Formula 50: A 6-Week Workout and Nutrition Plan That Will Transform Your Life

by 50 Cent, To Be Announced (Reading)

Includes a bonus disc with recipes, photos, and instructions! Get fit like 50 Cent! The phenomenally fit superstar rapper reveals his strategic six-week workout plan for achieving a ripped body--and developing the mental toughness to stay in shape for a lifetime. Survival is a recurring theme of 50 Cent's lyrics and his life. That's why, with obesity rates soaring and fitness levels declining, he wants to give everyone an all-access pass to his premium plan for lifelong fitness. In Formula 50, the megasuccessful entertainer and entrepreneur unleashes the power of metabolic resistance training (MRT), the key ingredient that has helped him achieve the famously buff physique that makes his music videos sizzle. Through MRT, 50 Cent's fitness plan breaks down the barriers between traditional weight training and cardio workouts, accelerating fat loss while building muscle and improving overall fitness. Designed for a six-week rollout for total mind-body transformation, the Formula 50 regimen builds both willpower and physical power. In addition to motivation, nutrition is another key element; listeners will discover the unique dietary combinations that fuel 50 Cent's workouts. Coauthored with Jeff O'Connell, health journalist and editor-in-chief at Bodybuilding.com (the world's largest fitness website), the book delivers a payoff that goes beyond six-pack abs and flab-free pecs--this is a fitness plan that boosts energy, endurance, flexibility, and mobility. The result is a body you've always dreamed of--and the mind-set to attain the rest of your dreams.

Just another Jeff O'Connell workout book. Yeah, 50 is on the cover and in some pictures, but, the moment you open up Formula 50 you know 50 had very little say in this. Jeff did a similar book with LL Cool J with similar routines etc. Now, I'm not knocking the book but it is pretty much a replica of past books Jeff has collaborated on just with updated info. I still give Formula 50 5 Stars because with the help of Jeff and inspiration of 50, matched with your dedication, results are practically guaranteed. In the end, Jeff provides the best guidance and who wouldn't be inspired by 50?

IT'S 50 CENT TEACHING YOU HOW TO WORK OUT!

This is one of those books that was hard for me to put down (except for the parts of the book that shouldn't have been narrated [the exercise routines]). I ended up downloading the audiobook from the library on a whim, hoping that it'd supplement my understanding of health and the human body. What I got from listening was a bevy of amazing facts that have helped me better understand my own body through the lens of nutrition and physical health. Certain tips and tricks that I've learned through this book have motivated me to change the way that I take care of myself. With every self-help book I read, there are facts that I agree with and disagree with. What makes this book stand out from the others is the way the author encapsulates the facts in a way that makes me want more. I'd recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn how to better take care of their brains and their bodies.

Amazing!

This is a excellent book that begins with getting you into the right mindset to begin your fitness journey of powerful workouts and healthy foods. The key is to look at both diet and exercise as an investment in yourself that will pay dividends of quality of life for years. I recommend first reading "Fat Land" by Greg Critser. So far, I've lost 13 pounds in three months and I am not in a rush, I understand this is a lifestyle choice. The only thing that I disagree with in the book is the idea that people generally won't judge you at the gym. That has not been my experience. Too many internet trolls, youtubers, and meat heads are in the gym taking photos of people working out. If you can, work out in the privacy of your home, or at least when the gyms are not packed with narcissist youtuber millennials that are filming content for their social media channels to mock people that are just trying to better their lives. Stay safe and healthy living.

Suprisingly accurate, though not that deep

[Ilias · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a physiotherapist and a personal trainer I found it very educational and nicely written. I will try some of these food ideas and plans in my routine. If you are an absolute beginner, I would say the book is honest about what it offers, well written and straight to the point. I recommend it.

Get fit like 50 Cent! This book was just as hilarious as you might expect. There were motivating quotes from rap lyrics mixed in with plenty of bro science. The bro science shared seemed on par with current consensus, so this book could very well be legit. The one downside is that the exercise plans are extremely complicated. Every day of tackling this program would have to be sat down and planned out like a damn bank heist. I don't go to the gym to work out my brain, dude!

Right away the first pages earn your respect for 50 Cent, who doesn't drink or do drugs but rather wrote those songs because that what was selling. This book shows you the drive for health and self improvement of 50 Cent from the perspective of his workouts, resolve to commit to healthy choices, and intelligent nutrition. It made me feel ready to hit the gym hard after each increment I read.

[Chris Seltzer · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is just your standard workout book. 50 Cent's involvement seems limited to a brand deal for him to lend his name and appear on the cover. There are many better books if you want to follow a workout plan, not to mention all the resources available on the internet.

Nothing new; but truly inspiring and highly energizing. Plus great paper and nice cover. It makes a really good book to keep at the house :-)

Read instead Body by science or the paleo diet. 1/3 about himself, 1/3 about food 1/3 about exercise.
