Summary: Daily and Varied Routines for Addicts
Comment: What I like most about this program is the phase three where you are doing five days a week of weight training and cardio. For me, I like knowing I'm going nearly every day of the week and don't have to worry about what I'm lifting because the workouts alternate muscle groups constantly - it keeps me from staying home as an excuse. I went directly to phase three since I was already regular gym-goer and have started to see progress already.

Summary: hot point fitness
Comment: I am sixteen years old and I have been working out on and off since I was about twelve. My sister and I decided that we wanted to hit the gym again but we wanted some "assistance". My sister went out and found this book called Hot Point Fitness. Of course I was a little sceptical and I felt that a book would not have much to offer, but I was wrong. I have been following the day to day routine religiously for about the last month or so since that day she bought it, and let me tell you there is a huge difference in both my appearance and confidence. I may have been working out for a while but I really had no idea what to do and how to do it properly. Not only does this book tell you what to do and when to do it but it gives you a detailed summary about each and every particular exerice with pictures as well. If you are an ammature or even a regular at working out and you want to see a big difference in yourself and see it fast, this is the book for you. It's simple and easy to use and it surely is a lot cheaper than a personal trainer.

Summary: Simple but Effective
Comment: I am a Personal Trainer with a degree in Exercise Science. I saw a breif story on a entertainment news program about the book. As with most new fads/techniques, I performed my own little study on its efficacy. It was great. I saw visual, as well as, measured (increased strength, decreased body fat ...)improvements. It describes exactly what to do during each exercise to get maximal results.
I even sent it to my sister in another state to use to as she prepares herself to look great on her appraoching wedding day. I wish I could train her myself but this is the next best thing.
If you can't hire a trainer, I recommend you buy the book, read it cover to cover, then do it! It is simple and effective.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I was looking forward to this book after reading wonderful reviews. I have a master's degree in exercise physiology and own a personal traing business as well as manage a health club with over a dozen personal trainers. I am always looking for fresh approaches to exercise programming. The theory behind this book (MRI imaging to find exercise techniques that fully target the muscles) is very interesting. Unfortunately the author is not a writer, and apparently had a poor choicee for an editor. There are many typos and poor writing that detract from the book. The nutrition guidelines give okay percentages, but when you do the calculation it leaves you very short on calories based on energy expenditure (and part of the calculation is written backwards!). The most amazing mistake (in addition to misinformation about metabolism and energy) is the repeated reference to ENDOMORPHINS!!!! Come on--how can that have even made it to print??? An Endomorph is a particular body type---ENDORPHINS give you the 'runner's high'. ANY experienceed personal trainer should know that. So, sorry Mr. Zim...I had high hopes but can't get past all the errors.

Summary: RESULTS
Comment: I STARTED HOT POINT FITNESS IN APRIL AND AS TOLD I RECEIVED THE RESULTS PROMISED. I HAVE LOST 25LBS IN 3 MONTHS AND LOST FROM A SIZE 12 TO SIZE 7 AND STILL LOSING. I HAVE ALSO RECOMMENDED THE BOOK TO SEVERAL OTHERS AND THEY ARE SEEING THE SAME RESULTS. THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERYONE AS I HAVE SEEN IN MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS. STEVE GIVES SUPPORT BEFORE AND AFTER EACH CHAPTER AND THE BOOK IS SO WELL WRITTEN I FELT AS IF HE WERE THERE WITH ME ALL THE WAY. STEVE ALSO TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER EMAIL ONLINE AND HELP WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THIS IS A WELL ROUNDED PROGRAM WHERE YOU WILL EAT AND LOSE YOUR WAY TO THE BODY OF YOUR DREAMS. NO STARVING, NO SPECIAL DIETS. A HEALTHY DIET AND EXERCISE PROGRAM. I CAN STAY ON THIS PROGRAM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND NOT FEEL DEPRIVED OR LIKE MY LIFE HAS BECOME A SLAVE TO WORKING OUT. I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE WHO ASK ME HOW I LOST SO MUCH AND CHANGED MY BODY SO QUICKLY AND ALSO TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS.
