What our customer's say!

"Simple, Easy-to-Follow Work-Out Plan", My wife and I are now half way through our second 12-week cycle and we have both seen good results. We are stronger, thinner, and healthier than we have been in years. The workout plan is simple, the workouts are relatively short (we do cardio, but the weights only take 30-40 minutes depending on the workout), and they vary in two week cycles to keep you from plateauing. It isn't going to get you huge, but for normal folks it is a great option. I played football in high school and college, so had some experience with weights, but my wife had never lifted. These workouts work great for both of us. Terrific for any skill level (assuming you are not trying to become a body builder). I plan on picking up Vol. II after we finish our current 12 week program.

"No spiral binding", Ok since this was important to me, I'm guessing it is important to others too... so here's the dope. When I take this book along with me to the gym, I'd like to be able to flip the pages pretty easily to figure out what on earth a "lat pulldown" is (I'm a beginner). Once I figure it out, I'd like to flip back and STAY ON my daily planner, so that I can input my progress easily. But the binding of the book makes it impossible to fold at a particular page and this can be SERIOUSLY irritating. I read elsewhere that this book HAS spiral binding, but let me assure you that new books DO NOT have spiral binding. I guess I'm going to have to take it to Office Depot to have the spine cut off (dont even know if this is possible).

Oh by the way, the book really is great for beginners - except for this one pain-in-the-backside flaw.

"An excellent, very basic start to free wieghts", So I am currently in the middle of the twelve week program outlined in this book, and sticking to it.
This is a really good book if you are interested in starting a mostly free weight program that's basic. This would appeal if - You are just getting started with a gym membership and don't want to spend money on a personal trainer, you are in shape cardio wise but want to diversify, or you are stuck in a rut with weight machines and want to break out. The author includes some basic tips on technique. There are nice logs to chart your progress. That's all. So far, there is no nutrition advice, so if you want that, look elsewhere. This is also a pretty basic plan to start, it builds stepwise, so if you are anything but a beginner, look elsewhere, this book will only frustrate you. For me, I have been impressed enough that I will get volume 2 soon...

"Just Right for Me", I have been going to the gym for more than 3 years now running on a treadmill and once in a great while lifting a few weights when the gym was very empty. I honestly did understand the basic lifts prior to joining the gym but I really didn't have a total easy to follow program. I'd buy training magazines but I always was left with was this for beginners or someone who has lifted for years. This book is great for beginners or those who are unsure as to where to start. Great book, I'm so glad I bought it. I have been using it for 7 weeks now and actually have seen results; I plan on buying his second book once I have finished this one. I do agree with some of the others, this book isn't for someone who has lifted for years with results, nor does he suggest what to do aerobically but again this is weight training workouts that work not running for beginners.

"Truly workouts that work", I had this book before and after recovering from an injory, I decided to purchase the set of the books to get boack to working out safely and sanely. These books are like having a trainer without the outrageous cost.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Why pay for a trainer when you can use this?", This is just what I was looking for. I am quite active and eating what I think of as health so all I was really looking for was a book that gave me the guide of how to survive the iron jungle and this is it. The workouts are fun and I keep looking forward to what I get to do next. And unlike when I was training before I am not over working or getting bored of doing the same workout over and over again. That means that I have been cosistantly training, I am just about done with the 12 weeks and plan on graduating to book II. If you have the motivation and no special needs then give it a try, it's cheap espcially if you compare it to hiring a personal trainer. Buy or borrow the book first and if you don't agree then hire the trainer.

"Waste of money", This book is a rip off. There are very few words on each page compared to real fitness books such as framework, core performance, etc. Very little information as well. This should have cost 1/5 the price of what it did.

"Terse, pragmatic, and immediately useful", This is the one weight-training book you actually need. Unlike its peers, it eschews hype and motivational drivel and cuts right to the chase: what you need to do to build your major muscle groups.

After a brief but comprehensive introduction for newbies, Orvis dives into a program of exercises: three days per week for 18 weeks. The exercises are varied enough to be interesting (with a new program at least every two weeks), and they work your muscle groups evenly. The welcome result is that you don't have to think about what exercises to do on a certain day; instead, you just open the book and begin, with the confidence that you are getting a well-balanced workout. This saves time and eliminates one mental hurdle in going to the gym.

An appendix with photos describes each exercise. This is surprisingly easy to follow. I started with this and no other training and was able to perform all the exercises, with a minimal amount of head-scratching.

Orvis concentrates heavily on freeweights, which I liked (machines, by design, work a single muscle rather than coordinated muscle groups). A final bonus is the choice of realistic models with normal-people physiques (two female and one male; two young and one middle-aged). This is refreshing in and of itself; it also helps you see the exercises undistorted by giant muscles.

In short, this is a weight-training book that concentrates on... weight-training. What a concept. ;) It includes just enough elaboration so you understand what you are doing. The rest is you, and the gym. Good luck!

"Wonderful! Buy this Book!", Greetings,

Perfect for someone new to weight lifting. Simple, clear-cut and motivating! The tracking tools are clear and wonderful. I carry this book with me in my bag and tuck my cardio tracking paper in it. As a 36 year old woman, I never thought weightlifting was right for me - I'm so happy this book proves me wrong!

The absolute best part is that I can eat more of what I want. I was finding that it was nearly impossible to lose or maintain my weight without drastically cutting out calories and increasing my walking to many hours a day. I learned that our bodies lose muscle mass each year - the good news is that we can build it back with this simple program. Finally, the program takes only two hours a week! Well worth the price!

"Excellent Weight-Training Primer", I lifted for years, but had a shoulder operation and was unable to do anything for a couple of years. I knew a lot about weight-training, and designed my own workouts for my own needs (I was a wrestler). But coming back into the game I knew I would need something that clearly told me what to do, and when to do it. This was necessary because it is really hard to get in the habit of weight-lifting, especially when you have plenty of other stuff going on.
This book does exactly what it is designed to do: provide clear routines, with instructions and pictures for performing exercises correctly. Even those of us who have been athletes for years can benefit from this, because it is quite easy to lose control of your form in an attempt to move to heavier weights more quickly. This book will help you get into the routine and make progress, which is the best you can ask for from a book. The rest comes from within.
