I purchased this book initially because of the great resource of exercises contained in the book. But, upon closer examination, I found that not only is there the aerobic and "resistance" training, but Roberts also gives concrete guidelines for diet changes . I think this is a really great book, and the breakfast energy smoothie that he recommends as part of his "detox" plan was Yummy! I wasn't hungry all day!! I am very excited about this book, and about the new body that I'm soon going to have.

This review is from: 90-day Fitness Plan (Paperback)

I don't agree with one of the other reviews, for I believe this book is definately a star among other books. It helps you get started and maintain it all! As a model it was so helpful to me.
It's a good bargain, so try it out. It's Worth it!

This review is from: 90-day Fitness Plan (Paperback)

This book offers a simple, holistic view of weight loss, neatly summarizing one's physical, nutritional, and emotional needs. But be forewarned that the majority of the weight and resistence training exercises require AT LEAST a set of dumbbells and a workout bench. Many require gym machines. And Roberts does not offer any alternative exercises for people who don't belong to a gym, or who lack the funds, space, or inclination to fill their homes with gym equipment. This may not be a problem for "stars", or single people without kids. But for anyone with a full-time job and young children, this is a significant shortcoming. Furthermore, Roberts offers very little detail about how to achieve the nutritional goals he presents to the reader. You will not find detailed recipes here, only recommendations (drink a fruit smoothie for breakfast, eat more greens and fish, etc). On the up side, this book is a fast read, and very nice looking in a coffee table book sort of way, and might serve as a good motivator for anyone embarking on a new year's resolution.
