For years, Americans have been told that aerobic exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off. Weight training is recommended as a way to keep muscle mass while losing weight, but it’s never portrayed as the ticket to weight loss itself.

If you want a great book that will give you superior tips on the mindset of getting into or staying in top shape … you must read “Danger Close.” It has 32 pages of pictures and 400 pages of incredible text.

Sorry guys, this book is a crock, a total waste of money. If you’re looking for a “manly” way to lose weight, start by picking up an issue of “Men’s Health” or “Men’s Fitness” — by all means do not do what I did and waste money on this thinly-disguised advertisement for this guy’s supplements. It’s written at about a third-grade reading level, it includes an excess of stuff we don’t need to know again, and very little in the way of useful workout or diet guidelines. Save yourself the trek back to the post office to return this one — don’t buy it.

I didn’t like the drawings and it just appeared to be cheaply made. The material is OK but the routines force you to take up 2 pieces of equipment at a time which isn’t always possible. You can get the same adviceelsewhere. Besides this its great to hear someone say you don’t need “aerobics”

An excellant book for weight loss and muscle gain. I have been weight training for over 20 years. I find Mr. Poliquin’s books clear and to the point, containing none of the pages and pages of non information found in most books. I’ve been on the beginning program for three weeks and have loss fat, even though I have not applied the diet part of his plan. I am excited to think what will happen when I apply the diet.

True, the book is thin, but you will not find what he says anywhere else. Take it for the information and routines. Do not take it for the drawings which look silly. I hate aerbics and I may never do them again thanks to people likes St. Poliquin. If you are a true man you should read this book or at least go over to Testosterone.net.
