This book gets results!! You are categorized into one of 4 body types and 4 workouts are given for your body type- some that require gym equipment- some that are suitable to do at home. Each exercise is clearly demonstrated and things not to do are listed as well. My only complaint is that the book would be more user friendly if it was spiral bound!!

Fit for Your Shape: You are One of Four Body Shapes - Find Out Which - Work Out to Perfect it
I previously had Matt Roberts Fit for Life book and thought that was brilliant so at the age of 43 after having two children and letting my fitness slip somewhat I thought it time to join a gym and with the help of Matt get back in shape.
This book is great because there are a number of different workouts so there is no excuse to get bored. I was always turned off by gym programmes, 20 mins jogger, 20 mins rower, 3 sets of 15 of this and then that... boring. Matt's philosophy, and I agree, is that you can not target train to loose fat off one particular area, it is an all over approach. The workouts are as intensive as you want to make them but interesting and varied enough not to be boring!!!! Like anything to do with fitness, you can read all the books and watch all the DVDs in the world but unless YOU put effort in none of them will work.
I like Matt, three weeks in and I can already see and feel changes.

This book has a wide variety of exercises, a lot of them based around weights machines. There's a couple of home workouts which you also need some kit for. For my body shape there was only one workout that it was recommended I didn't do, all of the others were suitable for my shape, which made me wonder how specialised the workouts could be. There's no way you could remember in what order and how many exercises, you'd have to write them down, to take to the gym, or photocopy the pages, which I haven't got around to yet. Nor is there any advice on what weight to use on the weights machines, just the number of reps to do. This was good for inspiration and some guidance but I haven't followed it any where as strictly as Matt Roberts recommends just because I don't really want to take the whole book to the gym, and haven't copied the exercises out. Attracively presented, though with good illustrations and clear instructions.
