Your body is special. It is a product of billions of years of evolution and consists of trillions of cells that work together to produce a single, extremely complex, durable, and adaptable biological machine. Its level of health will dictate the quality and length of your life. Its level of fitness will dictate where you can go, what you can do, and how far you can get. Its appearance will dictate peoples perceptions of you and the standard of the partners that you can attract. The good news is that all of these properties health, fitness, and appearance can be significantly improved with training.

The purpose of this ebook is to give you everything you need, whether male or female, to create your best possible body. Packed with guides and training programs, it's a complete guidance and training system that contains everything necessary not only to completely transform the way your body looks but also to improve every single key component of physical fitness, from your muscular, cardiorespiratory, and functional fitness to your flexibility and body composition.

The ebook is divided into eight parts.

Part 1 introduces you to weight training and its benefits, goes over the details of muscle science, and reveals the fundamentals and methods of weight training. It also offers guidance on how to get started with weight training, find a gym or set up a home gym, warm up, cool down (stretch), track your progress, keep motivated, and ultimately succeed.

The Nutrition Guide covers all of the important elements of good nutrition, dietary management, and strategic eating. After beginning with a detailed look at all macronutrients and micronutrients, it explores calorie requirements, bulking and cutting, dietary tracking, supplementation, and nutrient timing. As a small bonus, the guide ends with advice on how to save money on healthy foods.

In Part 3, you will find weight training programs eight for men and eight for women. The men's programs are designed for maximum muscle and strength, whereas the women's programs are designed for maximum curves and functional strength. The eight programs include a beginner program, a minimalistic program for busy individuals, five increasingly difficult programs that cater for different levels of experience, and a plateau buster program designed to ensure that you never stop making progress. You can complete the training programs at any gym or at home using basic gym equipment and alternative exercises that I have provided for each program. Apart from the beginner program, all of the programs have been meticulously balanced so that you can repeat them over and over again for many years with reduced risk of developing muscular strength imbalances. Note that the training program tables have been optimized for smartphones so that you can take them to the gym if you have the ebook on your phone.

Part 4 explains the fundamentals of power, plyometric, and bodyweight training, and presents power, plyometric, and equipment-free bodyweight workouts. It also gives you the tools necessary to design your own equipment-free bodyweight workouts, which you can use if you can't make it to the gym or if you go on vacation.

The Target Muscle Guide is very original. However, it's also quite detailed, so it might not be an easy read. After briefly introducing you to joint articulations and the three planes of motion, the first half of the Target Muscle Guide reveals all of the main muscles that are activated by different types of exercise, such as horizontal pulling exercises, glute/hamstring-dominant compound exercises, and vertical pushing exercises. The second half of the Target Muscle Guide presents lists of all of the most effective compound and isolation exercises that target each major muscle. Use it as a reference whenever you want to focus on a muscle of interest.

The Cardio Guide begins by covering the basics of exercise physiology, the fundamentals of cardiovascular training, and the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of three types of cardio: steady-state training (SST), interval training, and functional circuit training (FCT). It then presents three cardio training programs, including one SST program with three workouts, one interval training program with three workouts (two of which are high intensity or HIIT workouts), and one FCT program with two workouts. The workouts of the three different types of cardio can of course be repeated as many times as you want to. The workouts are also interchangeable, which means that on one day you can do SST, on another day you can do HIIT, and on yet another day you can do FCT. One of the HIIT workouts follows the original Tabata protocol, which is extremely intense and intended only for experienced individuals. The Cardio Guide concludes with instructions on how to design your own FCT workouts.

The Weight Loss Guide is short but very useful for anyone whose primary goal is to lose weight. It presents three steps to easier and permanent weight loss, along with a wide range of tips and tricks that can make losing weight, and keeping it off, much easier.

The ebook ends with a sizable glossary that includes many key terms, concepts, and principles related to muscle science, weight training, cardio, fitness, and nutrition. You can use it as a reference or a revision tool.
