If you want a hard-core no-nonsense workout for a quick but sustainable transformation then this book will guide you to that end. As I read it I often thought "no, that’s just too hard for most people". But that's kind of the point. I've been training hard for 20 years for personal fitness, and everything I read made sense from my experience in that pursuit. The ultimate pursuit is to live longer better. If you have the motivation to try something challenging and to get a big kick start in lifting your level of fitness then this book has everything you need. All you need to add is your willpower and determination to hang on in there !

I loved this for the meal plan - and it DOES actually work!

I am a former personal trainer so I wasn't too interested in the exercises, as I know them all anyway, but I always struggled with nutrition. Not any more. This book has recipes for meals that I actually LIKE!

Of course I didn't like every single thing, but there were plenty of options and I did substitute what I didn't like for what I did.

The first time I followed the plan I found I was too hungry and I ended up adding "bad" things. A few months later I tweaked it and followed a modified version and lost more than 14lbs in the 2 weeks.

I will be doing it again this month, then again in a couple of months' time.

This is a good source for someone who wants to try a quick get into shape diet. He has a very specific diet and excercise routine for a specific amount of days. Clearly written so easy to follow that way but a very intense 14 day plan. I plan to try it next year but it takes a lot of time so I have to wait for all my kids to be in school.

This book is cool to learn about nutrition, and quick muscle building.
When I did the 14 day plan last time, I toned up super quick and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I thought that was pretty cool, and I didn't gain it back.

David Kirsch works with many stars.. he's a great 'trainer' guy.

This is one of the very best workouts I have ever tried. I am stronger and more flexible now than I was in my teens and twenties. Try the DVD...it's terrific!
