Appears to be a very interesting book, full of photos of Antonio himself. A little disappointing in that the bulk of the book reads more like an interview than a fitness book, and that the exercise tips are all based on a gym workout. There is no home/stretch workout, which I personally would have liked to have read, and the title itself suggests a workout to suit everybody, and , lets face it the thought of going to a gym puts many people off straight away. But on the whole as I said it appears to be quite interesting as a behind the scenes look at the author himself.

FINALLY, A WORKOUT ROUTINE AND REGIMIN THAT REALLY WORKS.
18 Oct 1999
Format:Hardcover
I'M NOT INTO BOOKS ABOUT FITNESS, BUT I WAS INTRIGUED ABOUT ANTONIO AND HOW HE TRANSFORMED HIS BODY FROM THE EARLY DAYS WHEN HE WAS APPEARING IN JANET JACKSON MUSIC VIDEOS. I HAVE A SIMILAR BUILD, HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WANTED TO FINE TUNE AND SCULP MY BODY BECAUSE I LIKED HIS LOOK. AFTER READING THE BOOK, IT ALL MADE SENSE. THE PHILOSOPHY ABOUT HOW YOUR ATTITUDE SHOULD BE IN THE GYM, ALONG WITH THE SUPERSET AND THE NUITRITION INFORMATION. I COULD SEE IN ONLY ONE WEEK VERY NOTICEABLE RESULTS. I HAVE LENT IT TO MY WORKOUT PARTNER SO THAT HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WHEN I APPROACH HIM ABOUT CHANGING THE WAY WE WORK OUT. I HAVE CUT MY WORKOUT TIME IN HALF WITH IMPROVED RESULTS. GONE ARE THE MINUTES OF WASTED TIME, RESTING BETWEEN SETS, WAITING FOR MACHINES AND LOGGING INFORMATION ON NOTEPADS THAT DON'T MEAN ANYTHING. LIKE THE BOOK SAYS, "DON'T STOP TO VISIT WITH PEOPLE, DON'T STOP TO WRITE IN NOTEBOOKS, IF YOU HAVE TIME TO DO THIS, YOU ARE NOT WORKING OUT" YOU ARE WASTING TIME. THIS BOOK MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THE CONCEPTS ARE SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND. IT WILL REMAIN A PART OF MY FITNESS PROGRAM FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME.

Building a Muscular Physique without using extreme measures
23 July 2000
There are loads of bodybuilding books out there. And to some, the price of this book may be on the high side. So, why Antonio Sabato's Workout For Life?
Here's why. The physique achieved by Antonio is no mean feat. This book shows you how you can build a great physique by being moderate and commonsensical; without resorting to pills, supplements and fancy diets; and without lifting weights which may be too heavy for your own good.
It's refreshing how Antonio departs from the usual oft-cited bodybuilding "wisdom" out there. Conventional bodybuilding techniques teach you to use heavy weights and to have rests in between these heavy sets. However, using heavy weights do not necessarily translate into muscles. Antonio believes in using intensity to build muscles - that means using lighter weights but moving quickly from set to set and without excessive rest. If you have trouble lifting the weights, then it is too heavy for your body, and you should use lighter weights, says Antonio.
What I was impressed by was the fact that Antonio achieved his physique without resorting to any fancy diet, supplement or pill.
Antonio also believes in keeping in shape all year round. So there is no such thing as an "off-season" to him and neither is there a need for him to "get in shape again". The mental attitude adopted by him is truly inspiring. Antonio helps you to rid yourself of all excuses to get yourself in shape.
All I have said so far is already worth half the price of the book. The photos in this book are worth the other half. There are lots of photographs of Antonio Sabato Junior's great physique and him in action working out.
If you like to get in shape but don't know how, I recommend that you get this book.

On target!
17 Nov 1999
This book is informative, interesting, and provides solid information. As a middle aged man, I could have done without all the "cheesecake" photos. However, he provides a unique way of workouts. I have done this for a couple of weeks and the workouts are tough. I end up lifting weights less poudage wise, but seem to be getting better results due to the intensity. For people who have been active, this book is ideal.
On the negative side, Sabato makes you figure out which body exercises to do. I would have preferred seeing sample sets for given days. Also, the book is expensive for 144 pages. Had it been less or if Amazon would provide a bigger discount (and beat their competitors-hint!) I would have rated it 5 stars.
