This book is great for someone who is starting out.
However, I found that the book was lacking in variety of exercise for a person who already knows the basic weight training exercise.

I found that the book did not go into much detail in all the chapters, it was more like a breif summary.

I guarantee after 8 weeks you will be looking for another book that provides a variety of exercises so that you can alternate and stay motivated.

I like the Men's Fitness book a lot and thought it woould be all I needed for working out at home, but I have to say I was wrong.

While the MF book provided lots of tips and plenty of exercises, it didn't give me the missing pieces I was wanting to help put together an effective home workout program that took into consideration my need for having a thorough exercise, nutrition, AND motivational program.

It's tough for me to go to the gym and even tougher for me to work out by myself and at home. But the Home Bodybuilding book has made it so much easier and enjoyable. It not only gives lots of information about exercise and nutrition, it also convincingly explains the ways of how to get started and stay on a home workout program. It's been those ideas that have helped me reach my goals quicker than I imagined possible.

I'd like to see the author do a follow-up book with more information on home workouts. I've noticed that as I've gotten into to workoing out more, I'm wanting more and different ways to work out.

This book works and is highly recommended.

I almost quit working out (again) if it weren't for Home Bodybuilding. I have two kids, a full-time job and no time for a gym and I needed to find something that would help me keep in shape. I'm so happy that I found this book.

The book has five parts and they are:
Part I--Getting Started
Part II--Nutrition
Part III--The Basics
Part IV--Body Specific
Part V--The Mind

It is also broken down into giving workouts and advice for women and men (a good thing since I have no desire to have big muscles) and it has lots of good workouts and exercises you can do at home or in the gym.

It seems to cover all the basics by featuring exercises and workouts you can do with barbells, dumbbells, machines, no weights and exercises with just your body and even using infomercial equipment.

Yeah, I admit it. I bought the Total Gym a year ago and after a few months of using it (it now sits in the garage, thank you) it's more like the Total Joke, but that's a whole different review.

Anyway, this book has been really helpful and if anyone is looking for a no non-sense way to get themselves in good shape and do it at home, this is the book I'd recommend.

I was looking for a book that was geared for people who want to work out at home and couldn't find anything until I found Home Bodybuilding. The format is based on three steps which are the mental, physical and nutritional. The book also has separate sections for men and women as well as exercises with weights, without weights and even infomercial equipment. I liked the author's straight forward approach which doesn't have any agendas like other books I've read (i.e. like Body For Life which the author of the book is also the founder of the supplement company EAS which is promoted in his book) and he provides lots of good information which works. He is also very motivational and the book is filled with inspiring observations, quotes and affirmations which are helpful. The last part of the book is devoted to the mental aspect of being successful working out at home and while being a bit apprehensive about it at first, I'm a believer now. All in all, a well done book I'd whole heartedly say "get".

Home Bodybuilding is simply excellent. I had no time for a gym or personal trainer and I didn't want to buy lots of exercise equipment for the home if I wouldn't use it, so I bought Home Bodybuilding because it had lots of exercise I could do without going to a gym or having equipment. That is one of the things that attracted me to the book was that the author was saying "You can can great excellent results without a gym" and that was what I wanted.

After weeks of following the Home Bodybuilding three step program, my body has changed in a great way. I've lost 15 pounds of "fat" and gained strength all over my body. The thing I really like is how much better my body looks. Before it was flabby and I did not have much energy and now I have more energy and my body (especially under my arms) doesn't jiggle around anymore. I can't wait to see how I look and feel in the next four weeks! This is the book to get!

Hi from Germany!

We like this book very much over here. I ordered the book weeks ago and it is working excellently for both women and men who are the people we train at our health club each day.

With so many books to choose from, we wanted to find out out more about this book since we knew very well the writings of its author Robert Wolff from his writings from Muscle & Fitness magazine.

His writings were excellent for the bodybuilders but we all agree that what he has to say for anyone who works out at home are even better.

Our members are getting excellent results from this book and his words of inspiration and we think anyone else would too wherever they live.

As we say in Germany this book is "sehr gut"!

I bought Dr. Connelly's "Six Weeks" book and gave the "Body For Life" program a try and I even did the Atkins and Eades diets and not one of them worked as well as Home Bodybuilding.

The book doesn't have any radical nutrition information, but it does have lots of good diet and exercise advice and it's filled with the author's "Life Lessons" that I found have really helped me stay motivated and focused.

It's been a really tough thing for me to stay motivated for any length of time on exercising or dieting and this is probably even more true for me and my friends who want to work out at home and not have to drive to the gym all the time.

So far, Home Bodybuilding has allowed me to go farther and progress more than any other book or program I've tried and that has made me really happy.

I wanted a book that would inspire me with something different that would FINALLY help me lose the 50 or so pounds I've been wanting to get rid of and Home Bodybuilding by Robert Wolff is it!

I've read so many books about protein and carbs and what all the experts say and they just confuse me. I mean, c'mon, give me a break. One expert says eat too many carbs you get fat and the other says eat too much protein and it's bad for your body. How does anyone know who or what to believe?

That's why I like this book. It's not pushing one diet or anything else over another. It's not pushing one exercise plan or anything else over another. It's just great advice that gives you a no bs approach to eating, exercising and working out at home.

I like the fact that the book covers all bases from working out at home if you have weights, no weights or even bought infomercial equipment. Robert Wolff gives excellent tips on how to get the best from any of them.

While the diet and exercise advice is excellent, what changed my body and way of thinking was his chapters on how our minds work to either help us or hurt us depending on how we are using them.

His explanation of our "loyal servant" (our unconscious mind) is so revolutionary and something that no other book even touches that it alone could be all you need to know to finally break the fat cycle and create the body you've always wanted.

This book is life changing and my body and life is proof. This book is going to help a lot of people.

Honestly, my thinking was this would be a book about someone wanting to be a bodybuilder at home, but I was wrong. Not only are the models mainstream (for god sakes does that cover gal have a great body)...argghhh..., but the information inside is so un-bodybuilding that it surprised me.

The book covers working out at home, dispelling the myths (lots of great ones here), workouts for women and men and and it does something no other book I've ever seen or bought does...tells you how to stay motivated.

This is very important as the author says, and I agree, that one one of the toughest things for anyone who exercises to do is stay motivated. Especially if you're working out at home and by yourself.

I really, really like the explanations of how our mind works that either keeps us where we are or makes us what we want to be. I never ever thought that for so many years, I was the one holding myself back! And the affirmations are incredibly positive, uplifting and life changing.

I say that from personal experience, as I was someone who has been so frustrated for so many years of all the failed dieting and exercise programs (and personal trainers) and never really understanding why.

This book has opened my eyes and beliefs like no other. Pick up this book at the book store and look through it for yourself. This book is a real sleeper and you're going to be amazed at what you'll find inside.

Recommend it? Yeah, and with 10 stars if Amazon would let me.
