The 90-Day Home Workout Plan: A Total Body Fitness Program for Weight Training, Cardio, Core & Stretching

Great Work out Highly Recommend
As the author states there are millions of fitness books on the market today. So what makes this 90 day home workout program any different?The course takes you through 3 phases. Each phase lasting 30 days – – for a total of 90 days.The author indicates that these workout programs are not designed for bodybuilding. If you're looking to feel better, look leaner and accomplish more in less time than this is the book for you.The workout has 5 unique components. It consists of, a warm-up, cardio training, weight training, core development and stretching. This program comes complete with a list of exercises for each day. Although the author states that you don't want to necessarily count repetitions, the workout is tough enough he states. There really isn't much equipment that's required to complete this workout.You need a pair of dumbbells (a set of adjustable dumbbells will probably be preferential,) a jump rope, and pretty much that's it. The course is not heavy with push-ups (although there are enough different types of push-ups that are included) and pull-ups like in the P90X program. But if you're looking for a low-cost alternative to Tony Horton's and Beachbody's 90 day workout then this is a very low cost alternative. The course is illustrated with full-color photographs that illustrate each of the movements. Overall this is a great workout and a great book to own. Highly recommend.

Can’t wait to see the results
As good as anything you’d expect for that price great info info and work outs in it. I would say for people who don’t know the workouts it can be tedious going back and forth from the description to the workout.

Great program, great plan! Get up and start now!
I am on week 5 of Dale’s program. I have lost 10 pounds and I feel great!I have traveled quite a bit over the last three years. I went from doing a Warrior Dash in 2013, to being completely sore after my first workout in Dale’s program. It was very humbling. In so many of the places I traveled I did not have access to a gym. I would try to run, or even walk, but I used the Alaska weather as an excuse to not work as hard as I should have.With this program there are no excuses. You could do an entire routine in your hotel room, and I have. It would be better to have dumb bells of course, but if I didn’t have access to something I could use as weights I would just switch my interval day with a resistance day. When it’s 20 degrees outside, I just run stairs instead of run outside. The program is flexible and it works!I would recommend this to anyone that doesn’t want to (or can’t) head to the gym every day (though it would definitely work for any of you that can!)

This is your personal trainer!
A Personal Trainer, right there in your iPad/Kindle!Why spend hundreds on a gym/personal trainer when you can follow the guided plan in this book in the comfort of your own home? It makes it so much easier to fit into your schedule too. There are awesome pictures in this book showing you how to do each exercise, and a plan telling you what to do and when. This way you are getting a fully rounded workout program.Also I love that it's not a skinny model in a magazine "showing" you how to do something with the perfect lighting and make up etc... Those just make me want to throw the magazine in the trash. I'm taking all the pages and printing them into a binder so I can easily flip a page open and keep track of what I've done. I'm just more of a hands on reader personally, and also prevents sweating onto your iPad! Can't wait to check out the rest of Dale's books.

Lots of variety, no rep counting
I’m not a gym person so this book seemed like a good option for working on fitness at home. It is appropriate for most fitness levels, and there is a lot of variety, so I’m not getting bored with the workouts yet. There are 5 main components to each routine, involving warm-up, cardio, weight training, core, and stretching. You don't have to count reps, just spend the specified time on each component. The workouts are formatted in a style that can be easily printed out for reference while you’re doing them. I also appreciated that each exercise is explained in text and with pictures.

Great tips
A great book for anyone starting out in the gym. Or, thanks to the many tips in the book, starting out in your own home, saving money on gym memberships. A refreshing approach. This 90-day workout can actually be done right in your own home. The first part of the book goes into detail about the "why's", and the latter part tells you "how". Or rather, shows you how, thanks to the many photos that is included. But with good descriptions, too. This really makes all the difference, as you are trying to do the exercises. Every day of the 90-day period is explained in diagrams. Everything is included from warm up, cardio, weights etc. A very good book for anyone who wants to improve overall strength and health in a well thought out program. Recommended!

All of the pictures have been removed in the Kindle version. This is a con.
'A total body fitness program'.... Except they have taken out ALL of the pictures of how to do the excercises in the Kindle version. No warning is given when you purchase this that it is a redacted no-pictures version.I want the pictures to show me how to do the exercises!Bait and switch. Buyer beware.

The pictures are of extremely poor quality and way too small
This book is poorly organized. A person needs to be inspired, motivated, feel something to want to move forward, but this book makes me want to just close it and keep it shut. The pictures are of extremely poor quality and way too small. People like, need, and deserve a clear picture to guide them. Overall, the book seems 'bunched up' as if space were an issue. Not everyone can read small print, nor should they have to. It is not organized at all. Also, some of the pictures fail to represent the description of the exercise. For example on page 45, the 'Calf Bounce', it states, put your feet together, yet the person's feet are clearly quite apart. Please note - the book isn't all bad. There are helpful tips and fun facts here and there, but overall the quality is poor. Let me put it this way - if a person is new to exercise, they would feel confused, overwhelmed and probably would not go forward. The way how the book has been set up, can be quite confusing. No, I would not recommend this book at all.

A comprehensive workout plan with great pictures to boot
A comprehensive workout plan with great pictures to boot. It takes you from something a beginner could do all the way up to 90 days where, if you've followed the plan, you can certainly no longer call yourself a beginner! Dale has put his heart and soul into this and it shows, and the introductory break down of the '5 components' of a good workout was a great way to help me understand what matters most when working those muscles. Look forward to more from Dale.

Good workout programmes to do at home
It was a good product and gave to my husband to do as some of the excises may have been for men but unsure.

Three Stars
Tiny pictures/images; incorrect page numbering and image numbering. But otherwise plenty of warmup/stretching exercises.

Easy to follow intructions and pictures
This exercise book is well set out. It's broken down into components and has easy to follow tables and pictures. I am very lazy when it comes to exercise but this book is great for making even the laziest of person want to exercise. The description and pictures explain very clearly how to do each exercise - which is good for novices like me. I will be following this plan.
