Does anyone know if “Six Pack Abs” by John Basedow does a lot of good? I want to know before I buy it..

Author: I’m 19 years old and looking to be in better shape. I definitely put in the time in my abs, but I don’t know if I’m doing the right exercises. I wonder, if I bought "Six Pack Abs" or something like that, if that would help me more.

Hesitated getting this book at first as I’ve already seen countless books on the ABS issue. Decided in the end to get because of it’s compact size and easy to follow simple steps. Results were obvious after 2 weeks and now I carry it along when I’m travelling though I already knew the steps and sequence by heart. One of the extremely few impulsive buys I didn’t regret."

This books is simply great. I’ve been using it for about 8 weeks and the six pack is definately there. The book has three workouts, each of about 8 exercises, and each taking about 15-20 mins. For it to work I guess you have to exercise 3 or 4 times a week (as I have). The book does have some hard and unusual exercises in it, such as the ball-pike and bench reverse crunch. Many of the exercises may seem familiar and similar to each other, but the book succeeds in three key areas: Firstly it helps you focus your workout on your abs (rather than just doing a few crunches before you leave the gym.) Secondly, the pictures and explanations help you get your technique right, and technique is everything! Thirdly each workout is designed as a set of exercises that complement each other and when performed together in a workout have a greater effect than when performed in isolation.
In summary this is a great book, and because it’s small you can take it in to the gym and keep it by your side while you exercise. Also, it is suitable for just about anyone – if you’re an absolute beginner, or a hardened athlete, or somewhere in the middle like me, you can find your own level and work on from there."

I’ve seen and read many books and magazines that offer so many different ways/gimmicks to trim up and build your abdominal area. This compact book gives you 3 great ab workouts to train within a week, gives helpful tips on diet and cardio, and makes the training sessions simple but effective. The exercises are innovative, focused, and work very well. If you’re looking for a great guide for the money, this book has it all. I was able to see positive results within 2 weeks."
