Seriously, this is the ONLY book you need when it comes working out. Short enough but straight to the point. If you are truly willing to develop a work out regimen where you will actually see results, forget all the personal trainers and the talk you hear from others in the gym....James Chan presents to you a book that is straight-forward, no-nonsense, and exactly what you need. Check out his youtube videos if you don't believe me. His own physique shows that he puts his money where his mouth is.

I think that anybody interested in healthy living and training will profit from the information provided in this thin book. It's down to earth, uncomplicated but it outlines the main principles that will help you to achieve visible results. Don't expect anything unheard of. However, if you look for help, experience, simplicity and reinforcement you find that. I am glad that I bought this book.
