The Body Sculpting Bible for ABS: Men's Edition: Featuring the 14-Day AB Sculpting Workout

Despite the title, you don't have to be a fitness freak in order to use this book. Back pain and back disorders are very common with office workers these days, and this book offers some excellent exercises that deal with it. The book itself is about sculpting your ABS, but it acknowledges that the back is an integral part of this process. By following the exercises in this book (first the warmups and then the more strenuous ones), you can strenghten the whole of your waist area, and your back will benefit. The author stresses that the whole body must be exercised, in addition to the ABS exercises; they cannot be performed alone. This holistic approach is a valuable foundation, and continues throughout the book. It is good to have well-reasoned explanations of the theory behind the activities, along with some well-structured 14-day plans. This review is written from the point of view of someone trying to sort out his back, rather than going for a washboard figure. I have found the exercises to be very effective, even when performed lightly. Whatever your goals and physical condition, however, this book offers excellent exercises and exercise plans, which can be adopted to your needs.

I admit that the diet part it lacking, but one search on a search engine can pull up anything you need to know about diets. The workouts in this book range in difficulty, and some you really have to build up to. The pictures and explanations of how to do the exercises are great, and the trainers tips can help you fix some common mistakes you might make. I like how it also goes over working out with gym equipment, medicine ball, an aerobics workout ball, and on the floor. This book is packed with exercises that even if you have a 6-pack it will still make you feel the burn. For people who expect more than this, I cant imagine being able to master all the exercises in this book and being able to do some of the aerobics ball workouts more than 15 repititions. I am already seeing my abs come out, with diet and exercise of course, and without this book I would be stuck in a rut not knowing how to work out all areas of my abdominals.

If you're like me and balk at sit-ups, but serious about working your core muscles, more specifically your abdominals, then this is your book. The author provides insightful details about the mechanics of the muscles as well as providing easy to follow pictures for strength training. The training program (ever increasing in difficulty) is simple to follow and the weekly workouts are integrated enough to avoid burnout of the same 'ol, i.e., ab crunches. This is a well balanced book and is the best abdominal training regime I've seen. Trust me, its good for you!

This book is obviously written by a true fitness GURU! I have tried over and over with many different ab excercises and have failed until now.After only 2 weeks of reading this and following the technique I can see and feel the difference!

I would definitely recommend this book. It presents a solid plan of action for building great abs. Since I have been using it, my midsection is already tighter and my six pack is starting to peek through.Dozens of exercises for home and gym. Great photos so its easy to follow. Detailed workouts for a routine that doesn't get boring. Very up to date. Even includes nutrition guidance.It's a great deal and belongs on any guy's shelf who wants to look his best. Recommended to all.
