So you’ve decided, you going to escape the drab and grey weather and head for the sun? Are you sure you want to show off that body of yours as it is? Or could you do with some fine-tuning? Well, don’t despair help is at hand with this workout book and it might just assist you getting rid of that spare tyre accumulated during the excesses of the festering season. Jorgen de Mey has devised exercise and nutrition plans to change the shape and fitness of many celebrity clients, including Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie, Josh Hartnett, Billy Crudup, Jeremy Irons, Bridget Moynahan and Faye Dunaway.
In The Action Hero Workout, he describes the programmes he put together for various stars, such as the six weeks he spent getting Ben Affleck in top shape for Armageddon and Pearl Harbor. He tells how he evaluates the stars' physical status - and how you can evaluate yours. Convinced that his new method of nutrition and physical training can help any healthy person reach his or her personal best, he details a workout that will start to show positive changes in just three weeks: more endurance, increased strength, weight loss, signs of a more muscular body and a better cardiovascular output. If you follow his programme, Jorgen promises, 'you will become the best you can be'. But beware – just lying in bed reading this book won’t do a thing and I’m living proof of that statement – I’ve not got one iota more muscle from reading this book. |
