Product Description
About the Author
Fitness expert Shawn Phillips says it's time to forget fad diets, miracle pills, and trendy exercise machinery--it's time to get back to basics. It's time to accept the fact that if you want to build a lean, healthy, muscular body, complete with a defined set of abs, you're going to have to work for it.
However, he points out that hard work and dedication alone are not enough to produce the results most people are looking for--you have to follow an intelligent plan. And, unfortunately, in today's world of over-hyped and under-performing "quick fixes" for building better abs, finding a voice of reason has become a real challenge. The good news is there is a solution--a practical solution for building your best abs. And that solution is clearly revealed in the book you have at your fingertips right now.
ABSolution incorporates the many lessons Shawn Phillips has learned through his own pursuit of building a better body, which has spanned some 20 years. It also incorporates his countless hours of scientific research and real-world experience gained by helping numerous world-class athletes and people from all walks of life successfully reach their fitness goals. ABSolution is not a quick-fix, nor is it a "simple and easy" way to get in great shape. It's an effective, scientifically safe and sound approach. And it's a common-sense approach in a fitness industry where common sense is not common at all.

Nice coffee table book, but I was a little let down,
This review is from: Shawn Phillips' ABSolution: The Practical Solution for Building Your Best Abs (Hardcover)
I have been following Ken Brungardt's book "The Complete Book of Abs." I was looking for some refinements from that book, which is quite comprehensive. Although ABSolution is a a good looking book, I find it to be more about Shawn Phillips and his brother Bill than about helping me further refine my ab workout. ABSolution is a super start for someone who has done no ab work at all. But if you are more advanced or need a structured program with a day-to-day plan, I would recomend "The Complete Book of Abs."

A Lesson from the Trainer of A-list Celebs, Stars & Ahtletes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shawn Phillips' ABSolution: The Practical Solution for Building Your Best Abs (Hardcover)
First of all, I have to admit, a new book from one of the Phillips brothers had me a bit skeptical (ala: Body-for-Life from Bill Phillips, now Absolution by his brother Shawn), but I had to pick it up to see for myself if there was some new "trick", even an old dog like me could learn (I've been personally training celebs/ahtletes in Toronto for over 10 years). The remarkable way in which Shawn explains the necessary components of training, nutrition and even supplementation is downright simple, but effective. He doesn't over complicate principles and theories, he merely presents the scientific facts, coupled with a good dose of 'his' 20 years plus common sense. And you know what... it works! I've been following his program for over a month now, because my clients have been asking me about it, and I've made some decent gains -- stripped off some flab and can once again see all of my abs (and I feel like i'm 20 again). And, my training has been invigorated again. That's the best part of all -- it's made working hard to build a strong, healthy physique fun again. Something I lost long ago. So, my hat's off to Shawn and his brother, for once again, producing a straightforward, nononsense book on building a better body. Oh yeah, the artwork and pictures inside is simply incredible too (this alone is worth the price of admission)! I now encourage ALL of my clients to start with Body-forlife if they've never worked out ,and then to use Shawn's Absolution as the 'next step' - to further improve their physique. One great thing too, you can go to Shawn's website, which is www.bestabs.com, and download all of the training/nutrition worksheets for free. Absolution is one my top three fitness books of all times. Thanks Shawn and Bill.
