Smile How to Create a Great Body — A Complete Training System

How to Create a Great Body — A Complete Training System for Creating a Great-Looking Body and Improving All Aspects of Fitness

Well, I have finally finished it! My ebook, How to Create a Great Body, is finally launched! And as far as I'm aware, there's nothing like it. It is the most complete training system for men and women that I am aware of. It includes everything from weight training programs, cardio programs, stretches, power and plyometric workouts, and bodyweight workouts to a weight training guide, a cardio guide, a nutrition guide, a weight loss guide, and a target muscle guide!

Apart from producing the illustrations, I did everything myself — I planned everything, I wrote the guides, I designed the training programs and workouts, and I constructed the EPUB, MOBI, and PDF files.

That final step I only managed with the help of this website and the great people who roam these forums!

Hi.
Just a little heads up folks. You have to buy from his website and the guide is $39.99.

Now to the OP,
I looked at your site. It left me with a couple of major questions.
1. There is nothing about you or your background. If I am going to spend that kind of money, I want to make sure the author has a good background in the field.
2. Did you put together the actual exercises?
You might want to put the information you gave here on the web page. I looked at the website first before reading all your description here. Hence the question.

Now I will be back I want to research something.

Research done.
A quick glance shows there are over 4000 books on weight training alone.
What I did find was the average price is $12.99 for the paperback version. And cheaper for the ebook.

Oh and just a heads-up, the word count was a bit of a turn-off.
I don't care how many words if the information is good.
My first thought when I saw that was "is it all information or did the author pad his words for a big word count and why if the author is good did he announce his word count? "
Most people besides authors use page count not word count.
Is this a big book or a small book? Is it illustrated?
And why didn't you put it at the big book sellers?
Oh and do know some people have had bad experiences with some banks so that information may be a turn-off.

It's not a guide; it's a complete training system with multiple years' worth of training programs for both men and women, covering weight training, cardio, stretching, plyometrics — basically, everything.

It's a complete training system for total-body development that also includes multiple guides (a weight training guide, a cardio guide, a nutrition guide, a weight loss guide, and a target muscle guide). It also covers power training, plyometrics, bodyweight training, and static and dynamic stretching. A 12-week weight training program alone usually costs in the region of $50 to $100.

One of my first customers wrote to me and said these exact words: "The sheer quantity of information is overwhelming." That's why I included the word count on the sales page. I need customers to know that it is substantial.

Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I should remove the word count and communicate the size of the work in different words.

Thanks!

Ok so it is still a guide, just a very complete guide.

Next question, that training program you refer to, does it include a live person helping you?

Yes, please use different words that the average person has a concept of.

*Oh and one other little tip: Don't be bragging you did it all yourself on the book part. In some circles that screams amateur and people will run away from it.
Like I tell others, don't tell people you are an amateur writer. Let the work speak for itself.

I wish you the best of luck.

It is a complete training system for both men and women that also includes multiple individual guides. There are eight weight training programs for men and eight for women, three cardio training programs, two bodyweight workouts, two power workouts, one plyometric workout, instructions on how to design your own cardio and bodyweight workouts, 14 stretches, a weight training guide, a cardio guide, a weight loss guide, a nutrition guide, and a target muscle guide. There's also a large glossary. In other words, it's a complete training and guidance system that's packed with everything you need to completely transform your body and improve all important aspects of physical fitness. I personally haven't seen anything like it.

There are no videos, if that's what you mean.

I was assuring people that I did everything myself, as well as leading up to acknowledging the people who helped me in these forums.

This was what I was asking about:

Does this include a live person or just books/videos to show you what you should do every week?

Your program does sound good and you do sound knowledgeable.
Now I am messaging you.

Many of these so-called fitness gurus sell single, very basic, and poorly designed weight training programs that only last for eight to 12 weeks, and they often charge $50 to $100! Their programs essentially consist of nothing but a simple PDF file containing exercise tables and instructions. There is no live help. What's more, the training programs haven't been balanced, which means that they can't be repeated over and over again.

As I mentioned, my system includes several weight training programs that collectively last one year and 12 weeks if you take a week's break between each one. However, I have also meticulously balanced my programs in accordance with recommended muscle strength ratios so that they can be repeated over and over again for years and years without the risk of developing muscle strength imbalances. The men's weight training programs have been designed for maximum muscle and strength, whereas the women's ones have been designed for maximum curves and functional strength.

Instead of presenting my system in just a PDF file, my customers get a PDF, a MOBI, and an EPUB, which means that they can print it, read it on Kindle, upload it to iBooks, upload it to Google Play Books, and read it on their e-readers. I also optimized the training programs for smartphones, so my customers can take the programs to the gym!

And if any customer is displeased (none so far), they can take advantage of my 60-day money-back guarantee.

As I said earlier, as far as I'm aware, there's nothing like my training system.

Thanks, Cinisajoy! I appreciate your feedback, and I thank you for the advice in the private message! It'll help me to protect my system, so I am grateful.

Talking Yay!

Just wanted to announce that my complete training system is now available at Amazon (Kindle), Barnes & Noble (Nook), Apple iBooks, Kobo, Scribd, Tolino, and Inktera — for just $10!

Also, you can buy all three versions — PDF, EPUB, and MOBI — of the ebook from my website for just $12.99!

Once again, I thank everyone on this forum for their kind support.
