It is possible to create a great body at home

I almost quit working out (again) if it weren't for Home Bodybuilding. I have two kids, a full-time job and no time for a gym and I needed to find something that would help me keep in shape. I'm so happy that I found this book.The book has five parts and they are:Part I--Getting StartedPart II--NutritionPart III--The BasicsPart IV--Body SpecificPart V--The MindIt is also broken down into giving workouts and advice for women and men (a good thing since I have no desire to have big muscles) and it has lots of good workouts and exercises you can do at home or in the gym.It seems to cover all the basics by featuring exercises and workouts you can do with barbells, dumbbells, machines, no weights and exercises with just your body and even using infomercial equipment. Yeah, I admit it. I bought the Total Gym a year ago and after a few months of using it (it now sits in the garage, thank you) it's more like the Total Joke, but that's a whole different review.Anyway, this book has been really helpful and if anyone is looking for a no non-sense way to get themselves in good shape and do it at home, this is the book I'd recommend.

the best book for working out at home

I was looking for a book that was geared for people who want to work out at home and couldn't find anything until I found Home Bodybuilding. The format is based on three steps which are the mental, physical and nutritional. The book also has separate sections for men and women as well as exercises with weights, without weights and even infomercial equipment. I liked the author's straight forward approach which doesn't have any agendas like other books I've read (i.e. like Body For Life which the author of the book is also the founder of the supplement company EAS which is promoted in his book) and he provides lots of good information which works. He is also very motivational and the book is filled with inspiring observations, quotes and affirmations which are helpful. The last part of the book is devoted to the mental aspect of being successful working out at home and while being a bit apprehensive about it at first, I'm a believer now. All in all, a well done book I'd whole heartedly say "get".

Lots of great tips

I wanted a book that would inspire me with something different that would FINALLY help me lose the 50 or so pounds I've been wanting to get rid of and Home Bodybuilding by Robert Wolff is it!I've read so many books about protein and carbs and what all the experts say and they just confuse me. I mean, c'mon, give me a break. One expert says eat too many carbs you get fat and the other says eat too much protein and it's bad for your body. How does anyone know who or what to believe?That's why I like this book. It's not pushing one diet or anything else over another. It's not pushing one exercise plan or anything else over another. It's just great advice that gives you a no bs approach to eating, exercising and working out at home.I like the fact that the book covers all bases from working out at home if you have weights, no weights or even bought infomercial equipment. Robert Wolff gives excellent tips on how to get the best from any of them.While the diet and exercise advice is excellent, what changed my body and way of thinking was his chapters on how our minds work to either help us or hurt us depending on how we are using them.His explanation of our "loyal servant" (our unconscious mind) is so revolutionary and something that no other book even touches that it alone could be all you need to know to finally break the fat cycle and create the body you've always wanted.This book is life changing and my body and life is proof. This book is going to help a lot of people.
