6 Pack After 60: A Simple & Effective System for Getting & Staying Strong Kindle Edition

Pretty straight forward guide to keeping to a routine. Use of body weight makes it travel friendly. With that said I feel it's not 5 stars worthy but useful. I found the Sumo squat not as effective and actually strained my groin. Push-ups are a concern because of tendinitis in my left shoulder. And my right shoulder the same when i fully hang for the pull-ups. The Hindu squat is not knee friendly so I'll do the traditional not all the way to the floor variety. Mr. Hess is in tremendous shape. Kudos to him. I use Perfect push-up handles and that seems to help the left shoulder. I bought a 90 lb pulldown band along with the door attachment. I also bought a 40-80 lb pull-up assist band. Haven't tried it yet but should work great on that exercise. I try doing just the hang to strengthen that my grip and arms. I'm careful not to make the shoulder worse. The band pulldowns are great! A rope or towel on the door handle is just not as effective. One last thing is I do reverse pull-ups from a stool. That is not easy so it's good to work on. In summary Mr. Hess has the right idea thus the 4 stars. 6 pack abs probably if you're gifted and work hard and diet. But in 2 weeks I've noticed improvements. Thank you Jim Hess!

The only issue I have with Jim's book is the mention of a diet book which, after some years, has not appeared. In addition, his website is not in use and neither is his e-mail address. Seems he simply disappeared after writing this book. I hope all is well with him and his wife.Any updates would be much appreciated!Allan

Not a lot of new information, but, Mr. Hess' story is inspiring. This would be an excellent book for a beginner, but, leaves out the most important aspect of the program: diet. You don't get a six-pack by doing pushups, chins or other exercises.As the saying goes, a six-pack is built in the kitchen.

James Hess shows you in this book how to stay in excellent shape with only body-weight exercises such as Pull-ups, Push-ups and squats. If you are looking for a realistic plan to follow for the rest of your life into old age, this is it! Highly recommended!

Time will tell. The book is simple, to the point, with a workable plan. It has caused me to re-evaluate my gym workouts, and has incentivized me to hit the gym more regularly with shorter work-outs as the book outlines.

This book is short, sweet, and to the point. Well done!I am looking forward to reading his food/diet book.

A waste of money if you are physically incapable of doing his method.Personally I can't get on my knees (injury), and I am restricted on how much weight I can bear (surgery)... so this book was useless to me.Might have been worth it if he'd included alternate method for the physically restricted.

Trying to lose wgt and hoping to tighten belly area. seems to be working for me.

This is the basic strength training for everybody irrespective of age though the author targeted senior citizens. It's well presented. There's no pressure. It's up to you to decide when and how to get back or to remain in shape. So, one doesn't need to be 60 to take advantage of the content of this book.
