Summary: Follow this book's program and you will see results
Review: I followed this program for 6 weeks and saw a major difference in the way I fit into my clothes. In fact, I dropped at least 2 sizes. The combination of cardio and weight lifting is very effective and the workouts in this book are great. When I had a question, I e-mailed the author and he got back to me within a reasonable amount of time with his answer. I lost 20 lbs total (within 5 months) and have kept it off. I highly recommend this book. Your body will look great, better yet, you will feel great. Thanks to the 2 authors, Hugo and James.

Summary: One of the best of its type
Review: I've read a lot of fitness/bodybuilding books, and have been training on & off for many years. I think this book is excellent, especially for beginners (but also very handy for experienced lifters too - there's a lot that I *thought* I knew, and was surprised to learn more i.e. super slow reps aren't necessarily the best way to work a muscle).The detailed exercise instructions are by far the best feature of the book, as is the emphasis on commitment and the "mind-muscle connection" (they call it "zone-tone"). There were only a few problems I could see: 1) there are a LOT of typos and spelling/grammatical errors. Although it doesn't affect the excellent training & diet advice, that kind of thing always bothers me, because I think it reflects poorly on the professionalism of both authors and editors. 2) The diet section does not accomodate vegetarians or vegans in any way, and not everyone wants to eat this much chicken & fish, esp. considering all the hormones/antibiotics etc. in them. 3)The customer service is shady. In the Appendix section, it mentions that a companion workout/diet journal is available for purchase on their website, but it is not, I checked. When I called the cust. service phone #, I got voicemail, left 3 mssgs., and no return call. I tried another #, and it was disconnected. I searched all over the internet for this companion journal, to no avail. I even exchanged emails with one of the authors of this book, James Villepigue, but have not gotten any further info. Other than that, I think this book gives excellent, solid workout and nutrition advice. It is not trendy, fly-by-night, low-carb nonsense, or "lose 10 lbs. in a week" stuff. It's very inspiring, and makes you want to hit the gym *consistently*!!!

Summary: Amazing Book
Review: Outside of the Bible and Gone with the Wind, this is the best book I've ever read. It answered all my questions about weight lifting and nutrition. It answers when, how, why, and everything else a novice would need to know. Outstanding book!

Summary: Thanks for helping my family
Review: My husband starting using your men's edition and loved it, so I decided to see if it would work for me and thank you guys because it has! I feel great and look great. The 14 day workout program is a great motivational start and I realized that even if I do not want to go to the gym 7 days a week I can do a lot of the excersises at home. And it has brought my husband and I closer together. Thank you Hugo and James!

Summary: perfect for fitness "freaks"
Review: I have been working out for 10 years now, since I was 14 years old. I actually started weightlifting around the age of 16 and always tried to vary my workout routinesaccording to different books and fitness magazines to get better results.I was in excellent shape even before I started following this book's routine, but after the advanced 14 day workout routine, I felt sore everyday and I saw my body change--I felt stronger. It's true that the routine is very difficult to do, since it's 5 days a week, and you really do have to make time for this to happen, but hey it's just like anything else in life. hey, if you want to see results, BUY THIS BOOK--It even shows you step-by-step how to perform each exercise. I will be competing in a fitness competion next month and it's all because of Body Sculpting Bible!!!

Summary: Save your money
Review: This book is a total waste of money. After using it solidly for more than 2 months now, I haven't lost any inches or anything. (Not to mention, I've been dieting). I was on the Advanced Plan doing 6 cardio and 6 weight training sessions per week. I practically lived at the gym. This plan takes WAY too long per day, and it doesn't work. I'm off to try something different.

Summary: I hated it!
Review: This book is terrible. First of all, the workout is six days a week. I don't want to spend my life in the gym! There is no reason you have to work out that much! Second of all, there is nothing unique to women in the book. The authors even talk about raising testosterone levels. As a woman, I am definitely not wanting to increase testosterone! I showed this to a trainer and he told me it was the type of workout that men did when they are on steroids. And finally, the workouts have to be done in a gym. If you don't have access to a whole bunch of expensive equipment, forget it. You can't even do the workout (which isn't realistic anyway).
