I highly recommend this book. I know a lot about fitness and found only one mistake in the entire text (which is that testosterone is a viable option for guys over 40). This book is full of very practical advice and explodes the key broscience out there and backs it up with references.

Ive done a lot of research on how to transform my body and so when I read this....I didn't really learn anything new. But what I loved about it is that its a no brainer. Its all the information you need all in one book.  I was questioning everything I learned on the internet because there are so many different opinions about what you should and shouldnt do when it comes to eating and working out.  I knew what to do...but then I would read something that didn't match what I thought I knew and its so frustrating when you don't understand who is telling the truth or is knowledgable,etc. So I read this book and decided to do everything in it exactly like he says, even though I thought the calories were too low to start a cut on given the information in the book about how to figure that out. I did my cuts before at a higher number but I know now that it must not have been low enough to account for any error in my food tracking. I was about 250 calories under maintanence before and I couldn't drop weight. So I thought hey...Im just gonna listen to this guy and do this and see what happens...he's the one that knows what he's doing not me. :) And I've been losing about 1lb/week now since I started which is awesome.  I didn't want to lose weight at all...I just wanted to lose fat and gain muscle. I don't want the number on the scale to go down.  But this book clearly explains how being at the fat percentage that I am I needed to drop weight (lose fat) for a little while first and then eat more and gain muscle later.  I wasn't getting anywhere before because I was overtraining and wanting to do them both at the same time and you have to pick one to do first. I would recommend this book to beginners and anyone that feels stuck if you're not seeing any change.  There are no quick fixes to change your body....its all about consistancy and slow gradual changes.  I bought the year workout journal by him too and I have been doing what the 2 books combined say to do for 4 weeks now and do not see any changes...but I know im not supposed to see any changes yet....its a slow process and everyone says it takes 12 weeks to see a difference so stick with it until at least then!  I do feel a difference though. I have never been on a cut where Im not hungry and Im not tired or anything. But I feel great and my strength is still going up in my workouts too. It must be the ratios of macros and the eating around your workout thats making the difference. Anyways....I would recommend this book. :)

Absolutely life changing and a must have for anyone who has experienced body issues, obsessive dieting - basically not having a normal way of life any more. After 6 months of doing ALL the work in this book, I have changed the way I eat forever. That says a lot, considering I have lost a lot of weight on my own and felt like I would just have to do the deprive cycle the rest of my life to keep the weight off. This is helping me not only obtain my natural weight by shedding those last 15 lbs, but I no longer have to think about it, or deprive myself. I just eat! Amazing.

I recently read this book, and I have to say if you are a beginner when it comes to health/fitness and bodybuilding then this is a must read. The book offers insight on everything you will encounter when you embark on the journey of bodybuilding. You can follow these tips until you have enough experience to know exactly what works best for you and then make your own adjustments accordingly. From my experience, the book is honest and accurate. If you are serious about changing your body, you will benefit greatly from this book.

I think these workout exercises are what every woman should be working on today if she wants to get the body shes long dreamed about. I am hoping to complete the 12-weeks. Right now its only been some three and a half and my body feels better than ever. Im at a turning point in my life where I just want to work on my fitness goals and never turn back.

The book is an excellent read because its quick and very effective information for just a few dollars. Very well worth the price. Think of it as your personal trainer for 12 months without having to pay hundreds of dollars. This is a wonderful investment that benefits your body and changes your outlook in life.

For those who haven't read it yet, I can tell you a little about it. The first chapter details on the womans butt structure, followed by the gluteal muscle group, and some more interesting bits on how to build these muscles. Its simple, good reading. Then youll get to have the curve enhancing program, followed by the glute-activating program, the squats, that work up those essential muscles to give you the strong, sexy physique all over. These exercises range from easy to more difficult. So youll have to really prep your mind and eat right for the energy youll be needing. Follow the nutrition recommendation the author provides in the third chapter. Yes, it takes strife and a lot of dedication, but if you focus on your goals, youll make it. I highly recommend every woman to read this book. Good luck to you!

As the CEO of Bodybuilding.com, I've been able to see tens of thousands of amazing body transformations in the last 12 years. What made successful people successful? What was different about them compared to the people that didn't transform? Studying this has been part of my life's work and passion.

And everything I've learned is in this easy-to-read book, written by the amazing Kris Gethin.

The truth is that everybody knows they need to exercise and eat right, but very few people actually do it consistently over time. The way you look is simply the external view of your daily habits and behaviors. Fitness is 90% psychological.

So how do you get motivated and STAY motivated? This book shows you how, and you'll be surprised by how simple it really is once you have the tools to succeed. These "tricks" have not only helped me stay in shape, they've also motivated me to read one non-fiction book per week, get my pilot license, parent my kids with purpose, stay dedicated to my wife (my high school sweetheart) and create a $200 million business that's profitable... and still growing fast.

Also included is a full 12-WEEK TRANSFORMATION PLAN based on what really works. This isn't some fad diet or miracle workout plan that some random "expert" created (so he can sell it to you for only three payments of $19.99), this is a program based on what Kris has seen work for hundreds of thousands of people on BodySpace, a free social network for people that are into fitness. It's the first crowd-sourced plan.  There is no question that it works.

Stop making excuses. Stop depending on the mythical idea of "willpower". Body By Design will help make your goals a reality in record time and you'll only wish you had read it sooner!

This book is life changing.  I read this book and finally had someone I could relate to.  After years of dieting and even going as far as weight loss surgery, I have still struggled with my weight.  After reading this book and following the plan for the first 8 weeks it makes me question all the years of torture I put my body though.  This is truly a life style change, and that used to make me laugh when I heard people say its not a diet its a life style change.  But after going through this change and transformation I am a believer!  I'm only in this for 8 weeks, but I'm down 25lbs. and I feel AMAZING!  No one said it was going to be easy, but this has been a great journey. Thank you for inspiring us Jasinda, and thank you for putting in all the time and effort you do to each and every person who reaches out to you for help.  You rock!

This was a very informitive book, that will help me with the problems I have with not knowing axactly what to do to reshape my body. A lot of us are not what you would call overweight, and going to the gym doing the same thing and not getting the results we see on others. This book lets you know how to reshape your body even if you don't need to loose a lot of pounds.

Mr Birch has done it again. This book takes you deep into building muscle without equipment,using your own body to create a new body you will be proud of. I personally think it's amazing how marlon has took dynamic tenson, and turned it around 360 degrees and created a system that has not been put out in other books before by other authors in regards to selfresistance type training. Highly recomended

Tom Venuto is the guru when it comes to transforming your body.  I had his first version of this book and the new version is even better.  If you are looking for a blueprint for loosing fat and transforming your body, this is the book, and the author, to help you meet your goals!

Worldwide, governments (via taxes) and private institutions spend many millions of dollars on scientific research. This research is published in peer-reviewed journals that only a few percent of the population has the education and training to understand and utilize. Yet, this data is the closest thing our society has to the TRUTH about how to lose fat, build muscle, and look/feel amazing. Finally, Jonathan Bailor, author of Smarter Science of Slim, has translated this information into a book that ANYONE can understand. As a medical professional, I have used this book to change not only my life, but the lives of my patients. Stop wasting your money and chasing your tail and allow this book to guide you toward significant and long-lasting physical and psychological change!
