I've only followed the diet and exercise routine for about 4 weeks, but have seen a substantial increase in energy. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to jumpstart their routine

I own this book AND LL's Platinum 360 workout that is a couple of years newer than this book. I recommend buying both books and using them together. This Platinum Workout is a workout broken into different "phases" and is more focused on shaping the body. I think all of the phases combined run about 18 weeks, or something close to that. The Platinum 360 is focused on shaping "mind", "body", and "spirit" and is only 8 weeks long.

NOTE: The Platinum 360 is NOT a continuation of this book "Platinum Workout", and can be used without purchasing the Platinum Workout first. Used in combination, the two books give a variety of exercises, demonstrational photos and recipies that are ALL very useful.

BONUS TO LADIES IN THIS BOOK "PLATINUM WORKOUT": Here's why I like the Platinum Workout better than the Platinum 360 for the Ladies....Platinum Workout has a SPECIAL 4 WEEK WORKOUT JUST FOR WOMEN AT THE END OF THE BOOK...HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT HAVE DO DO ALL OF THE PHASES BEFORE THE WOMEN'S WORKOUT IN ORDER TO DO IT. IF YOU'RE A WOMAN....SKIP THE BEGINNING WORK OUTS AND START WITH THE WOMEN'S WORKOUT AT THE END. It foucuses on "toning and tightening", not "bulking up". I have done it for 2 weeks and have lost 6 lbs and seen a difference in my arms and legs already! I am not overweight, so I'm sure someone with more weight to lose would see even more dramatic weight loss results in a shorter period of time.

Hope I didn't confuse you by comparing the 2 books here,...but thought you might like to know the differences and the "perks" to each one.

This is an excellent book with excellent workouts. A must for anyone really interested in improving their body in shape and nutrition. It is also excellent for your mind and soul. Good attitudes and uplifting all over!

I bought this book for my husband because he wanted to have a role model image to use as inspiration. And who better than LL Cool J. This book was perfect for giving instructions on how to do the exercise routines, it had photos of the correct way to work out, there are receipes, and even some pages with words of wisdom and advice. My husband uses this book religiously. It's like his workout bible. And to be honest I don't even mind tripping over it all the time because let's admit LL Cool J is easy to look at. And for all the men out there who look up to him for inspiration and aspire to look as fit as him, well there's nothing wrong with that. So yes, it's worth buying and if nothing else at least just looking at the photos will make you want to get off the couch and get a six pack (and no I don't mean as in beer). Good luck to all the aspiring LL's out there.

This books is very helpful to those people who don't understand or have never really worked out before, or who have no idea what to look for when trying to maintain a healthy diet, but I was looking for a more intense workout book with many different regimes. It's not a bad book, just not what I was looking for.
