International ACP 2010 – Conference Site

The Truth about Abs, a program created by Mike Geary, has gained an incredible amount of attention in a relatively short period of time. Many claim that his program has helped them immensely, and that it is the reason they were able to get their six-pack. However, whether Geary’s program is really the cause of this or not is unknown. The real problem with the Truth about Abs is that it really isn’t a program. It is simply a book full of useful information which you can use to help make better decisions about your health. Nothing in his book, though, is purely original material. He simply took the most useful bits and combined them to create his book, which he’s selling for nearly $40. All of this information is readily available online, in books, and from medical professionals. Thus, is it truly worth it to purchase his book? This Truth about Abs review will focus on answering that question.

Much of Geary’s program is devoted solely to losing body fat. Although this is a crucial aspect of developing abs, Geary probably should have separated his information into separate books. As he personally stated in his book, there’s enough information regarding diet and what you should eat to help your body burn fat to fill a book. By cutting much of that out, he leaves the reader with less information than they have a right to, considering the rather substantial cost for a book. Similarly, the information he does provide is rather basic in nature. Anyone that has paid any real attention in biology or anatomy, or even biochemistry, would already know exactly what he’s talking about.

Another issue with the program is that Geary seems to take credit for several exercises that are common practice, and for creating workouts that involve several of these exercises. He is not, by any means, the first to use these workouts, yet he takes credit for their effectiveness. However, this is definitely not the first case of a person taking credit for something that others have done.

Finally, Geary’s advertising techniques are far from ideal. His web site is rather aggressive in the way it promotes his program, and to get any information at all about the program you have to either go ahead and pay for it, or watch a video that’s approximately twenty minutes long. Once you start watching, there’s no pause button. You either have to watch it all the way through in one sitting, or you have to settle for only a portion of the information available. In addition to this, you’re forced to listen to relatively useless information for the first five minutes or so. This, combined with the fact that this program is really just information you should already know, makes this program less than great.
