Book excerpt: Body transformations are the most sought-after type of training in the fitness world. It is now understood by the leading magazines, gym chains and industry as a whole, that training for a marathon, getting into swimming or general exercise (like squash) will not give people the bikini body or rippling six pack they would like. The simple truth is that the task is challenging and exercise is actually only about one-third of the battle. This manual gives you the information to get the exercise bit right, as well as how to manage the nutrition, sleep and stress that goes into the other, arguably more important, two-thirds. The Body Transformation Manual includes: A complete step-by-step workout plan Basic nutritional information to help you understand what you really need Explanation of when and what to eat to maximize fat loss and muscle gain Advice, tips and experience from a top London trainer Male and female specifics Proven methods from the author, and his pointers on the best methods utilized by others List of equipment needed Weight-training protocols explained Interval training (HIIT) over slow runs (LISS) explained
