It worked! I was able to drop 10 lbs in the 2 weeks and I’m still going strong. Since I’m in my late 40’s and haven’t exercised in quite a few years, I was cautious, but the work out routines are challenging enough so I won’t get bored yet not so difficult that I want to give up right away. A lot of common, sense good reading and easy to follow instructions. I used this book in conjunction with Jorge’s other book the ‘3 Hour Diet’. Excellent compliment to one another and very informative.

First, the great: the diet and nutrition recommendations for attacking belly fat are on target. Jorge gives this info away free, however. It’s part of his worthy campaign to eliminate this big threat to our health When the book gets into the strengthening and conditioning, there are some major problems. For example, I did not notice a caution about consulting your doctor before beginning this training regime. If itis there (and I only read the men’s section), it isn’t highlighted and emphasized. I never found it. Equally important to safeguarding health, no warm-up procedures are evident. Again, IF they are there, they are not prominently displayed. I may be out of shape (not so much for 70), but I’ve had enough experience and training to know that warming up is vital. If for some reason that escapes me this isn’t necessary for “controlled tension” exercises, than that needs to be explained. Until then, warm up first! That being said, I like the controlled tension exercises, and I like the variety of exercises. I particularly like that you can get a good workout in half an hour that feels equivalent to a more tradional resistance workout twice as long or more. With the caveats herein, consider this plan. Done right, it should produce results without harm.

This DVD is essentially a follow-up to Jorge Cruise’s “12 Second Sequence” workout DVD. ”Body at Home” uses slow cadence lifting and static contraction in the workouts. There is a recovery stretch after each workout, which gives you a chance to stretch after each workout section (four repititions of one exercise, then a 30 second recovery stretch). You work the legs, shoulders and abs, it is a complete workout. I recommend getting a balance ball and smaller weights with the workout (although these are not required, it is easier if you have these items to follow along). I also recommend Jorge’s “Belly Fat Cure” (which is essentially minimizing sugar intake) available on Jorge’s website. So far this year, I have lost about 15 lbs. following the “Belly Fat Cure” and using Jorge’s workout DVD’s. My only (minor) criticism is that his audio commentary could have used some better editing. But overall this is a very good workout, he recommends you do the three 20 minute workouts over a week (for example, one 20 minute workout on Monday, one on Wednesday and one on Friday).
