Reviews

Gym owners and franchisees will flock to Connelly's side, as will manufacturers of strange supplemental substances such as HMB, DIM, and creatine monohydrate. With all the credentials in the world (and a body to boot), this physician-researcher underscores the truths of the most recent diet findings: that protein-fiber is the food key and weight training is the workout key. He calls his regimen a six-pack--four cycles of six weeks each, starting with strengthening, sculpting, then burning fat, and maintaining. There are series of power exercises, with explicit directions about sets and repetitions, and there are answers to obvious and complicated questions, such as the benefits of aerobics (not much, he says) and the need for stretching (ditto). Whatever works--and, with diligence and practice, this plan just might. REVWR
