The Men's Health Cover Model Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a great first workout program.The exercises are clearly demonstrated and each section comes with a chart to monitor your progress.That said, here are some things that don't make this book a best-seller: 1) way too many cheesy modelling shots, it looks dumb and almost embarassing if anyone sees you with it (I hide my copy from my friends); 2) They tried to market Owen as a guy who had it rough when he didn't, Owen tries to sound like his life was in the toilet before his workout routine but it wasn't - many of his claims (i.e. his bad back, his party-harty days, etc.) are just minor stuff that everyone's dealt with - find me a cripple with his body and then I'll buy HIS book; 3) the diet plan is elusive, he tries to claim there's a diet plan but there's not - he only lists three meal items for B-fast, lunch and dinner - in short, a strong diet plan is needed to follow your new program.
A really good strong point about the book that I do like is that he emphasizes all-around fitness.A cardio-program is the backbone of all fitness routines.I never noticed how many guys go to the gym and lift weights but don't bike or run after.In fact, I saw this one really bulked-up guy climb the stairs at my gym and he was panting by the end!I'm no genius but I know that you should do some cardio to follow your body.That is what Owen's program does; it gets you fit while emphasizing the elements that will benefit you all-around.This book is a great startout program but I think that any advanced lifters/athletic people will already know a program advanced beyond this.
PS-what's with the "Owen Crunch" in this book?It's just a normal crunch so stop trying to pawn it off as something miraculous; it's not like I go around turning doorknobs and trying to get people to call it the "Ty turn".Don't be stupid with terminology.
