Encylopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" in addition to this book so you can get a better idea of what alternate lifts you can do to better work certain muscle groups or add more variety to your time at the gym. When paired together, I actually found this program to be great once I got past the first month. The super set/drop set/pyramid weeks are a blast.
I would love to see Orvis publish a book oriented toward bodybuilders who have more time to devote to lifting and require more comprehensive muscle training.
