I\’d like to introduce you to of one of the better fitness programs that I\’ve encountered to date, by writing a review of the actual plan itself. You may have already heard about \’The Truth About Abs\’, and encountered a lot of sales pitches and \’is this a scam?\’ baiting ads. What I\’d like to do is give you some actual information about the science behind the plan, because in my opinion this program is definitely more than hype, and offers sound fitness and nutritional information that will help anyone who is trying to get fit and lean.
The e-book \”The Truth About Abs\” that Mike Geary has written is more than a guide to getting ripped abs – since the abs are only a small part of the whole picture. This is an easy to follow program that will help you change your eating habits and patterns, and give you exercise routines to boost your metabolism and build core strength and lean muscle. The book covers 3 main topics -
1. An introduction and important general information about leanness, metabolism, body fat %, effective abdominal training, and lean body mass.
2. Effective workout plans, information about more efficient ways to exercise, what multi-joint vs single joint exercises mean, as well as a collection of total body work outs. An explanation of why your current cardio program IS NOT helping you lose weight the way you expected; and
3. Diet and Nutrition, explanation of how blood sugar and insulin affect your diet program, the Glycemic Index, and the calorie burning properties (thermic effect) of food.
The workouts are easy to follow and are suprisingly time effective. The exercise and fitness program is broken down into two sections: Interval training and Resistance and Weight training. Anything longer then 45-60 minutes is not required for an effective training session. The training program is broken down into 45-60 minute sessions, 3-4 times per week.
If you really want to get your body toned and in shape, then you should easily be able to find time for this schedule. The bonus is you don\’t need a gym or a lot of equipment. However, Mike suggests having a set of dumb bells and an exercise ball to most effectively perform the workouts. This shouldn\’t be a huge investment, $30-40 at the most – way cheaper than a gym, and it means you have created your own gym right at home.
This program advises eating 5-6 smaller meals per day. Mike suggests eating every 3 hours during waking hours. He also suggests that you plan your meals for an entire week, and once per week go shopping only for the items you need for those meals.
There is also a section which explains how to determine your total calorie requirements – along with the more frequent smaller meals, this will help you figure out the total amount of food you should be consuming. This was a great help for me, to know that this is not a fad diet where you are will be hungry over half of the time.
The meal plans provided in the book make it easy to shop for and prepare your food. The meal plans provide more than enough food – you are unlikely to experience hunger pains – however the plans are most likely a change from your current diet, and in order to be successful you need to be disciplined with your nutrition. This will be vitally important to your success. It is clearly stated in this book that to succeed on the Truth About Abs program, you must apply BOTH the training strategies as well as the food strategies.
If you\’re like me, you\’ve procrastinated on starting a real plan for losing weight for a long time. Mike\’s program was just the incentive I needed to get started, and he provides so much information and detailed workout and meal plans, it was a lot easier to stick with my goals.
