The REAL Body For Life

While the title of this book certainly gets your attention, Body for Life would have been an appropriate title had someone else not taken it first.The author does not show people how to transform their bodies in 12 weeks; he wants us to change our behavior, especially eating and exercising and do it for the rest of our lives, not 12 weeks, 12 months or 12 years.He starts us slowly having us build the discipline we need to work out and eat right before we do anything else. The way the workouts progress is almost ridiculously slow, but look at it this way: By the time most people have given up on their more extensive workouts, you're just getting started.By his own admission, Tuley does not tell us anything new or revolutionary. Most of the diet and exercise information he tells us, we already know. And he knows we already know it. But sometimes the best coaches are not the ones who come up with new plays or strategies, but the ones who effectively teach the basics and motivate their charges to get the most out of themselves. Tuley is that kind of coach.

The Truth Hurts The Typical American

I read the book, I believe that I was the one Marty Tuley was talking about. When I read the book I felt as if I was getting advice from a personal trainer.Plus I did not have to pay a fee to get the information. If you want to lose weight read this book. The book is brutually honest and it does not take much to follow Marty's program. I hope Marty has a good legal defense team. I think all of these wonder machines are going to try and blame him for the people not buying their ... products.ONE MORE TIME FOLkS IF YOU NEED HELP AND WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT BUY THE BOOK!!!...Marty, it is about time someone told the truth.

Is he serious?...really?

Yes! He seriously wants to help the average American battle the bulge. Don't be afraid if you haven't moved from behind the desk in a long time, for GET OFF YOUR ASS is written for you. GET OFF YOUR ASS is an easy read with just enough wit to shock and motivate. It is NOT an overwhelming medical text that gets you lost in the big picture as you struggle with the details of the finer workings of the lower intestine.(Who really cares?) Mr. Tuley is not afraid to voice things we have always known but are too scared to say. The chapters are short and full of relevant, useful information. There are even helpful photos!This book has something for everyone. As someone who has been working out for the past 3 years, this book even motivates me. The basic bare truths do not go away and the author really knows how to say what I need to hear to get me off my ass!"There are a thousand books out there, and even more opinions. However, when it comes right down to, you could read every book on the shelf, and listen to every so called expert, but it's all worthless if you don't GET OFF YOUR ASS!"Thank you, Marty Tuley!

A Holistic Approach to Fitness

Easy to read, to the point, educational, sometimes painfully truthful. These are the words I would use to describe this book. The author has written this book for the "non-fit" person, instead of the "fitness enthusiast" as many health publications are written for. "Non-fit" individuals have either never exercised, or it has been 10 or 20 years. Any knowledge they have of exercise is outdated or most likely wrong. Instead of "jumping" back into an exercise program full bore, which leads to failure upwards of 80% of the time, the author suggests a different approach....a drastically different one. No exercise whatsoever for the first month! He simply wants you to get in the habit of going to bed earlier and getting up earlier...for the times when you DO exercise. Establishing these habits is the first step to successful lifestyle change. Makes sense doesn't it?One of the many things I like about this book other than simple readability is it's explanation of all the facets of fitness. They are education, nutrition, and exercise. Not necessarily in that order, but without all three, your "fitness" is lacking. Without education, you wouldn't know what exercise is right for YOU. Without proper nutrition, you sabotage your exercise efforts and "cheat" your body of what it deserves. Without exercise, well, enough said.This book will get you excited about changing your lifestyle, make no mistake about it. If it doesn't, then the author would probably tell you to stay on your [rear] and continue to be miserable, fat, and not able to play ball with your son ever again. Sometimes the truth hurts.
