But YOU should get the inside scoop on what this book is all about WHILE he's got his big sale on (in this case, he's offering a $5 trial of the full package - limited time only, that type of thing). Doesn't make as much sense to review it when it's not on sale and you're not getting hit with ads for it. So rather than wait, we figured we'd give you the opportunity to learn what this book is all about so you can make the most informed decision possible while you can get the best deal on it if you DO decide to grab it. Nuff said... --- Learn the Secret Behind the "Cheeseburgers Every Day" Fat Loss Strategy... Sounds like a load of garbage, right? Well, it's one of the claims Todd makes on his website about his new book "How to Get Six Pack Abs". And this type of statement gives you an idea of how Todd writes...very entertaining...very much "against the grain" type of approach to training and fat loss. And also VERY effective. On a side note, I looked at Todd's "cheeseburger every day" fat loss trick, and you know what? It totally makes sense. I can definitely see it being a very valid dieting approach. Plus, you can apply his technique to pretty ANY "bad" food you like to eat. It's all in how you look at things. And that's what sets THIS book apart from every book for getting six-pack abs. The first thing you'll notice when you open the book is that Todd takes a very "common-sense" approach to training for six-pack abs. Like any knowledgeable trainer, he'll tell you that seeing your six pack is not about training your abs into oblivion...it's about dropping the excess fat that covers up the abdominal area. What About Direct Ab Training For Six Pack Abs? Even though the focus is on overall fat loss, don't think for a second he ignores direct ab training - it's actually the very next section in the book - a great variety of good abdominal exercises and programs to directly hit the abs so you've got something to show off once you lose the excess flab. One thing I found interesting was his take on interval training and his explanation of the DANGEROUS truth about it. I'm going to spill the beans on this one (I'm sure he won't mind because it's important for everybody to know about this). On the surface, I'm sure you've heard how good interval training can be...how it's overall better for fat loss. Totally true. It just is. It's just HOW some trainers implement interval training with people who aren't physically ready to perform at high intensities that is the dangerous bit. Here's a quote directly from the book:
Interval training can be implemented in many different ways - it doesn't have to be full-on sprints. The next section of the book talks about nutrition and calories. Todd's got some excellent info in here. Very easy to follow along and work with the numbers. He also shows you some great shortcuts for figuring out your caloric needs, including shopping lists and daily menus for various caloric intakes. Now, if you've ever been curious about how to drink alcohol and still get results while on a fat-loss program, Todd has also provided a very interesting "how-to" chapter on this. Right up front, he says he doesn't recommend it for best results, but he does present some well-thought-out ideas on how to minimize the impact. And he's talking from personal experience with these tips...you can tell from how he writes it. I know I've never seen this topic addressed with a step-by-step approach like this. It's a great addition to the book as I'm sure a lot of people have often wondered how to accomplish fat loss while continuing to enjoy alcoholic beverages. Now We Move To the 16 Week Action Plan. Todd's done an excellent job with this. He takes you by the hand and leads you through every week of the entire 16 week cycle of his program. He tells you how to adjust your training and diet on the fly so you know how to keep yourself moving the right direction. He's laid out all the training so you'll know exactly what you're doing every step of the way. The workouts are generally good - I don't agree with all the exercise selection or program design but that's really beside the point. The core of training for fat loss is weight training - on that we TOTALLY agree. Todd has also included a good deal of exercise technique info - pictures, explanations, that type of thing. He covers all the recommended exercises from his programs so you'll know exactly what you're doing. Conclusion: If you're looking for a good, common-sense, step-by-step approach to fat loss, this one is a winner. Todd's done a nice job of putting together an effective manual that takes you through everything you need to get excellent fat loss results. Advanced trainers will probably find they know most of this information, to be honest (though I found the cheeseburger diet to be a great concept...). The target audience for this book is the beginning to intermediate trainer - that's who's going to get the most out of it. Overall, it's good stuff. If you think you might be interested, definitely take advantage of the $4.95 trial offer Todd has going right now.
