The goal setting
chapter is worth it’s weight in gold and
perfectly placed at the beginning of the book –
it’s the
kind of thing that you’ll come back to again and again, even
for
things completely unrelated to your training and fitness
regimes.
It sets you off on the right foot as it’s absolutely
fundamental
to any success you achieve.
"But I'm Not A
Bodybuilder, Will It Work For Me?"
The best thing about this program is
that even though
it’s
written by a successful bodybuilder it’s not exclusively for
bodybuilders. Unlike many books and programs written by
bodybuilders that tend to assume you want to be the next Mr. Universe
(or Miss Universe :) ),
‘Burn
The Fat’is
great for anyone, male or female, who takes an active interest in
losing body fat, getting themselves into better shape and staying in
shape. And you also don’t need a PhD to understand
the
content as Tom keeps things in layman’s terms (thank goodness
:)
). There’s no condecending remarks or comments
– by
the end you’ll see Tom not only as a mentor but a friend and
guide.
How
will this benefit you?
What’s great is that Tom understands that
not everyone
is
the same, and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily
work
for someone else. He presents you with the facts and you
incorporate what applies to
you
and
your
body
type.
You’ll
find out the best nutrition and training plan for
you.
What
didn’t I like about the book?
Well, the length of it may seem daunting to some, but it
didn’t
really bother me personally. 341 pages is long for any book,
especially an e-book, and there’s a tremendous amount of
detail
in there, which you can explore at your leisure. In saying
this
though, I did feel that the section on actual exercises and exercise
routines could perhaps have been more padded out, or even made into a
separate ebook to give more opportunity for embellishment - but then
again, that would have made the book even longer, so maybe
it’s
best as is.
What
else do I get?
As
for the bonuses
that Tom throws in you get some great information on
food types, tips on measuring your body fat and even a bunch of recipes
too, so look out for them.
I can wholly recommend
‘Burn
The Fat: Feed The Muscle’
as one of the best tell-it-like-it-is fat loss programs which is packed
with great content. It represents excellent value for money,
and
is a welcome surprise compared to the normal recycled fluff that we get
sent, and at an affordable price.
I think everyone can benefit from using the ideas and strategies laid
out in
‘Burn
The Fat’,
whether they’re a professional bodybuilder preparing for
their
next competition or somebody who’s never set foot in a
gym.
All are welcome and all can learn. If you’re
willing to put
in the time and effort to educate yourself, you’ll see
results.
Tom’s ability to explain complex facts and processes in
simple,
unscientific language is one of the main pluses of the book.
You’ll learn so much without even realising it –
and that
is one of the signs of a great teacher.
Verdict: Highly Recommended 5
Out Of 5
All I can say is if you want to get fit, get educated!
