The Four Hour Body

If you're looking for an amazing new approach to fitness look no further than The Four Hour Body, by Timothy Ferriss and I have to say I loved that book.

Some of the features include:

1. Pre Habbing Section.  Instead of rehabbing an injury for several weeks or months take about one month to prevent injuries.  A much better approach.  Probably one of the most important sections of the book.
2. The section on how to use the book.  The Four Hour Body is not a book to be read cover to cover.  Decide what your fitness goals are and use the recommended sections to achieve them.
3. For those looking to lose fat, the section on how to lose 20 pounds in 30 days, without exercise is probably just what you're looking for.  There is also a section on how to prevent fat GAIN when  you binge.  So you can join in the fun when you're at parties without worry and guilt.
4. For the skinny guy, your days of having sand kicked in your face, or having your girlfriend throwing you over HER shoulder are about to end.  Yes you can add up to 30 pounds of lean mass in a month.
5. If you want to run faster and farther The Four Hour Body has the NFL combine workout.
6. And what every woman wants in her man, the section on the 15 minute female orgasm.  Do this and you'll likely be the best she's ever had.

I intend to start on the Pre Habbing next week before going into the Geek To Freak section to start adding muscle.

Here is the link to this awesome book.




Regardless of what your fitness goal is, burn fat or add muscle this book will have a plan for you.

Week 5 of the Pushups and Week 3 of the situps and squats programs

Hello and Welcome back to my blog.

The time is really flying by on this program. Two more weeks and I'll be going for 100 pushups. Four weeks after that I'll be going for 200 squats and situps.

This workout my goal was to get to 56 push ups on the final set. For sit ups it was to get to 78 sit ups. For squats my goal was 70.

Verdict for pushups: 47. Didn't quite make it. But still seven more than the recommended minimum. I'm getting closer to reaching the goal each workout. So by the time the final test is done I'm sure I'll be able to do 100 in one set.

Verdict for situps: 78. Goal Accomplished.

Verdict for Squats: 70. Goal accomplished.

I am going to lower the goal for pushups as it has obviously been an unattainable goal. Instead of 40% more than the recommended minimum I'll go for 30% and see what happens.

See you back here on Thursday.

Exhaustion Test Day

Hello Everyone and welcome back.

Today I performed my exhaustion test for the pushups, situps and squats program. One day late I know but I figured the extra day of rest would do me good.

Verdict for Pushups: 50 straight good form pushups. Half way there to being able to do 100 with two weeks to go in the program.

Verdict for Situps: 50 straight good form situps. One quarter of the way there with four weeks left in this program,

Verdict for Squats: 60 straight good form squats. Only 140 more to go with four weeks in the program.

This week I will be performing the program on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Be sure to check back in then.

By the way for those of you wondering I will be doing reviews of other programs as well in the future along with ones I've done in the past. These programs are very good, highly recommended.

Week 4 of 100 pushups, Week 2 of 200 situps and 200 squats

Hello everyone and welcome back

Today is Week 4m Day 3 of my 100 pushups program and Week 2, Day 3 of my 200 situps and squats program.

Today my goal for the pushups program is to get to 56 on the final set. My goal for the situps routine is 78 for the final set. My goal for the squats program is 70.

Verdict for pushups: Got to 46. Didn't quite make it but still doing more than the recommended minimum. But Monday I will make the goal.

Verdict for situps: 78. Got my goal.

Verdict for squats: 70. Got my goal

I also found out I did the wrong workout for situps. I did column 3 where I was supposed to do column 2.

Exhaustion set coming tomorrow. Tune in then to see how I did.

Week 4 and Week 2

Hello everybody and welcome back to my fitness blog.

Today is Week 4, day 2 of the pushups program.

My goal for the final set is 50 pushups or 40% more than the recommended minimum for the last set of 32.

Verdict: I got to 41 before I did a slight pause. So this workout I did not make my pushups goal. Although I could have made my goal if I continued to push, my feeling on it is that would not be totally truthful since I had a slight pause before starting.

My goal for the situps work out was 2.6 times the recommended minimum for the last set of 20. So my goal is 52.

Verdict: go to 52, Goal Achieved.

My goal for the squats program was also 2.6 times the recommended minimum of 23, goal is 60.

Verdict: 60. Goal achieved.

Next workout I'll push through when I have a pause, kind of like busting through obstacles in life.

Week four Day 1 of 100 Pushups, Week 2 of situps and squats

Hello everyone and welcome back.

Today is week 4 day one of my 100 pushups program and Week 2 day one of my situps and squats program.


My goal today for pushups is 40% more for the last set (minimum 32) or 45. If I don't make it this week 40% more while ambitious was not attainable.

Verdict: Got to 45. I achieved my goal.

My Goal today for the situps program is 2.6 times for the last set minimum of 17, so I'm shooting for 37

Verdict: Got to 37. I achieved my goal.

My Goal today for the squats program is also 2.6 times the last set minimum of 20, so I'm shooting for 52.

Verdict: Got to 52. I achieved my goal.

Unfortunately somehow I miscalculated what 2.6 times 17 was, the real answer was 44, so I did not achieve my goal.

For next workout learn proper math and 2.6 times for each of the sit ups and squats program last set and 40% more than the recommended last set on the push ups program.

See you on Wednesday.
