Negative Positive
Title: Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Review: Although Phillips' exercise regimen is, I think, a reasonable one, and he's clearly a good motivational speaker, I found the book infuriating for two reasons:1) It's a prolonged advertisement for Phillips' nutritional supplements business. It IS possible to be fit and healthy without taking all that overpriced stuff!2) His definition of "fit" is limited to those who are buffed and slender. This isn't unique to him, of course. But the idea that you have to be buffed and slender or you're not "fit" has, I think, discouraged a lot of people from pursuing exercise regimes that are more appropriate for their personal needs. The goal, after all, is not just "fitness" but HEALTH, and someone who's fat and old but takes a half-hour walk every day is probably generally healthier than someone who spends 12 weeks on Phillips' regimen and then gives it up because they don't have the time.
Is the review positive or negative?
