The Men's Health Big Book: Getting Abs: Get a Flat, Ripped Stomach and Your Strongest Body Ever--in Four Weeks

Have you read any of the men's health magazines?Do you have a rough idea of what you need to do from the internet but not got round to starting?yes to either of the above, then wouldn't rush out to buy this.Much better heading to the gym and putting into practise what you already know. :-)Note: It doesn't work well in a kindle, the links pointing you to different chapters become confused and checking out the exercises and sub exercises and then skipping back to the start of the main days group and it stops keeping track of you meaning you have to go back to the main menu find where you where and start again.

Very good informative book a must have

The book is well ilustrated and can do good help to anyone that would like to have abs. Well there also bad sides, some of the exercies are like almost the same, just presented by difrent people

Hired a personal trainer at a local gym to help get me started. I bought this for the nutritional guide; however, everything in the book is what the trainer also showed me. If you follow the book or even close, you'll see results.

"Men's Health Getting Abs" is a complex book addressing a complicated important topic - flat, 6 pack abds. If you are looking for a quick fix, go elsewhere. If you really want flat, sculpted abs the information in this book, if applied over months will give you flat 6 pack abds and an overall greatly improved body, health, and appearance. Though well written and well edited, this is not an easy read. The program is complicated and the route is sinuous. There are many bad habits, much bad information that need to be overcome. There are too many get fit quick schemes out there competing for the dollars. This is not one of them. Adam Bornstein does show how diet, exercise, and life style choices intertwine to either make us obese, or lean and trim. Adam Bornstein gives us the information to achieve optimal health, fitness and appearance. It just requires dedicated changes in diet, life style, and exercise habits to achieve.Adam Bornstein spends lots of pages dispelling exercise and diet myths, and replacing them with solid information. He spends lots of time directing the reader to multiple diet approaches, even addressing the current no gluten fad with both admonitions as to dangers and advice as how to avoid gluten. The exercise pages are well written with excellent pictures. Included are numerous hints as to proper form and technique that will take months to properly digest and apply. There are many programed workout suggestions though out the book, making the application of the concepts and the exercises easier. There are even many more programed workout plans at the end of the book.At first I was surprised to see the non core exercise sections. Then I realized Adam Bornstein is directing us to the only way to achieve and maintain flat six pack abds - total balanced life style, diet and exercise changes in our lives. This book is much more about total health and real fitness than just about abs.My only complaint about the book is the get-fit-quick promise on the cover. There is no way the average computer jockey, couch potato is going to get a "flat, ripped, stomach" in four weeks. It's a marketing gimmick. It's an insult to the quality of the book hidden behind the cover. Adam Bornstein dispells it in the book.

This is a great book! If you are able to diligently follow the workouts and the diet guidelines, it does work! You can truly get into shape, may be not exactly like the guy in the picture, but close to! You just have to keep repeating the workouts!

I picked up this book thinking it would just be some quick exercises, I was pleasantly surprised it is a full length guide on how to live a healthy, stress-free, fun, active life!Good for guys 16-66Comes with recipes, what to eat, what work-outs to do, how often to do themthis book is great, i love it!

Good info, thanks
