Product Description

Achieve the lean, fit look of a professional athlete in just twelve weeks with this straightforward fitness plan.

New studies are confirming what Paul Goldberg has already observed in his high-profile clients: getting leaner—not just thinner—is the single most important change that we can make to feel and look our best. What many Americans struggle with today is known as normal weight obesity: normal body weight, but high body-fat percentage, which can lead to serious health problems. Now Goldberg has developed an effective plan to lower body fat by eating the right foods and building muscle.

The twelve-week Lean Look program requires no fancy equipment, takes thirty minutes a day, six days a week, and can easily be done at home. Goldberg shows how to add foods to your diet that promote muscle development, cut back on foods that encourage fat storage, time your meals for optimal nutrition, and exercise to burn fat. With over 100 photographs, a Lean Look journal, body-fat tables, and a four-week meal plan, The Lean Look is a straightforward guide to getting the sculpted, athletic body you've always wanted.

2 out of 5 stars Not for seniors or those with limited budgets or space   June 19, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I heard Paul Goldman discuss "the Lean Look" on a radio show and was enthused by his description of the program --particularly his comments that the exercises could be done at home with "bands" and "tubes" by anyone who could walk. The Product Description repeats the claim that the Lean Look program "requires no fancy equipment." To my dismay, the program requires:
dumbbells at a cost ranging from $250 to $500 (unless you opt for a cheaper set with adjustable weights that are "an especially poor choice for the circuit workouts") or work out at a gym;
an "exercise bench" with cost starting at $50 or go to a gym;
cable resistance equipment with starting cost of $36 for a door gym with elastic cable (but best is a weighted set starting at $1,000) or work out at a gym;
and a stability ball with costs only $25 to $45 but difficult to store and transport or go to a gym.
So, unless you have an extra room and a few hundred dollars to invest, plan to purchase a gym membership.
Other issues include:
the workout schedules are in minute type that are difficult to read and require reference to prior pages thus defeating the goal of minimizing time between workouts;
some exercises using the stability ball and exercise bench could be dangerous for seniors whose strength and balance may be compromised;
the meal and supplement suggestions are unrealistic for anyone on a limited food budget.
On the bright side, if you are young with discretionary time and income and want to get in shape, this book may be for you.
