MY NEW HONED AND TONED BODY
Well, what can I say now that my body isn't carrying much fat! I began this course some two months ago and gave it my all, followed every routine religiously and now I have reaped the rewards.

This regime of workouts is an inexpensive way of toning and honing your body. I can understand how some people might fall by the wayside when it comes to this sort of strict workout, but you have to be tough in yourself. And like the cliche, softies need not apply, this applies equally as well with this mode of body workout that sculptures you from head to toe.

So here I am, brand new and ready to pursue the rest of the course with gusto. I really have a lot to thank Mr Bronson for, although I'm sure he would rather be free in order to pursue his own dreams.

My whole way of eating has changed,which came about naturally and without any applied effort. Years of fat buildup dropped away to reveal my old self beneath. I really look forward to the exercises and feel that I now have more energy, although at first I felt very tired after each exercise routine.

True, this is not a workout for wannabe body builders. It is, though, a practical way to tackle and change your unhealthy lifestyle, which it has done for me.

Buy the bloody good book!
I bought this book after sampling a variety of different physical culture regimes and accumilating the baggage of various weight training paraphernalia. I just wish it had been out earlier!
Some of the language is a bit ladish and the binding on my copy isn't that good. The odd page has come away. But that should also be a sign of good use, yea?
Once you get down to it, learning the exercises and then doing each routine daily isn't so bad. It can take a bit more time than weights but is very worth while. Results you'll notice pretty quickly. Highly recommended.
