Awesome work out program

This is a great book that shows you how to work out properly without wasting time. For anyone that wants to get in shape or stay in shape this is a great book to get.

Sly Moves is pure inspiration

This is a down to earth book. Stallone writes in a simple straight forward style that is very clear and easy to follow and read. He's one of Hollywood's best writers and should go down in history as one of our great national treasures. I'm sure philadelphia would agree. His workout format is truly inspiring as well as all the difficulties he's had to overcome to master his own challenges and bring his body into discipline. I really like the book and when I bought it for me, my husband picked it up and couldn't put it down. There are tons of pictures and advice as well as behind the scenes every day life stuff he talks about here and there. I've worked hard at discovering for myself what works and what doesn't work and this book only reaffirmed lots of the good habits and conclusions I've already been doing. I've implemented some of his training into my own program and noticed an immediate difference, especially with working the abs. The diet section, his recommendations on how to approach the food stuffs, is down to earth and very practical. I already had been eating healthfully this way for some time. When I read it his approach, I reached a conclusion that his method has been tried and tested because I went through the same ropes to learn the same things. It doesn't take a genius and he's figured out the common sense way to make it simple and with results. However, Stallone's indulgences for sweets is evident and he allows himself one day a week for a splurge. I never do this and so perhaps my own diet is stricter than his! The book is written as both an instructional book for beginners, intermediate strength building athletes and has some advanced exercises for advanced training. He has great exercises for building up the core and working the interior back muscles along the spine and not just the cosmetic aspects of the back. These are great exercises, especially for someone like me who needs to strengthen the back and spine. This book is also an inspirational fitness book. I think what strikes me most about the book is the personality that bubbles out from the pages - like the essence of the man and his strength,energy, and great sense of humor - it all comes off the pages and seems to reach people on this basic level - like his Rocky character - no frills and straight from the heart. He even goes into the pitfalls of self competition and what he learned along the way. Love it. The book is an easy to read book and even includes a section for women's fitness and features Stallone's beautiful wife, Jennifer. It's a good book to add to your fitness library. I read it and turn to it almost daily for tidbits of information to add to my workouts and health regime.

Regarding the latest stint about steroids - well that has nothing to do with the book. The book was written several years ago and there is nothing about it that is not true in terms of fitness. I give the book a five star rating because of its content alone. I don't compare it to something outside of it's subject matter like steriods, which is outside of the book's content. I rated the book by its own merit and not because I agree with or don't agree with the current news lines about steriods. That is a topic and circumstance outside the topic of the book.

Motivation to Exercise and Eat Right from Sly Stallone!

Most likely, you are not going to buy and read this book unless you are a fan of Sylvester Stallone. With that said, being a fan, you won't be disappointed.

I have enjoyed Stallone's movies for years, and I was especially happy to see a 60 year old Rocky back in the ring, and I'm eagerly awaiting the new Rambo movie where we get to see another hero kicking butt in his sixth decade.

Like the heroes he plays on the silver screen, Stallone has kept himself in shape throughout the years. My favorite parts of this book are the stories about Sly. It is motivating to read about Rocky, Rambo, and the other heroes Stallone brought to life, as well as the training Sly did to prepare for those roles.

The portion of the book that describes exercises is nothing you can't find in many exercise books, since the exercises are pretty common. What is motivating is seeing pictures of Stallone doing the exercises and still looking in shape. Maybe not the ripped Stallone we saw in Rocky 3 and 4, but in great shape nonetheless. The little notes with each exercise add a different twist since they are personal to Sly, such as him telling us that Carl Weathers, aka Apollo Creed, taught him the hammer curl.

Stallone's gives brief comments on some of the popular diets of date, and then provides a reasonable eating program. He throws in a couple recipes to boot. The book then ends with some motivating advice.

If you are a fan of Stallone, are looking for a good motivational book to get you exercising and eating right, this book will do the trick.

Sly Moves

I started this book expecting it to be another body builder babbling on about who knows what, but it was suprisingly down to earth and interesting.
