BOSS to BIKINI: The Bikini Boss Complete Transformation Program Hardcover – June 21, 2016

I'll start by saying I liked this book. It's an easy read, and everything is expressed in a pretty straight-forward and easy to understand manner. I pulled some good information from the book and will be able to incorporate a lot of it into creating a more healthy lifestyle.There is an exercise plan and "general" guidance for figuring out a range of macro counts for protein and carbs with a suggested list of grocery items. I especially liked the "bowl-method" section for meal inspiration and there was also good information on the roles the individual macros play in nutrition. The workout plan given was also displayed in an easy to use and understand way (although a few of the exercises will require me to google before attempting because I haven't heard of them.)The reason I had to give 3 instead of 4 or 5 stars is because the book is not a complete guide or plan to transformation as the title suggests. Some big pieces are missing. Several times there is mention of meals plans being determined by individual macros and one mention of the plan incorporating height for accurate reading (there is no chart or reference for this -- only a large-gapped guideline, so I had to find a macro calculator online for my individual needs).Towards the end of the book it mentions "we have designed your meal plans ... so it is best to stick with the macros and order of meals we have provided". Neither are provided in the book. It also mentions that a fat loss plan should be followed for two of the plan phases and a maintenance plan should be followed for the third phase. Again, no meal plan is given in the book and their is no info given on differentiating from a fat loss or maintenance plan if you're figuring your macros on your own.I do think the book does a good job of laying the groundwork for teaching "how to fish" as it's put several time in the book, but it falls short of actually teaching. Perhaps it's meant to be a supplemental book to those on the author's personal training/nutrition plans available through her website. If that's the case, I'm sure it's a great aide for those clients. Just not for those thinking they were getting a full plan in the book alone.

Making the reading of this book that much better.Not only are you getting a lifetime's worth of knowledge and expertise for LESS than $20 [talk about a f***ing steal!!] and some commitment of your time [MORE THAN WORTH IT!]You are also getting the opportunity to get to know the person she truly is!The book is written in a sense of, "conversation" .. If you will.While she breaks everything down perfectly, so a newb solidly understands even the most difficult of processes, especially pertaining to health & wellness, fitness and nutrition..She does so, in a fashion opposite of handing you a giant text book to browse through or just slapping her wealth of information on a report full of graphs, pie charts and mathematical equations, where you may feel left unsure of what the hell.o you just read.She writes this book as if having a one on on conversation.You & her. Just the two of you.She has an approach seemingly so simple - yet, much different of that which most of us know and are taught by.Her approach is applicable and doable. It gets you excited. It works. It's successful.She will never stop evolving her program.Her program is based upon her ability to always be informed of what's best, what's working and what isn't; new trends and old, better ways, best ways and how all of that best fits to each of us as individuals and yes, even particular groups.She has great methods. Awesome advice and the best ideology's.She maps out all of what you need plus, plus, PLUS, in order to be a success at meeting your fat loss, muscle gain or whatever other weight related goals you may have.This book is so much more than helping you through your journey of a "body" transformation.In the confines of its front and rear; within the spine holding those pages,you hold the power to unleash yourself.Your mind.. And, that 'thing' that has been holding you back.The first section of Boss to Bikini ..alone - body transformation goals or not - is wondrous for all that pick it up and read it.That's a promise.

Does not sugar coat things and gives a legitimate training schedule as well as photos on how to do the excersises.Photos are not in colour but hey at least they are there!!!!!! Have learned a few new things and use it as a go to reference ( especially for glutes)This is a good value for the money and great for beginners and experienced competitors alike.The book itself is a hardcover and has a professional feel about it.

This woman's light shines so damn bright it would be impossible not to catch some of it! As a leader in the fitness community, Theresa has opened up about the path to lifestyle and success.Theresa's authentic voice is relatable and funny making difficult topics like "self-love" or complex concepts like "macro-nutrients" an engaging read.This book will become a resource guide for me and many others as I have already ordered several copies as gifts.

Just what I needed to get on the right track to my fitness goals! Theresa doesn't just tell you what to do she explains "the why" behind it. I find understanding "the why" can help you to really put things into perspective and be more educated therefore having a higher chance of success at your fitness/lifestyle goals.

Loved the breakdown of the program and the physiology behind it. Extremely informative with a honest approach. Definitely a winner!
