Product Description
A fundamental look at the basic reasons why most individual fitness programs fail or lose their effectiveness over time. Dr Paul Kennedy reveals the basic reasons for lack of success in typical, well-intentioned programs and the simple adjustments that can correct those problems. In many cases, these adjustments, while uncomplicated and easily implemented, are often overlooked or not perceived as the 'critical little things' that are the difference between long-term fitness goal achievement and the nagging frustration of a programme doomed to failure. With dozens of photographs, charts, illustrations, several easy-to-use personal training logs and diaries, plus a questionnaire to assist in establishing individual fitness readiness, this easy-to-read and entertaining book has everything you need to make your fitness program REALLY work in the REAL world.

Finally, I understand, 4 Mar 2003
By Vicki Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be Fit, Stay Fit: Why Your Workout Doesn't Work and How to Fix It (Paperback)
I have always been interested in fitness, having adopted the Atkins eating philosophy into my life and working out on a regular basis. With all the reading and inquiring I have done in the past 30 years, I have found nothing as informative and as easy to understand as this book. All of the usual questions -and even some I have never considered- are answered in a down-to-earth, common-sense manner that is even entertaining. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter the level of their diet or exercise regime! I would certainly call in to his radio show if I lived in Arizona--he sounds like a fun guy!!

Outstanding!!!, 3 Mar 2003
By Zak Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be Fit, Stay Fit: Why Your Workout Doesn't Work and How to Fix It (Paperback)
Be Fit! Stay Fit! provides the reader with a no-nonsense approach to fitness and easy, yet very effective methods to make your workout extremely productive! I have been training and eating healthy for 9 years and I can only imagine how much time could have been saved and better results could've been had if this book was available when I was an amateur. A must read for the average person who is just starting a fitness/nutrition program (95% of us), or even Mr. Olympia, anybody can reap the benefits of this books content. Bottomline: If you incorporate the knowledge and advice within its pages, YOU WILL GET RESULTS!

Be Fit, Stay Fit: Why Your Workout Doesn't Work and How to, 22 Feb 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Be Fit, Stay Fit: Why Your Workout Doesn't Work and How to Fix It (Paperback)
I found this book on exercise to be exactly what I was looking for. The format was easy to read and understand and I was getting useful information from the very first page. There were numerous photographs and illustrations and this made it easier for me to translate this information into an actual workout at the gym. I have gone to the gym over the years on a fairly consistent basis but I found the Quick Set system has truly reduced my time in the gym while allowing me to obtain new levels of strength. I believe that this will be a method I can stick with for life.
I also appreciated the additional exercises and lifts that were provided as I find challenging my muscles by using different modalities helps to keep my sessions in the gym fresh and therefore I won't become bored and/or lax in my approach to my workout.
The Chapter entitled "Diet is a Four Letter Word" is perhaps my favorite because of the every day common sense approach to eating that is presented. I, myself, had given up on "fad diets" many years ago but I have never had an approach to eating put into writing that just made so much sense. The ten tips for reducing caloric intake that are given have become my new guideling for assesing how and what I am eating.
I truly would recomment this book to anyone who isn't quite sure of how to start or hasn't quite figured out where to go next with their current fitness program. Be Fit Stay Fit was fun to read and what's even better are the results I'm getting by using the suggestions given.
