 Rating:  - Clear, Simple Format....Mostly for BeginnersI admit....curiousity about one of Hollywood's top trainers to the stars prompted me to read this book.

Just my opinion, but-I am only giving 2 stars because I feel this book is very basic and serves as a "start up" to an exercise program. I would strongly recommend this book for the person looking to start out and get into a fitness routine. It is very well written, great sense of humor and an overall very easy read. He covers 13 basic exercises that he feels are all you need for a fitness routine-and he explains spin off variations for each-I would agree these ... Read More
