I've heard great things about this book and was thinking about getting it...however, I did hear it's best if you are going to a gym, which I'm not. I have hand weights at home as well as one of those home gyms that uses weights and has like 10 different exercises (sorry, I honestly don't know what to call it!) Do you think this book would be beneficial? I didn't want to get it if I can't do the exercises. For example, I can't do bench presses...

    There are alternate exercises in the book for those that don't have a gym.

    i really enjoyed reading the book actually. I found it to be well written and very informative without being boring - it was actually sort of funny at times!

    I tried to do the routine at home with the alternate exercises but hit a wall very early with the weights i have. I can deadlift more than the weights i have...so for ME it was counterproductive not being able to actually lift progressively heavier...which is the whole point. I'm very happy to have read the book though and gotten a better understanding of the eating more concept and the benefits of lifting - which wasnt on my radar at all.

    and one day I'll be able to fit in gym time and id like to give it another go

    For those of you that have read and are doing this - what are your thoughts on this statement that I found in the reviews of the book:

    "Final thoughts about fat loss: This is probably not the book for someone looking to lose 50-100 or more pounds. It's for someone who is probably 30 lbs. or less from goal and who has worked out before, who has a certain level of current fitness, and who is comfortable in the weight room."

    I would like to read the book but I don't have a gym membership and can't afford one at the moment. The only thing I do have is 5 and 10 lb weights.

    Thoughts?
