Get Your Body Healthy

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.

While the book by Mike Geary, “The Truth About Abs”, is branded as a manual to creating 6 pack abs, it’s really much more of a lifestyle manual. The Truth About Abs is an easy to follow guide to changing how you eat and how you exercise in order to achieve the results you have always dreamed of. Mike’s 161 page book is broken down into 3 broad sections which are as follows:

1. An introduction to the program, and general information on what it means to be lean, body fat percentage, what effective abs training is, metabolism, and lean body mass.

2. Workouts, information on how to exercise more efficiently, multi-joint vs single joint exercises, and total body work outs with surprising information on why cardio IS NOT the best way to lose weight; and

3. Diet and Nutrition, including information on blood sugar and insulin, the Glycemic Index, and the thermic (calorie burning) effects of food.

The Truth About Abs training program has two parts : Interval training and Resistance and Weight training. The fitness schedules are easy to follow and are time effective. The program explains how sessions longer than 45-60 are not a good use of your time. The program calls for 3-4 sessions per week, each about 45-6- minutes.

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.

I hope that I’ve given you a better insight into the actual information behind all the hype. As you can see, there are no magic promises with this program, but rather a clearly laid out plan with plenty of information to support a fitness lifestyle change. If you truly commit yourself to making a change, having a guide with no-nonsense healthy advice is the best thing you can do to start on your path to physical change.
