[Jacob Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don't actually expect to see jaw-dropping results in a matter of weeks, but this is a pleasantly comprehensive, manageable workout plan. I'm three weeks into the day-by-day schedule, and have yet to feel bored or overwhelmed to the point of skipping a day. Workout circuits/sequences are clearly displayed in the concise 4-or-6-week plan chapter, and the latter half of the book is mostly dedicated to breakdowns of individual exercises with handy image sets and blurb instructions. Posture is a big focal point, and even a few days into the regimen, I felt so much more productively aware of my alignment.

The specific day-by-day diet schedule is more of a perspective-enhancing exemplar of various ways to achieve nutritional balance than a crucial strategy, featuring a handful of fun recipe inspirations. There's a repeated emphasis on sticking to a diet tailored to individual habits, timeframes, and cravings. This lenience makes adhering to the workout plan all the easier, which in turn motivates me to honor the regular exercise by eating properly to build more lean muscle. A great feedback loop!
